We knew this was coming. With the rise in COVID cases across the country, Gov. Gavin Newsom is imposing the strictest regulations yet in the Golden State.
“We are sounding the alarm,” Newsom said in a statement. “California is experiencing the fastest increase in cases we have seen yet — faster than what we experienced at the outset of the pandemic or even this summer. The spread of COVID-19, if left unchecked, could quickly overwhelm our health care system and lead to catastrophic outcomes."
So, starting on Tuesday, counties home to 94 percent of Californians will be moved into the state's "most restrictive" coronavirus tier.
BREAKING: Nearly all of California going to most restrictive #coronavirus tier as @GavinNewsom hits "emergency brake"94% of CA will live in purple tier now, including Alameda, Contra Costa, Orange, Santa Clara, Santa Barbara counties — Jeremy B. White (@JeremyBWhite) November 16, 2020
NEW: Governor Newsom announces CA is pulling an “emergency brake”, meaning counties will move back after 1 week, not just 2 weeks, some counties will move multiple tiers, and California is going to assess the color coded tiers again later this week. @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/6V8hEEwulT — Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) November 16, 2020
Newsom's mandate comes after similar restrictions in New York, where bars and restaurants must close by 10 p.m., or in Michigan, where indoor dining isn't allowed and organized sports are banned, and in Illinois, where Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot told residents to cancel their Thanksgiving plans.
Here's what the White House says about all the shutdowns.
Radical leftist Governor of Oregon is ordering no more than 6 people can gather for Thanksgiving. Joe Biden says only 5!Radical Governor is even threatening JAIL TIME for getting your family together at Thanksgiving.
This is ABSURD leftist control. Not the American way! — Kayleigh McEnany (@kayleighmcenany) November 16, 2020
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, meanwhile, is keeping her state open. And saving thousands of jobs in the process.
Sucks if you live there.
Get ready for your long dark winter.
Have posted this several times. Seems apropos here:
My guess is what’s going on with these new edicts that sound exactly like the old edicts in March is the Democrats heard all that cynical talk along the lines of, “Oh, sure. You watch. After the election, all this crap will stop,” and they feel like they have to keep the FEAR going awhile longer as a result to make things look on the up-and-up.
We have just seen reported the tests for covid are masively creating false positives
If they are still using these tests their numbers are meaningless
And they are locking down the states for fear of the nationwide biden vote cheating that occurred
2 weeks to flatten the curve...
I am one who said the fight to hurt Trump was the main motive.
FReepers corrected me to add: but they won’t let go of the tyrannical power and will extend the edicts. They were right.
I bet it does, but I live in Tennessee, Middle TN to be exact. I have never been to Kalifornia and wouldn’t like to visit there
Bullshit. Just don’t do it!
Live free or die.
We’re planning a trip to CA. To visit our kids and grandkids for Christmas.
This covid count is just another scam. The numbers are about as reliable as Biden’s and Obama’s vote count. Healthcare workers must be tested weekly in Oregon bringing in thousands of dollars a day! Even non-profits! This is costing them thousands PER WEEK. The state DOESNOT PAY FOR IT.
Enough of this fraudulent crap. It’s time to plug your ears and d as you wish. Rioters out every night in large groups are NOT bent arrested. Blue state governors have lost ALL CREDIBILITY.
This is all about NWO and President Trump’s hindrance of them.
I’m here in cal. Newsome is just another punk liberal; the answer: nationwide hydroxycoliquin sp? availability. Safe cheap[ and effective if used early or as a preventative. If so, I think thousands of people wouldn’t have died.
f’n liberals suck d in hell...pardon my French...
The Great Reset is coming
I can’t wrap my head around a curfew in CA
I think we should first do everything possible to Protect our Elected Officials in California by Quarantining EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL in the State for 90 Days. I think “Quarantining” them in Folsom Prison would be the best way to make sure they aren’t infected by the outside world
Recallgavin2020.com. Tell all your California friends!!
March 13th, 2020: “15 days to flatten the curve.”
November 16th, 2020, after 8 MONTHS of lockdowns, masks, and socialist distancing, and this is where we are. Lockdowns, face masks, socialist distancing, and misery, with no end in sight, even WITH a vaccine (just ask Fraudci). We are being lied to, we are having our country, our freedom, and our lives ruined, and no one is really doing anything to stop it.
The amazing thing is that virtually no one in “journalism”, or even in positions of politcal power, are asking the obvious question:
If face masks, lockdowns, and socialist distancing are effective, why are we still doing it after 8 months?! I’d like just one person to ask that question of these dictators.
YES!!!!#
Masks make people sick...IMHO
Gruesome Newsom, the lying POS and most corrupt governor in the state’s history.
When he ordered all of the wineries in Napa County to close their tasting rooms, he kept his Plumjack Winery tasting room also in Napa County open. He only closed it once word got out he had kept it open.
He sends his two children to a private school that holds in-school classes while all of the public school children are being forced to remain at home.
He attended a friend’s birthday party at a restaurant last week while the rest of the state’s residents were being advised not to congregate in groups. He was blasted and then forced to “apologize.” This guy is a lying sack of s**t.
Now he is ordering residents to wear masks anytime they are outside their homes, and rumor is that by Friday he will be ordering a curfew.
All this from the guy who when running for public office in San Francisco was having an affair with his campaign manager’s wife, a guy who was reported to be a best friend.
