Instead, he said California would provide up to two take-home coronavirus test kits for each of the state’s more than 6.1 million public school students while also expanding hours at the 6,288 state-run testing centers.“Hopefully we won’t have to consider that if all of our interventions are successful,” Newsom said.
Much about the omicron coronavirus variant remains unknown, including whether it causes more or less severe illness. Scientists say omicron spreads even easier than other coronavirus strains, including delta. Early studies suggest the vaccinated will need a booster shot for the best chance at preventing an omicron infection but even without the extra dose, vaccination still should offer strong protection against severe illness and death.
Barbara Ferrer, the county’s public health director, said officials are not considering any booster requirements beyond the state’s new rules for health care workers. More than 2 million residents in Los Angeles County who are over the age of 5 remain unvaccinated. And 62% of residents who are eligible to receive a booster shot have not done so.“We need to increase that number if we’re going to hold the line and decrease the growth for hospitals,” Newsom said.

We have now crossed a threshold in which the government now attempts to take control of your body! The jab is just the Beginning as they threaten to take away your ability to work, and to feed your family, unless you are jabbed! Resist this violation of your rights!
What a stupid idea! Why pick on the folks we need the most in the middle of a so called pandemic! Unless we aren’t in a emergency at all and this is about power and control and greed as the big pharma stocks go higher and higher.
California
