"The three companies, now also joined by Instacart and Postmates, funded a ballot initiative, Proposition 22, to exempt both ridesharing and delivery companies from the AB 5 requirements, while also giving drivers some new protections, including minimum wage and per-mile expense reimbursement. Proposition 22 passed in November 2020 with 59% of the vote.[8][9]"
Oddly, this site doesn't report for my local counties that are listed as having submitted data to CDC's NWSS (King and Pierce counties in Washington State).
I wonder if the more "popular" counties are pay-walled or something?
EDIT: According to the site, "County Selection:
Counties associated with each location were provided by our sampling partners, and correspond to the primary county served by each sampling location. In the county-level section we highlight a subset of counties which had at least 21 weeks of data and whose sampling locations represented at least 10,000 individuals, as well as the primary counties of our sampling partners in the Biobot Network."
So I'm curious what other factors are excluding the largest (by population) counties in Washington?

So the law has an exemption for the exact workers it was targeting.
