New stay-at-home orders could be coming to areas of California where COVID-19 is spreading out of control and threatening capacity in hospitals’ intensive care units, Gov. Gavin Newsom warned Monday. Over the weekend, California reported the highest number of coronavirus hospitalizations since the onset of the pandemic. New case numbers continue to top those seen during the state's summer surge, with a seven-day average of 14,657 daily cases. According to Newsom, the state’s previous case numbers peaked in July with a seven-day average of 9,881. "If these trends continue, we're going to have to take much more dramatic, arguably drastic

Still, no mention anywhere of the fact only two Californians under the age of 18 have died from the virus.

It's a virus! A virus doesn't respect a mask, nor the dictates of petty criminal dictators.

California would be a 1000% better off if they put their government in permanent lockdown with masks, appropriate for thieves. We keep getting assertions about hospitals being full, but we never hear the hospitals saying anything about it. All we get is propaganda. Ca. has become like Venezuela. There are no real elections there. The Democrats now control the votes. Ca. has become communist.

Hi Cali !!! What you gonna do when everybody has had the big V and nobody is sick any more. The GUV will tell you to stay home and keep your mask on because you have to "flatten the curve" for the NEXT pandemic.

Want some facts instead of propaganda? California hospitals are right now at 58% capacity. It's up a little because it's ALWAYS up a little in the winter. There is no shortage of beds. There isn't going to be. This is all political. I am so sick of this.

pssst...they're taking Rona cases from Mexico to keep the fake "case" numbers going up.
Remember when the "death count" was the thing? Death counts leveled off last May,

After issuing the new order, Gov. Nuisance will celebrate by taking 20 friends to the French Laundry for dinner.

Next they will lay off a bunch of medical staff and then shriek that hospital workers are tired and pushed to their limits by China virus cases.

Bull$#it. I’ve been tracking CA’s COVID numbers from the start. Per their own reporting from yesterday, CA has 2000 available ICU beds.
Check it out for yourself: COVID-19.ca.gov/state-dashboard/

Nurses I know say the hospitals are not full. I think this is very misleading. So if a hospital has 20 ICU beds and 4 are covid is that capacity.
I trust nothing the media tells us. There are broad big statements with nothing to back it up , no actual details. Not to mention they NEVER say 98.9% of all people recover. That is really dishonest. Such fear mongering.

Hospitals are a business - they want to be as full as possible. Are they short staffed? Blame the bean counters at the hospital, who want the most out of their staff with no one sitting around without something to do.

There are people in California who poop and pee in the street. Could that be a factor in the number of Kung Flu cases? Even if those mentally ill people wear a mask, the streets should not be used as toilets.

So, my brother in-law works at a hospital, and they have allocated a whole section of their hospital for COVID patients, but only have 1 case, at this time. A sister hospital is near capacity, but it's mostly homeless persons, whom some will be transferred soon to the hospital with only the 1 patient.
California publishes statistics, and many are different. One county uses "total tested", others another actual positive, then there are statistics that show a 14-day average. In other words, data to confuse.
And, no one reports that nearly 99.5% recover, and most of those within 10-14 days. The news people still report the total number of cases since the pandemic began, as though that many people are still actively infected.
The sad news, in California 59% of the cases are Latino, and 49% of the deaths are Latino.
Whites are 19% of the cases, 30% of the deaths.
Asian-Americans are 6% of the cases, and 11.6% of the deaths
African-American are 4% of the cases, and 7% of the deaths.
By Age:
0-17 are 11% of the cases, and only 2 deaths total out of 135,365 cases
18-49 are 60% of the cases (722,382) and 7% of the deaths (1,377)
50-64 are 19% of the cases (227,953) and 19% of the deaths (3,678)
65+ are 10 of the cases (126,255) and 74% of the deaths (14,162)
People would more likely be more responsible, if they were provided proper data and information.
Frightening people is not helpful, and I predict a massive backlash once people start to hear more data in the coming months.

If COVID is getting worse then it means masks and distancing does not work.

I'd really like to get an investigative team in there, but I bet, if you got in, you find out where all the homeless went.

California is a very large, varied state. That is reflected in Covid numbers as well. This would be one of his biggest mistakes, and he’s made some doozies. The final nail in his political life’s coffin.

It never occurs to these people that they just spent months in lockdown, wearing masks and keeping six feet apart and NONE OF THAT WORKED! So naturally they are going to do more of the same only a whole lot harder.

Lockdowns are as medically primitive as leeching and a whole lot more harmful. Masks are hopelessly naive, as the ones used by most citizens allow the unfettered entry and exit of any organism smaller than eight microns, and the virus is two microns. And because the virus is airborne up to a distance of 30 meters, social distancing of six feet is meaningless. But all of this is great if you want to kill the economy and regulate scarcity.

Are the Cali hospitals actually getting filled up with Wuhan patients, or is this more smoke and lies?

Like all of these restrictions worked so well in the past, so let's do them again. This is the same kind of mindset of inner city demosluts. Keep voting the same way in every election hoping for a different result or outcome each time only to find out nothing has changed.

Today they talked about the COVID increase in Mexico. How many are crossing into CA or have relatives going back and forth ?

How about recalling Newsom. That would be a better solution for California. This fool brings nothing to the fight.
