Congressman Ruiz is a good friend of my dad's (also an ER doc) and I had the privilege of spending time with him at his annual fundraiser last year in Palm Springs. It doesn't surprise me that coronoavirus is bad in that area, especially because the past few months through now are when it's not 300 degrees outside and all the community events are going on. Cornell just announced that commencement Memorial Day weekend is postponed so I wouldn't be that surprised if late June events don't make it either
