MERS spread through the Middle East and Africa but also got to some parts of Europe, Asia and even America. COVID-19 has spread everywhere across the globe. This makes your premise of "do you quarantine when you get a cold" off. Of course you don't because the common cold doesn't really do much. COVID-19 is NOT a common cold.

This is the only part of the post I will reply to because it is clear that you are nothing but a conspiracy nutter that believe this is fake pandemic and that your personal responsibility means that you can do what you want even if it infringes on my rights.
I am NOT a "nutter", and do follow for years those who are not sheep and don't follow the Fauci crowds...

I actually got told recently that the temporary work from home for my company is turning into a permanent thing.

I honestly couldn't be happier about that.

As I've said many times, I have not had a cold, flu etc in over 30 yrs, thanks to the 50cents a day or so I spend on my health.
I do wish people remembered that they have immune systems and that nutrients can help them from getting seriously ill.

There is also a lag between how people respond to a crisis and the state of information in the crisis. All they really know is how they feel and don't absorb the changing information or more importantly its context.

See the doctors trying to recommend drugs when vaccines are almost widely available. Why would anyone take advice from someone who's not on top of the subject in which they're supposed to be trained?

CA cases are up 1.6% from the day prior. https://covid19.ca.gov/state-dashboard/

CA’s restrictions have been tighter then most states throughout the pandemic but they clamped down even harder mid to late November and even more in early December when they banned outdoor dining among other things.

How long should we wait to see the results of the restrictions put in place in late November? A month is not long enough?

California's plight has been an abject tragedy. It endured the most intrusive restrictions, for the longest time. Initially - through around May - its results were admirable. Good results have a habit of foreclosing on opposing arguments. Fine. But then things became... not so good. Some people blame summer protesters. Others blame wanton youth going to the beach. Still others blame families gathering for dinners at home. Regardless, cases increased. Measures were tightened, but cases kept on stubbornly increasing.

It just sounds too much like that unfortunate epigram, "The beatings will continue, until morale improves".
