Gov. Gavin Newsom offered a message of hope in his Tuesday press conference celebrating the arrival of the vaccine, but cautioned that the state has many dark and difficult months ahead amid the deadliest surge since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but we are still in the tunnel," Newsom said. "And that means we're going through perhaps the most intense and urgent moment since the beginning of the pandemic."
In the past seven days, 163 Californians have died on average a day, compared with 41 a day a month ago. He warned this number will likely be higher in January, especially if residents don't follow public health orders.
“We have ordered for 63 53-foot refrigerated storage units that are currently standing by in hospitals,” he said. “We just had to order 5,000 additional body bags and distribute them down to San Diego, Los Angeles. That should be sobering. I don't want to scare folks, but this is a deadly disease and we need to be mindful of where we are. We are not at the finish line yet."

“I don’t want to scare folks”
Yes you do.
Total BS.
Damn! more reliable voters.....
Well, we know HCQ and ivermectin early treatment didn’t kill them..
This has got to be fake news. Everyone knows that California is locked down and masked, so this surge in illness is impossible. /sarc
I wonder how much of that so-called increase is due to skyrocketing homicide rates all over the state...
Don’t more old people die normally during the Winter months?
Not to mention the suicides and ODs being classed as WuFlu deaths...
On average, 1400 people die a day from all causes in CA. Based on the media coverage, you’d think death were an infrequent occurrence prior to this disease.
Sf hate toting the water for newsom.
Newsom is scared Jim.
cant be they have been locked down and wearing those amazing masks for nearly a year!
Los Angeles County in Commiefornia averages about 174 deaths per day, from all causes. You could bet you whole paycheck that these death stats are including the huge number of deaths from heart disease and other causes as Covid deaths, because these people sniffed a single Covid molecule sometime in the past 6 months and the PCR tests magnified that by 500 trillion times and showed them positive for Covid.
Fear mongering. I don’t believe a word of it.
So, total lockdowns are working as designed, perfect!
Drive more people to dependence upon big government.
Those maks-wearing heroes look so concerned and serious!
BS.
Cities are doing their destruction so China can buy property when residents move away. I stole this theory from someone else, so I can’t take credit...That is indeed the answer, however.
So masks and social distancing are pointless.
Figures lie and liars figure.
Died? Died of what?
