#1 Yes, of course. The Bay Area and California as Ground Zero have been absolutely hammered, destroyed I tell ya, by the Greatest Pandemic in Modern History.

As of April 26, total COVID deaths for Bay Area-Ground Zero counties
(SF/San Mateo/Santa Clara),
total pop. 3.5 million,
of which 800,000 Chinese
and >50,000 traveled to China recently = ...
drum-roll
... 174.

= 1:20,000 if you're scoring at home (or even if you're self-isolating)

And this result has next to zero to do with the sweeping lockdown that occurred MONTHS AFTER 50,000 or so traveler's brought the virus back to these counties from China

#2 If California had kept the nascent computer industry local they'd have the world by the ass now. Instead they have crapple and gurgle's HQs and give them pretty much whatever they want. And those HQs can go anywhere the moment a better offer surfaces.

#3 Don't worry Lex. With Steyer driving your death rates will bounce.
