It's almost as if he likes it like this.
California's Gov. Gavin Newsom vows to make the coronavirus emergency measures in California its "new normal" unless --- and it's a big if --- a vaccine for the virus is ready. (snip) President Trump has stated that a vaccine may be in place by the end of the year and the press has screamed that the president's projection is overly optimistic.
(snip) Newsom, remember, is the guy who first stated that the coronavirus was an opportunity to fundamentally transform the state.

This won’t last. He is looking very stressed these days. Disheveled. Something wrong with his voice. War nerves?
Every day there are rolling changes in his edicts - backpedaling, modification, downsizing.
In over his head.

The new normal will be when Newsome and all the rest of the democrats screwing this state are voted out of office.

Curtain is coming down. If this was the stated end of the lockdowns, no-one would have put up with them in the first place. This is a completely non-sensical position.

This way Newsom can rule by edict for the duration of his term.

The original objective was to flatten the curve, and not overwhelm the hospital system.
Then, was to ensure they could procure enough PPE (personal protection equipment - gloves, masks, gowns). That has essentially been done, and they know there was going to be more infections after that, but now seem to really enjoy their new powers which now looks more like a political ploy to fundamentally change things.
As a side note:
Newsom ordered 300 million masks weeks ago, at $1 billion cost using a Chinese firm, BYD, an electric vehicle manufacturer - ostensibly due to their connections to get the job done. And was touted as the governor using the "clout" of the States size to get a good deal. The cost of each mask is $3.30 each (normally closer to $0.30 each), but they have not arrived still, and it's likely the original manufacturer was not on the updated approved list by China, thus, unable to be cleared by China customs for export to California.
About 750,000 masks fit into a standard 40' container, to give an idea of the volume of containers that would be needed, and have not shipped yet, it seems. They could be trying to ship by air, but that is nearly $18/kilo, at this time.
A vaccine is not expected until September, at the earliest.

First it was to flatten the curve. Now the goalposts have been moved again and it now is until a vaccine has been developed and we can assure zero Wuhan virus deaths. See how neatly the slide into tyranny has been orchestrated?

Y’all miss the leadership and quality of life that Republican governors and legislators USED to provide? Well dump the illegals and vote R.

What this prissy clown is doing is sentencing Californians to lockdown for a year and possibly more. Can anybody be that stupid? Can he expect Americans from sane states to bail him out and protect him from the rioting and mayhem? His days are numbered and no, that is not a threat, it's an accurate prediction.

You are SO screwed.
You knew that long before I did but you kept on voting to keep on getting screwed.

Just trying to insure that we're in a deep Depression by November so the Left thinks they'll sweep into permanent power in all but the SCOTUS (which they think they will then be able to pack.)
Lordy, do I hate democrats!!

Actually, this has interesting possibilities. Using his reasoning...dangerous pathogen, high mortality rate, continuing case rate, and no vaccine in sight...this would work nicely to quarantine a very clearly defined at-risk group for HIV/AIDS, namely gay men. Would probably lock down all of the NYT and all the networks, plus a good portion of blue state government leaders and deep staters. But, you know, if it only saves one life...

Newsom needs to go to work cleaning up the forests before the next high winds and fires burn up the place.
Then the guy blames PG&E and make the people that do not live in Cali pay the bill.
PG&E customers in other states had their power bill go up for this clown.

The Leftist Governor of Illinois is not much different from Newsome. And Lori Lightfoot, Mayor of Chicago, has become a Nazi when it comes to demanding control of her constituents.
People in Illinois -- and in Chicago particularly -- aren't going to put up with this until Christmas. As a fellow Illinoisan friend told me yesterday, "I have a life to live. I don't have that many years left. I'm not elderly, but I do want to enjoy the time I do have. I can't take this." And she's fortunate enough (as am I) to have a job. I can't imagine what the jobless folks are going through.

Summer lasts 6 months in CA. I cannot imagine residents sitting in their homes for that long while beaches and ocean waves beckon. The Rodney King riots will look like a Sunday picnic in comparison to the blowback.

Because his buddies will make lots of money on the vaccine. They can't make enough money with the current malaria drug.

He followed it up by saying the Gay bars would stay closed until they had a vaccine for HIV. Oh wait . . .

There are a lot of liberal voters in Kali that are being hurt by this little dictator, and may vote against him. If Kali, Illinois, New York and New Jersey remain blue after this, it won't hurt PDT, because they are lib stong holds.

California is a vote by mail state. This is how you get a dem controlled state with a legislative super majority. Judicial Watch is suing counties to clean up their rolls with more registered voters than eligible voters. Mail in ballots can easily “get lost” if they aren’t pro-dem ballots. We are totally screwed and the corrupt system is now locked in. If I could move out, I would.
