SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that President Donald Trump has approved California’s request, submitted earlier today, for a presidential Major Disaster Declaration to bolster California’s COVID-19 emergency response efforts.

“Earlier today we requested a presidential Major Disaster Declaration and this afternoon we got it,” said Governor Newsom. “The declaration will supplement our state’s comprehensive COVID-19 surge planning and make vital resources available. We appreciate the quick response and partnership from the White House.”

The Major Disaster Declaration makes federal funding available to state, tribal and local governments for emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance, and makes funding available for crisis counseling for impacted individuals.

The State of California and local governments have taken extraordinary steps to protect public health in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Last week, the Governor signed emergency legislation allocating $1.1 billion toward the state’s response, issued a Stay at Home order, deployed the National Guard to help support food banks, and signed an executive order to prepare the health care system for a possible surge in cases.

Looking at CA website information, Gavin Newsom says President Trump has deployed a Navy Hospital ship to Los Angeles:

@GavinNewsom

President Trump has approved our request to deploy the #USNSMercy to Los Angeles. Grateful for the quick response and partnership, @realDonaldTrump .

And I discovered that CA has it's own "office of the California Surgeon General".

What’s Governor Gaviscon doing about the thousands of homeless on the sidewalks?

We had 1500 cases today with a population of 40 million, I am listening to hospital staff SCREAMING they don’t have enough supplies WTH with 1500 patients throughout the state and a population of 40 million this is just a bunch of BS! The general population is not paying attention to the numbers compared to population are people really this STUPID where gov. can take over their businesses AND lives with these kind of numbers???

I think CA is the 5th (or is it 9th) largest economy in the WORLD so the left wants to shut down CA to halt US economy and damage Trump’s chances for re-election. Just my 2.

I just found that the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting nearly double the cases and deaths in the U.S. than the WHO. Hmmm

I frankly don’t believe WHO or the SF chronically they are BOTH full of crap!!}

[TigersEye]

True! But in this case they are full of wildly different crap.
Both are claiming to be updating frequently.

Does anyone have numbers we can trust?
