Newsom’s Vow To Reopen California Is A High-Stakes Political Gamble
CapRadio ^ | April 6, 2021 | LAUREL ROSENHALL

Gov. Gavin Newsom is running two races this spring: The first is to clobber the coronavirus pandemic that has killed nearly 60,000 Californians and devastated businesses and schools with unprecedented restrictions. The second is to keep his job, which could be threatened by a recall election later this year. 

The two paths intersected today as Newsom announced plans to fully reopen California businesses on June 15 — if hospitalization rates remain low and the state has enough vaccines to inoculate all Californians who want a shot. 

“We’re seeing death rates… go down. We’re seeing case rates stabilize. We have the lowest case rates in the United States of America,” Newsom said during a press conference in San Francisco. “On June 15, all things being equal, if we continue that good work… we’ll be opening up this economy (for) business as usual.” 

The June 15 reopening happens to fall during a period when voters can remove their names from the recall petitions if they changed their minds.

COVID didn’t crush the economy.

Government did.

For me that means no masks, not lockdowns. No limit on elevator capacity. Otherwise it’s anything but “usual”.

We have the lowest case rates in the United States of America,

Case rates mean jack. Deaths are the only real metric.

The entire country should be up and running and back to normal by June 1. We are giving over 3 million vacs a day, that’s another 180 million by then.

Which is enough to cover the 10 million illegals crossing the border this year.

Gov. Gavin Newsom devastated businesses and schools with unprecedented restrictions.

360 million could be “vaccinated” and at this point I see very little change in political behavior by the left. Their words mean nothing and it seems that we are going to have COVID seasons/variants since the Flu has become extinct.

60,000 people died mostly from the flu or other causes and not the Chinese virus. The democrats for good measure banned the use of medicine like HCQ that could have saved many.

Why did they do so? To kill as many people as possible.

I was banned from a site early on just for posting an article about HCQ. I was then banned from another site a few months later for posting a video of senate testimony about ivermectin.

I’ve been posting in forums since 1887. This is a new thing. It is censorship, plain and simple.
