California governor orders statewide stay-at-home order

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday ordered the state’s 40 million residents to stay at home, restricting non-essential movements to control the spread of the coronavirus that threatens to overwhelm the state’s medical system.His move came after counties and communities covering about half the state’s population already had issued similar orders.

Newsom asked President Donald Trump to send the USNS Mercy Hospital Ship to the port of Los Angeles for use through Sept. 1, in a letter dated Wednesday. California has disproportionately aided people returning to the U.S. from foreign countries and needs the ship to help “decompress” its health care delivery system as infection rates climb, Newsom wrote. The ship is based in San Diego.

“This projection shows why it’s so critical that Californians take action to slow the spread of the disease — and those mitigation efforts aren’t taken into account in this projection,” spokesman Nathan Click said in an emailed statement. In a separate letter, Newsom on Thursday asked U.S. House and Senate leaders for $1 billion to support surge planning for state and local health systems. He said that money would be needed to do things like set up state-run and mobile hospitals, housing options to help people socially distance and testing and treatment for people without health insurance.

It warned many California households “may fall into poverty” without a “substantial economic intervention.” “We’ll start out nice,” Kelley said. “Then we’ll post a notice to close and then we will take enforcement.”

American needs freedom

This is a breach of human right. No freedom. This is such a dictatorship!

BrooksWeather California broke the ice so who is next

Yup here comes the racist folks

But they're not going to enforce it! Why bother?

Can we still go out to grab a dirty sixer of ice cold ronas?

Does this mean I can't surf?

Bish I’ve been doing that for weeks already 😆 I’m gucci

this might be the first effective thing that happened in America

Now if MA could do the same. And the rest of the US

Take that a step further, make California stay in California

What about the homeless? Shelter in box on sidewalk? Or something more evil from the mind of Nancy Pelosi...

Needs to happen everywhere

Difficult for the large homeless population.

home is were the heart is

California issues statewide stay-at-home orderCalifornia's governor ordered residents across the state to stay at home except for essential needs or jobs as a way to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus and the illness it causes, COVID-19. Wow It's going to be interesting to see how they enforce it. You know the police aren't going to be rolling through Brentwood or Bel Air arresting wealthy people for violating this order. They're going to go after the poor, in low-income communities. 'Soft targets'. It's amazing that there are people in denial about this, but the Governor's report about the infection rate seems accurate. The spread in other countries gave us an opportunity to prepare, but the issue here is driving the infection rate down.
