While California’s rate of new coronavirus cases is at its lowest point in months, the likelihood of the virus resurging has increased in recent weeks in the state’s largest metro areas, Gov. Gavin Newsom said this week.
The state’s average daily positivity rate over the last 14 days is now at 2.8 percent, Newsom said, down from 3.6 percent on Sept. 14.
Coronavirus-related hospitalizations and intensive care unit admissions have also continued to decline in recent weeks, both by around 20 percent over the last 14 days.
That trend of reduced viral spread has resulted in more than a dozen counties across the state, including several in the Bay Area, moving out of the state’s most restrictive reopening tier since the state switched to the color-coded tier system on Aug. 31.
Newsom, however, echoed state Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly’s recent warning that there are reasons to believe the virus may begin spreading exponentially once again.
“While it’s true we have seen a three-fold decrease in the total number of cases since our peak in mid-July, we are seeing early signs that those decreases are beginning to slow down, they’re beginning to plateau,” Newsom said.
The virus’ effective reproduction number, which measures how many people can be infected at any given time, hit its nadir in the Bay Area and Southern California in late August and early September, according to Newsom, and has been trending upward since.
While there is still time for the state to curb the potential growth in cases, Newsom said, Californians will have to be cautious to avoid spurring a second large wave of cases, particularly in tandem with the seasonal flu.
Let me guess, we need to stay locked down until “after the election.”
If the governor thinks the COVID may increase Then why the hell are we going forward with reopening things like indoor dining and other Businesses.Personally I think a lot of this crap is all Political.The Governor wants his cake and eat it to.Keep it shut down awhile longer and make sure.Just until after the election then I will bet you there will be a major change all the lies will stop.
Old Timer~
Yes,…your key point, after the election, there will be a major change all the lies will stop. Sounds about right.
sounds like Gavin doesn’t like the recall campaign gaining ground.

#EndNancysReign
Yeah, same guy who said we were doing this so hospitals weren’t overwhelmed. Remember that?
Recall him. He is a monster
He had better NOT keep CoCo County from opening this week…..
This level of control over people is something liberal bureaucrats and politicians fantasize about their entire lives.
Why should they let it end ? ? ? ?
Original G~
I hear you there.
Science Doesn’t Care What You Believe.
“Science” can’t even show us a virus…..other than CGI artist renditions.
You do not Quarantine HEALTHY people.
Meanwhile, furloughs happening at hospitals. Let’s not forget the tik tok dancing nurses videos.
@R
it isn’t science here. it is those whom we trust that understand this stuff. but some of those folks are using this as a chance to get back at the bad orange man. so we are at their mercy at they decide that the ends (getting rid of the orange man) justifies the means (lying to us)

@Anon
Actually, science has brought us a wonderful invention called a microscope that does indeed allow you to actually see the virus (google it)…
Actually you do quarantine healthy people, mainly to help keep them from getting sick. If you knew a tornado was gonna hit, wouldn’t you get into a bunker? But why? It hasn’t hit you… must be a government plot to get you in a bunker while they test the ufos…
Oh and the dancing nurses… if you don’t have a little fun now and again while under a bunch of stress you will lose it, so let them have their fun.
@ERas
Actually, the somatascope by Gaston Naessens was confiscated and destroyed.
No color images of a so called virus exists.
2nd, what they are calling “viruses” are exosomes.
Question: When produce in your refrigerator starts to go bad…..is it because it has a “virus”?
@Anon
Well, pulling out a lot of big sciency words for someone that doesn’t seem to believe in science…
So, science via Gaston Naessens HAS given us a way to see viruses, just someone destroyed it…
They call it a virus because if they told the average person that there was a exosome outbreak it would just confuse them. Exosomes containing viral genomes can promote viral spread by infecting adjacent, or in some cases distant permissive cells, while evading immune recognition, thanks to the absence of viral glycoproteins on the exosome membrane. Therefore, even though the infection from covid might not kill you, the lung/heart/brain infection it helped along might, or at least cause some serious damage along the way.
As far as the refrigerator question, No, it doesn’t have a virus. Food breakdown is typically because of cellular decay, bacteria and molds that break down the food. So what does rotting food have to do with this conversation? Time to clean out your fridge?
Please he knows flu season is here and is going to open so they can get a bunch of flu cases and call them Covid and get more fed money
He and pelosi are robbing us blind
But hey they have been for over 40 years and you still voted for them
So at least we know how fault it is
You voted to keep the same corruption
And now it is moving into grandstanding mode
Taking everything
Passing bills to legalize the sexual abuse of your children
Wow you have really outdone yourselves with destroying the laws of this country as well as its freedoms
This is your doing take responsibility for your actions
Voting for a dem only government has gotten us here
Corruption and socialism are running at full speed
Along with the fleecing of your state tax money and now lol
By allowing the taking of your fed tax money
The show is off the rails and your happy about it
God help our children from what you have voted them into
Legalized child abuse
Wow your lows and misjudgment still have no end
Nov is comin
We either fight back to save this state or the dem walkers eat us all
ALIVE
“Please he knows flu season is here and is going to open so they can get a bunch of flu cases and call them Covid and get more fed money”
I get it you think public health officials are making numbers up. I’m not sure why you think this, it may just be a reflection of what you would do in their position, but be it as it may.
But if they as you seem to believe just make numbers up, why in the world would they need Flu cases to do so? They could just make them up, because Flu will not give any positive signals on a COVID-19 test.
This dude just LOVES power, doesn’t he? Gavin: “JUMP!” Liberals: “How High?!?!”
Gavin: “Jump!”
Liberals: “How High?!?!” 🙄
To someone needs to here this.How many times around election time do things like this happen just think about it.How do you think COVID got here by accident.I don’t think so.
And when the numbers drop a new flare up mysteriously appears.
This all isn’t China’s fault.
I was reading an article this morning about comparing the similarities between the Spanish Flu and Covid-19. It mentions that in San Francisco people rebelled against wearing masks during the Spanish Flu. There was of course no internet then but newspapers published several editions throughout the day.
Don’t celebrate it so no big deal.
Actually, to the businesses that can now open it kind of is…
Anyone else notice that in Napa County where Newscum and his family own businesses they were always in the fore front to open?????
Things sadly work in mysterious ways with all the fires up there that everyone has to endure and suffer!
Why can’t we lose him and recall him. All are correct when they say after the election. BTW-what happened to all the masks he gave away and the generators not to mention all of the hotel rooms reserved that were never used. Refund to the state coffers? Not on your life.
How dare you ask reasonable questions.
The recall effort is really moving as there are many reasons to be unhappy with Gav. Signing sb145 should be enough to cause anyone with a child to want him out. Now with sb132 allowing prisoners to choose their population based on how they identify. This one will keep lawsuits sizzling in the courts for years.
He’s also in court October 21st to answer for his unilateral legislative abuse. His lawyers offered to settle, that’s how worried he is.
This is typical socialism / communism. Give people hope and open a little then take it back. It is textbook ! He has no intention of reopening and giving up his totalitarian control. The ca public heath director is in Newscums pocket. We will never stop the virus . You can not keep people in house arrest forever he needs to be taken out ! Recallgavin2020.com
Just like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown……Hey, you screwed up, you trusted me. Now, try to kick it again……
Newsolini must be getting nervous as he knows he will be recalled. Hence the executive orders on tax payer funded tranny surgeries and eliminating gas powered vehicles by 2035. He’s a block head and those who support him are as well. What blows my mind is the willingness of some to give up their rights of any kind under the guise of public safety. Again BLOCK HEADS!
Now ya know, could be, he’s setting himself for his job after politics fails him when auntie nancy isn’t around to tell him what to do or he gets voted out.

When the numbers are high, it’s bad news and catastrophe. When the numbers are way down, it’s … still bad news and catastrophe.
Today Newsom signed ab3121 which forms a task force to decide how we will be paying slavery reparations to black people. Even though California was never a slave state. No kidding.
@The Fearless Spectator
Now while I do agree that this is stupid, I’m failing to see how this applies to a threat about covid-19 from 2 days ago… If you wanna raise awareness I’d suggest one of tomorrows threads.
Agreed. They may not cover it however. Facebook is already removing news links. They are probably afraid it will juice the recall effort.
