Many Californians are under a nighttime curfew from now through Dec. 21 as surging coronavirus cases threaten to swamp health care systems. The state has seen more than 1 million total infections, with a record of almost 15,500 new cases reported Friday.

FILE - In this April 1, 2020, file photo Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretary of the California Health and Human Services, gestures to a chart showing the impact of the mandatory stay-at-home orders during a news conference ,at the Governor's Office of Emergency Services in Rancho Cordova, Calif. On Saturday, California will impose another, partial overnight curfew to stem a recent surge in coronavirus cases.

Dr. Mark Cullen, an infectious disease expert who recently retired from Stanford University, said the underlying goal is based on a reasonable interpretation of data. Los Angeles County, the state’s largest with about 10 million people, could see even more stringent lockdowns as early as next week as its caseload and hospitalization figures reach stratospheric levels. The county accounts for a quarter of the state’s 40 million residents, but it has about a third of the coronavirus cases and close to 40% of the deaths.

The result, however, has been confusion and what some health officials term “COVID fatigue” in which people simply become tired of the rules and let down their guard. In Huntington Beach, a restaurant owner who has been denouncing Gov. Gavin Newsom’s orders since March said he will open an hour past the curfew.

So 15k Californian caught a cold

MY EXISTENCE HAS BEEN HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD I AM MARGINALIZED FOR MY DISABILITY ASSAULT AND PERMANENT DISFIGUREMENT AND A 15 YEAR RECOVERY since 2006 NOT PROSECUTED COVERED UP I WAS A CHILD It's FAILURE to PROTECT AND CRUELTY TO CHILDREN It's CONSPIRACY

That is what happens when our own governor rejects the very mandates he implemented by partying it up at The French Laundry Restaurant. He has lost all moral authority to lead our beautiful state.

Tik tok kids tik toks show they ain’t listening lol

Which is the real nightmare: the curfew or dying from COVID?

Still trying to figure out what this accomplishes.

I heard the virus only spreads at night, anyway.

Does that include illegals?

Newsom is awesome 😎

Well the police say nothing good happens after midnight 🕛 anyway.

Seeing Ghaly’s face makes my fist itch to punch something.

What does the curfew accomplish? GavinNewsom

Most people complaining are rarely out past 10pm!

Just like the only cure for Covid-19 was hydro Q. Now we’re finding out Trumphitler and his enablers hid other possible pre-trial cures from Americans. These pre-trial cures were used on himself, Christi, Carson and other wealthy top officials. This is criminal. Over 250k dead.

Donate to Senate Democratic candidates Ossoff and Warnock in their runoff election on January 5th in Georgia.

must be fake news, i live in california and have heard nothing about a curfew!

I don’t understand why ppl are so.

Lmao. If you get home by 9:59, you should be protected by the China Virus. At 10:01, they should sound the alarm like in Silent Hill. But a minute after your asking for a death wish.... the government knows whats best for your own health.

When do they start enforcing every behavioral standard in the DSM? Are there going go be mental health checkpoints? When does mandatory medication start? After the next mass shooting, or will there just be an announcement?

Close all the retail stores they are a breeding ground for airborne Viruses. Outside sales are okay.

If lockdowns work than why are cases spiking in the places that are locked down?

Yet his actions don’t follow his own orders. Even sheriffs won’t enforce this. RecallNewsom frenchlaundry Us smart Californians left to Texas for as long as possible until you’re recalled.

I’ll be in HB protesting with Silkbrah

Stop mass testing of healthy people.

So it’s not there during the day?

We are too here in Massachusetts.

Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years in the next 40 days so if anyone thinks it's bad now..... Just wait till mid/late January! Suggestion: When you see people who won't wear a simple mask to reduce the spread of COVID-19 you stand up & you call them a F'n A**hole Loud & Proud!

Good. I hear COVID is far more active in the dark. I feel much safer.....

He needs a ruler, and a triple laminated map to 'thuaap' - ' Ladies, and gentlemen. This a virus. ' Perhaps, with a southern accent.

Hey Californians, and then there’s always good ol’ Texas! 🇨🇱

Cases are going up but deaths are not...

What happened to the flu?

Californians are SMART Cookies! We’ll follow the rules and reverse the surging numbers.

stevejekel i wonder if SanManuelCasino will close early

It’s not being enforced and in the Coachella Valley, pretty much everything closes down by 9 PM anyway. This is a huge nothingburger.

Lol! This is awesome!! I hope there is more of this!! Liberals love to be told what to do by government. Close everything down and send us in to economic disaster. Our system is so in debt that China will soon be taking financial control of the country.

It took these idiots 9 months to figure out the virus goes to sleep at night? Amateurs

FYI FrenchLaundry closes at 8:45pm nightly so operations are unaffected.

And 98% recovery you clowns.!!!! Time to start going to hospitals and video taping the “swamped” hospitals.

Americans won't comply with the orders

Butbutbut more testing only makes more ronas

not yet - still got 3 1/2 hours before it kicks in 😉

And only a slight increase in deaths and the vast majority of those are in Southern California

If my peeps could get it together

Can they put Trump under curfew? It will get him ready for his tag.

Newsom is destroying California.

Can't wait to see newsome at a rave on Molly

I’m a liberal democrat. Yeah this makes no sense, even to me.
