Newsom warns of ‘tremendous strain’ at hospitals, defends ‘pragmatic’ policy on asymptomatic workers
KCRA Sacramento ^ | January 10th, 2022 | Daniel Macht

Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that models show the omicron surge could drive California hospitalizations past the record of last winter and cause a “tremendous strain” for facilities in the coming weeks.

Newsom sounded the alarm after being asked by a reporter about new guidelines that say health care workers who test positive and are asymptomatic for COVID-19 are allowed to return to work. No quarantine or testing is required.

The California Nurses Association has opposed the move and Newsom was asked about whether his policies are causing COVID confusion since he’s previously talked about the asymptomatic spread of the virus.

This will certainly aide the spread of Covid and thereby shorten the pandemic.

Good policy by accident and stupidity.

“...defends ‘pragmatic’ policy on asymptomatic workers.”

That’s not pragmatism; it’s dogmatism.

If refusing to prosecute violent criminals works so well, we should try having highly contagious health care workers running our hospitals.

There is no such thing as an asymptomatic cold or flu. Bad tests are giving false positives.

They have destroyed themselves and are giving insanity a try in order to find a way out.

“There is no such thing as an asymptomatic cold or flu. “

True.

But there is fairly common asymptomatic transmission of Corona and Influenza viruses.

That was then. Now he is lying out of the other side of his mouth.

I don’t think so.

It is asymptomatic for the vast majority.

“Asymptomatic” = “False-Positive”

Exactly. I did hear Fauci say sometime over the past year that it’s very RARE that asymptomatic people spread anything. They used this fear early on to freak out the young people. Fauci said that everyone could get AIDS too. Scared everyone.

If you don't have any symptoms then you aren't sick. I never understood why they said otherwise. That's like saying that healthy people (asymptomactic) are constantly, really sick, they just don't know it. It's nuts.

I have a different take on this, Every Plaintiff Lawyer in California should start running Ads for clients that got sick from the Hospital full of COVID positive nurses. Then Local County DA’s should INDICT Newsome for MURDER if anyone Dies from this attempted GENOCIDE

Yet they still are pushing their hardest to get us to take these experimental shots; there is NO LOGIC HERE (and thus plenty of cause for concern).

At least they’re not even pretending to “follow the science” anymore.
Now it’s just “do what we tell you and don’t complain.”
