Castaic is not apart of the Santa Clarita valley, why are the numbers there included?
They are IN this valley. They’re going to the same places I go to presumably. I for one want to know their statistics as well. Why are we arguing semantics of city property lines?
either is Stevenson ranch..
Because the jails have split jurisdiction.
Eeeeeeeee maybe because it’s better to understand the threat/environment around you than to get bogged down in territorialism? … ??♂️
It’s pretty well known the virus doesn’t know the difference and with that information people like our 1st responders and health care workers can make informed decisions since they’re the ones on the front lines of this pandemic ?
Is Valencia Westridge included with Stevenson Ranch or Incorporate Area of Valencia?
The reported numbers are a mess and not helping anyone understand anything. At this point, it must be intentional.
Would it be so hard to list separately the numbers of the Pitchess infected inmates?
Why are they being reported under any of the communities when they are not comingling at grocery stores, gas stations, etc.?
The Pitchess staff being accounted for under the communities in which they live makes sense.
Please sort the numbers more reasonably.
I’m sure by the broader description Santa Clarita “Valley” they’re taking in consideration nearby cities. Other than just the city of “Santa Clarita”.
Richard, Castaic is in the Santa Clarita Valley. Just not in city of santa clarita aka”awesometown”
