Youth bicycle vs. vehicle accident in El Rio (Ventura County, California), in what might be the worst possible sidewalk/road infrastructure in the county. They don't even have sidewalks in this part of our county (traditionally, poor, Latino). These are the places where sidewalks + bicycle lanes + crosswalks would have the biggest impact on safety.

Ventura County Star · Young cyclist suffers major injuries in El Rio collision involving vehicleBy , Ventura County Star

ER's still backed up badly here in Ventura County (based entirely on how long my son, a paramedic, is spending waiting at the ER entrance with patients). Worth avoiding catching anything if you can. (too late for me, fighting off a respiratory ailment here, almost better though...sniffle sniffle). Still near zero masking locally. #health #VenturaCounty

Strengthening surface high pressure in the Intermountain West will likely favor an increase in Santa Ana winds over Southern California during this period.
