The statewide order, imposed Dec. 6, was based on regional numbers, such as intensive care unit capacity, and included the San Joaquin Valley, Bay Area and Southern California. Four-week ICU capacity projections for these three regions are above 15%, the threshold that allows regions to exit the order, state health officials said Monday.

The Sacramento Region left the order on Jan. 12 and the Northern California region was never under the statewide order.

Didn't see you on here on January 12th, discussing how this was obviously a move geared towards helping Mr Trump get some positive headlines in the run up to his impeachment trial.

 

Prediction: Covid-19 will end sometime under the Biden administration.  

Correlation and Causation are not the same thing.  I am sure there is probably some issue you could tie to the inauguration and decreased Covid regulation, but at the end of the day we should be hoping to move towards some solution and the world is going to keep changing regardless.

Or that he killed 70K jobs nationwide and has also damaged our energy independence by hurting the keystone pipeline. Oh wait, makes sense, they are all in bed together.

I heard he created 700k jobs and helped our energy independence by taking our federal motor vehicle fleet off gasoline!  So that puts him 630k jobs ahead.  On hearsay, of course.

Not just California but many Democrat states are re-opening.

This pandemic has always been one big political plan to tank the economy and blame the Orange man bad.

I have said this multiple times but many people on this forum continued to support the Democrats and the lockdowns.

Now they have been exposed. The lockdowns have always been political and the Democrats have finessed you all.

Congrats on sacrificing your freedom for safety. 

 

Your ancestors fought for your freedoms and won. You have been taught by the liberals to revile your ancestors while they take over the institutions and take away your freedoms. Their plan is complete. If you want your freedoms back, the liberals have to go.

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

I don’t see the ancestor thing that way. The ancestors they vilify are those who fought against the United States, which includes the Confederacy. Germans don’t celebrate the Nazi party or Nazi generals. Chinese don’t celebrate the Japanese generals of WWII. Most Eastern European countries don’t celebrate Stalin. It’s not just an American idea to not celebrate those who have been enemies of the free world.

Edit: I’m sure you’ll easily be able to find super far left people who think anyone who has ever served for the US is evil etc. I don’t count those. I think the mainstream idea is to respect our veterans of wars, but not hold the Confederate veterans in high regard.

This doesn't apply to black people, at all.  I mean, even taking into account the numerous fallacies here (how many people in this country can legitimately trace their ancestry back to someone here prior to 1776?  And how can they prove they weren't Tories?), "our ancestors" fought for the "freedoms" of a small number of property owning wealthy folks.  The fact that this tended to benefit others may have played a role, but we don't need to lionize people for things they didn't necessarily believe or do.  Even at the time, the Founding Fathers of the United States understood the massive contradiction that they fought for a society that had the right to enslave human beings.

 

Spot on. Unfortunately people like @Ozymandia will continue to display impressive feats of mental gymnastics to deny this reality. 

Lol.  The "reality" is that California's "statewide" ban had been lifted well before Mr Biden took office, which destroys the entire "implication" of this thread topic.

You seem to live in a world in which whatever conspiracy you believe in the moment, is real, and all facts must twist around that.  I'm not sure what mental gymnastics I'm doing - unless you think that liberals are advocating for a permanent closure of certain businesses until the sun burns out, there had to be an end to it some time.  I'm not familiar with the reasoning of anyone except my own Governor (Cuomo), so I can't speak to what Gov Newsom is thinking, but the facts and the timeline make it pretty clear that the decisions being made have little to do with who is in office.  Things shut down while Biden was President Elect (nominally, obviously Mr Trump's armed coup attempt and his attempt at fraud in Georgia threw that into minor doubt), things reopened while Biden was President Elect.  Some things reopened when he took office.  Some things re-opened when Mr Trump was President.  The only pattern to be deduced here is that politicians made decisions in the moment, based on current conditions.  Take NY - literally nothing has changed since mid-December.  Mr Cuomo just announced things won't change in the near future. 

Amazing that you can allege a conspiracy so advanced, so deep, so penetrating, playing such a game of five dimensional chess, that they haven't even gotten around to implementing it.

 

Don’t forget the other intended effects: record levels of wealth inequality and violent crime! My deep blue city alone had a 40% (not a typo) increase in homicides and, with approximately a month of data in, is up 10% over that. Now we get to see President Biden fix this own party’s self-created mess and be hailed as a hero for saving America from bad orange man. It’s 100% transparent and the masses will eat it up. I’d be impressed how effectively it was carried out if it weren’t so vile.

California has been open since before Trump left office.  I'm not sure what point you're making.  Northern California is a hot bed of Trump support and so refused to go along with the Govenor's plan, I take it?  But Southern California isn't?

This pandemic has always been one big political plan to tank the economy and blame the Orange man bad.

Of course!  Those 425,000 dead people were actually already dead and us nasty liberals just counted them as COVID deaths, and then we went and registered them to vote!  Beep boop, you caught us.

I have said this multiple times but many people on this forum continued to support the Democrats and the lockdowns.

I didn't see those posts!  If I had, of course that kind of "affidavit" would have been definitive in changing my mind, just like all those affidavits about the stolen election changed all those judges and jury's minds.

Now they have been exposed. The lockdowns have always been political and the Democrats have finessed you all.

Congrats on sacrificing your freedom for safety. 

Yes, all my freedoms are gone.  Which were those?  I want to approach this like a conservative would approach a given issue.  I am not a restauranteur, nor an employee of a food-service business, so... the government didn't do anything out of the ordinary when it comes to me.  After all, I wasn't complaining about bars not being open at 5am a year ago, so clearly gov't has some right to dictate operating hours.  And if it doesn't impact me, it's not a real issue!  Just like institutional bigotry, police brutality, poverty, etc.

So what happens when cases and deaths keep increasing, especially as lockdowns are reversed?

Hopefully, what any intelligent person would do - change course based on changing data.

 

It was nakedly political as soon as the CDC told us 99.9% of the working populace survives getting COVID...

check your numbers

The summary table literally from the CDC:

CDC COVID-19 Survival Rates

  • Age 0-19 — 99.997% (children)
  • Age 20-49 — 99.98% (young-mid working age)
  • Age 50-69 — 99.5% (mid-late working age)
  • Age 70+ — 94.6% (retirement/working for fun or you managed finances poorly and still work)

We had these numbers back in September, and similarly positive but not as concrete numbers as early as July/August.

The most telling part about all of this and the "trust the science" people is that California's Covid ICU beds is double as when the they shutdown outdoor dining. This was back in late November / early December.

Source: https://www.latimes.com/projects/california-coronavirus-cases-tracking-…

It is possible to look forward, or to use current data to predict future trends.  For example:

Newsom, at the news conference, said the state’s decision was based on the case numbers and factors including declining hospitalization and test positivity rates, which has led to projections that intensive-care availability will improve. In Southern California, where the surge in cases effectively filled ICUs, capacity is now expected to be 33% in four weeks. The state is now averaging 30,300 new cases per day over a 14-day period, down from more than 40,000 in late December.

Moreover, all of this ignores the fact that there is a difference between where we are now and where we were 8 weeks ago - we have a functioning vaccine.  Which is getting to the most at-risk populations at a reasonable rate.
