Eh, I think the politics driving this are more local: Newsom is facing a recall. Also, the projections for ICU capacity are looking better, so he may feel he has cover to do a little bit of softening.

Sounds like the Government got some good news about the trends with covid in California. Let’s hope we can keep the numbers down.
Oh thank you, your highness and majesty royal Newsom, for allowing your subjects to once again come outside! God save the Newsom! -your peasant under servants.

Mission accomplished! Orange Man Bad is out of office, replaced by Dementia Man Good. Don’t need the COVID no more.
This starts the clock on the next virus Bill Gates’ minions will release. The next virus will be the real one.
@Scott
I think if folks are familiar with it, it’s okay to do so. I see Biden acting very similar to my mother, who had the disease. It began to affect her at approximately 85 years old. Biden is only going to get worse and by no means at all should he be the president, of anything, let alone the United States.
@Scott…really? I also had a parent with dementia and honestly Joe Biden does appear to exhibit some of the symptoms. Compare his speech now with a video from ten years ago and the decline is obvious and startling. Also, grow some thicker skin.
@Scott….what term would you rather we use? My mother is in a memory care facility and her doctor uses that term with us all the time, only she is much worse than Joe. My mother has dementia because she has been kept alive long past ‘natures calling’ with loads of pharmaceuticals ie: blood pressure meds. If she had died when nature said she should have died she would not have experienced dementia for very long. We bring this upon ourselves.
In my will, the power of attorney states that upon my entering a memory care facility, or skilled nursing facility, for long term residency I shall cease to be administered any life saving medications. This will assure that I live with dementia for as short of time as possible. Everyone should contemplate this.
Your MIS USE of the word of “offensive” will not shame people inot not calling him Dementia Joe. The media led by example for four years on how to treat a President, we’re just getting started.
BTW, if there’s a shortage of gas stations……YOU BUILD MORE. Stop with this ‘ICU shortage’ SCAM.
Joe Biden has a speech impediment. As a child he was often teased because of his stutter. Do a search on Joe Biden stutter.

So in what tier will that place us? Outdoor dining isn’t going to help much with the rain this week, now restaurants will need to scramble to order food, prep, put their patios back together, staff up to handle business, clean and sanitize, etc. Some had taken down tents and parklets, and will need to put everything back together with zero notice. I’m glad to hear about being able to offer more than takeout, but I’m gunshy about the state changing their mind at any second, especially since they still haven’t explained how the region magically shot up to 23% ICU capacity yesterday.
…another expense to the already drained bank accounts of our local restaurants.
They need our continued support. Our family is doing as much as we can by ordering a lot of take-out….we have never eaten this much restaurant food.
Laurel
January 24, 2021 - 10:06 PM 10:06 PM
The reason we may be able to lift our stay at home orders is because our ICU capacity has risen to 24%, the guidelines call for shut down at 15%. Whether the shut down is lifted will be a decision at the County or City level. To everyone who has been masking and following the no congregation rules, thank you for making us closer to re-opening
Exactly as we predicted. Now that we have “The MOST POPULAR president ever”, life is suddenly grand again. It only cost us our country, exactly as they planned.
How long before they put it in place again? You know it won’t last.
Only 317 days to flatten the curve.

Interesting….I was speaking to my peeps in North Carolina. Restaurants, Bars, Salons, Gyms…all open….yes indoor dinning. So why does California with the draconian measures in place have the highest rates of infection? Hmmmm….Large illegal alien population (Democrat Voters or soon to be) high obesity rates, high rate of diabetes, various underlying health issues, 3+ families living under one room. And guess what? There is a new Democrat in the White House. No, I’m just being paranoid, racist, a white supremacist (except I’m black), misogynist, anything else because I question the (Democratic Machine?)
Careful, in the modern Democrat party, you will have your blackness revoked if you don’t sign on to their whole program. Kinds like how Shelby Steel, Thomas Sowell, and Clarance Thomas are basically considered white, and all manner of racist language is perfectly acceptable to throw at them.
So tired of the hyper racialized politics of the era. We are drifting so far from the MLK ideal of the individual, not the racial collective. Keep thinking filor yourself, brother.

So the new age math is showing Newsom that our the regional system is failing so we need to fall back to the tier system … Got it!!
So serious question, will we go back to the pre-existing tier system, or is their a new tier system that we will need to learn and adhere to?

January 25, 2021 - 7:10 AM 7:10 AM
We also reopened last Summer – so any calls about Biden v. Trump is pure BS
Also, as we see the Federal Gov’t taking this seriously, working to get PPE out, a real plan for the vaccines – we will be able to open more – in fact if the Deniers just stopped whining about masks and just wear them we could open even faster.
Businesses have suffered enough from the lack of seriousness from too many people who put their no-mask fight over the success of our small businesses and children in schools.
Should have been opened months ago IF science was followed. Protect those who are vulnerable, let low risk citizens go about their life. Instead thousands of small businesses gone, state in massive debt, we will all get to pay multiple times for the homeless – CA/local Taxes and the new Federal homeless bailout for S.F.
New administration already admitted there is nothing they can do to help with Covid this winter. They promised us they had a plan. They LIED! New executive orders were already in place, nothing new there either. Travel bans (racist under Trump) were in place already just added more (no longer raciat, just like that) masks mandatory for travel….revolutionary plan!
And with a snap, Covid19 is gone. It’s magic, man.

Where is it?

A small step in the right direction. Hopefully Farnitano doesn’t try to flex his tiny little muscles and keep Coco County shut down. Wouldn’t surprise me though.

oh and get that guy out of office too, how does the Farintino have so much power?

Yeah, there were a couple re-openings under Trump but not like the ‘big one’ coming this time with schools, sports, & travel busting back open.

Also: the strengthening recall for Gov. Greaseball is a factor… he’s running scared now.

This is almost assuredly Newsom’s way to recover from one of his public health directors criticizing the intelligence of Californians by saying the metrics were too “complex” and “abstract” for us plebeians to understand. So generous of him to reopen outdoor dining…literally the instant before the rain finally arrives! I’d be shocked if the tier system was still a thing by April 1st, I think a state-wide reopening plan based solely on vaccination rate will take its place. For example, I think if 25% of the population is vaccinated by then, I would predict that indoor dining, churches, and the like being open at 25%.

Newsome and any other person ordering shut downs should forfeit their salaries during such shut downs and be required to apply and wait for unemployment. They should also lose healthcare and pay over $2000 a month to COBRA to maintain family healthcare.

January 25, 2021 - 10:40 AM 10:40 AM
Newsom’s New public relations people are campaigning that the recall effort is funded and signed by Quanon, The Proud Boys, Anit-Vaxxers, and White Supremacists (See Los Angeles Times And others). Unbelievable.
Rumor has it a far left group called “The Dirty French Laundry Basket Non-binary Gang” are invading wine tasting rooms all over the Napa Valley. They use improper wine tasting techniques as their form of protest…….
Let's recap...
January 25, 2021 - 11:14 AM 11:14 AM
So while so many businesses have now been forced to close for good due to these past restrictions and the livelihoods of so many have been destroyed, the world’s richest ten people are now half a TRILLION dollars richer since Covid-19 pandemic began!
Sounds like Newsom is getting worried about the recall.
I wish Gabbing Nuisance would stop interrupting the noontime news.
Funny this happens days after Biden gets sworn in. Things that make your go …hmmmm…..
You mean like how it happened in Michigan, Chicago, New York, and Baltimore too? Funny isn’t my word of choice.
I was thinking the same thing. I guess they assume we are all stupid.
Eh, I think the politics driving this are more local: Newsom is facing a recall. Also, the projections for ICU capacity are looking better, so he may feel he has cover to do a little bit of softening.
Sounds like the Government got some good news about the trends with covid in California. Let’s hope we can keep the numbers down.
We also reopened over the summer and fall while Trump was in office.
A miracle happened, Joe is President, I mean, due to science and data we have soundly trounced Covid and will now reopen the state!
Too late Gavin, due to science and data, you are gettin’ recalled.
We also reopened over the summer and fall while Trump was in office.
Oh thank you, your highness and majesty royal Newsom, for allowing your subjects to once again come outside! God save the Newsom! -your peasant under servants.

Laurel – not true. The Bay Area’s is at 23%. Southern California and other parts are still between 0% and 5%.
@claycord LA times reported that LA socal areas are projecting ICU threshold to reach 15% again soon.
