Placer County Daily numbers are not correct

Placer county recently switched their daily Covid-19 case count page from a simple table to an arcgis map dashboard style web page. The current web page tools to gather the Placer county case totals have not been working since the Placer county web page made the change.

Endemic approach

Governor Newsom has announced an "endemic approach" to COVID-19 in California. It's the first US state to shift response to COVID-19 as an endemic disease, although Newsom has stated that "this pandemic won't have a defined end":

From ABC news: [*https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/california-adopts-nations-endemic-virus-policy-82965886]

When COVID-19 becomes officially endemic in contries and subdivisions, what must be done to articles like this? European countries have also stated to soon shift their COVID-19 policy as a response to an endemic, so COVID-19 articles must be updated to this stage of the pandemic, which has opposing points of view about "living with COVID" or "endemic delusion". 187.16.132.41 (talk) 12:14, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just seeing this now, I added material recently. SmolBrane (talk) 15:30, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
