The rates of new COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and intensive care unit admissions were all trending downward in California in the latest counts, the governor said on Monday.

Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said that despite that good news, the state’s Central Valley agricultural region was still being hit hard by the coronavirus. He said the data had yet to reach a point for lifting pandemic restrictions.

“This virus is not going away,” Newsom said at a daily coronavirus briefing. “It’s not going to take Labor Day weekend off or Halloween off or the holidays off. Until we have a vaccine we are going to be living with this virus.” California, the country’s most populous state with some 40 million residents, has recorded a total of 514,901 confirmed COVID-19 infections and 9,388 deaths, according to the governor’s office.

The state’s seven-day average of infections has dropped more than 21 percent, compared to the previous period, Newsom said, and hospitalizations are down 10 percent in a 14-day average. California has administered more than 8 million tests for COVID-19, and the rate of positive results has declined to seven percent over the last 14 days, compared to 7.5 percent in the previous two weeks.

My uncle is a Brit who lives in the SF Bay Area and he kept telling me how the U.K. will be the worse off but now we are opening and we slowly just pause when the cases rise then continue and only need face coverings in shops and not in public streets and parks

So are Sweden’s.

Is that why he released 8,000 prisoners?

Except the Central Valley.

Are they eating in an exhaust-filled parking garage? WTF is wrong with these people...

Gyms need to reopen. They are part of the solution.

Free California! Remove and arrest dictator Newsom

That's... a lie.
