California Gov. Gavin Newsom says state is ‘days, not weeks’ away from changes to stay-at-home order

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Friday that the state is “days, not weeks” away from making significant modifications to its shelter-and-place order and could begin reopening parts of the country’s largest state economy.

“I feel some confidence over the course of the next week we’re going to be able to make some announcements that will give people some more confidence in the ability for California to get back on its economic feet,” Newsom said.

Newsom said state officials are “very, very close to making some announcements” that will be very meaningful to people in the retail and hospitality industries, including restaurants, although modifications will be in place.

“If we can hold the line and continue to do good work and just avoid the temptation to get back and congregate with people in ways where we can see an increase in the spread, we’ll get there much sooner than many people perhaps think,” Newsom said.

Newsom said state officials are “very, very close to making some announcements” that will be very meaningful to people in the retail and hospitality industries, including restaurants, although modifications will be in place.

He cautioned, however, that the state could set its progress in fighting the outbreak back if people congregate and don’t adhere to social distancing guidelines, referencing those who congregated on the state’s beaches last weekend.

Did he say that before or after today’s big protest in Sacramento?

His press conference was at the same time as the protest.
I think he has felt the heat and now sees the light

Lead, follow or get out of the way.

All these Democrat Governors that want to keep their states locked down are seeing signs that citizens are on the verge of revolting (yellow vest anyone?)

This has past the point of being about “public health and safety”, its now an exercise in behavioral conditioning.

Apparently so. The little fascist governor has done the math and understands that he doesn’t have enough weenie CHP in pretty bellhop uniforms to take on a few million dissenters.

Defending territory is much more difficult than writing speeding tickets.

The big tyrant doesn’t have enough little tyrants.

Make no mistake, these goons are feeling the heat big time and they are afraid.

The more people resist and ignore the lock down the more people will join them and the less the “authorities” will be able to do about it. There is nothing worse for one of these tyrants than to appear weak.

The politicians are beginning to fear the people. It is as it should be.
