When the coronavirus came to the U.S. from Wuhan, China, the immediate objective for the entire country was to “flatten the curve†– stay home if you weren’t an essential worker, so as not to overwhelm the health care system from the scourge of what became known as COVID-19.
Then, instead of flattening the curve with social distancing, California Governor Gavin Newsom moved the goalposts, vowing that all of California will open together – holding hostage residents who may live in areas without a huge COVID death rate.
This week Newsom moved the goalposts again, announcing that in order to move forward with reopening, each of California’s 58 counties must comply with his latest edicts on coronavirus deaths, cases and testing.
