When the risk/benefit changed to now perhaps those reused bags being a Covid risk they altered the policy. In this situation the plastic bags were safer at least in the short term.
Scoff all you like, but I see this as how government should work. Agile and concerned both with human life and with the world. Imagine actually using science to influence policy.

You do know you’re talking about SF right. They have big section just off downtown the cops and EMT’s won’t go in with armor protection.
