On the heels of New York Governor Kathy Hoshul’s indoor mask order, Gov. Gavin Newsom just imposed yet another mask mandate on all of California.
Oregon Governor Kate Brown recently imposed a statewide mask mandate and is preparing to make it permanent. Masks forever.
It’s hard not to wonder if these blue state governors are trying to outdo each other.
Former Director of National Intelligence and Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell replied on Twitter: “I want to see Hollywood and the elites comply with @GavinNewsom’s mask mandate. This means TV talk shows, movie sets, professional sports teams, performers and local news anchors all must wear masks first.”
Given that Gov. Newsom recently extended California’s State of Emergency because “COVID,” and then promptly took a vacation to Mexico, and then went on a book tour to promote his new children’s book. He stopped by a few talk shows: “He went on the View, the Daily Show, and the Late Late Show in what might have been called a Tour de Lies,” Assemblyman Kevin Kiley said.
Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said the mask mandate will be effective Wednesday Dec. 15, and remain in effect until Jan. 15. Why Wednesday? Why not immediately if there is such an urgency?
“We are proactively putting this tool of universal indoor masking in public settings in place to ensure we get through a time of joy and hope without a darker cloud of concern and despair,” Ghaly said. “Californians have done this before, and we, of course, believe we can do it again.”
Ghaly says “Since Thanksgiving, the statewide seven-day average case rate has increased by 47% and hospitalizations have increased by 14%.”
I was recently at Sutter General Hospital in Sacramento and there was one COVID patient being treated at the gigantic hospital.
“This new measure brings an added layer of mitigation as the Omicron variant, a Variant of Concern as labeled by the World Health Organization, is detected across California, the United States, and the world and is likely to spread more easily than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and the Delta variant,” Ghaly said.
Current stats on California’s COVID Dashboard report:
0.1 new deaths (per 100K)
And testing in the Past 8 weeks = 2.2% test positivity.
No worries. It’s just temporary; we’re all in this together.

I WILL NOT COMPLY...Fingers crossed the 30 million illegals the cops refuse to deport are sick of Newsom too..
What do Mark Ghaly and Barbie have in common? "Math class is tough."
But, I think Barbie was smarter.
Here is the weekly case data (by age group): https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/COVID-19-Cases-by-Age-Group.aspx
There is no 47%.
Smash and Grab people will love this and I am sure they will be happy to comply.
As Katy mentioned, if it's such an emergency why would Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly wait until Wednesday? Knowledgeable people know that masks are totally ineffective against small virus particles and that the evil Democrat cabal are reimposing their silly mask mandates to control the masses. Do not comply!
Because it's political theater probably related to the upcoming midterm elections. We are stuck with Newsom for another 6 years.
California was given enough Federal money to build and staff dozens of new hospitals.
We should never want for hospital beds ever again, but Newsom pissed it all away a few hundred dollars at a time by giving it to people who didn't need it and never earned it.
I don't want to hear guys who suck at their jobs, like Newsom and Dr. Mark Ghaly whine about the hospitals being full. Failure to think ahead on their part does not make for an emergency on mine.
Masks only serve to show servitude, damage your immune system, deprive your brain of oxygen. Crimes against humanity and children, but they already knew that, and will be held to account. Nuremberg 2.0 has begun.
This is over when people do not comply. Even Democrat Gov. Poulis, Colorado, has ended all mandates (which are not laws), because he knows the 2-weeks to flatten the curve dog and pony show is over.
Katy Grimes, you really need to put a sock in it!
Gov Newsom is doing the right thing. Just as predicted, the winter surge of Covid is underway.
Cases in CA are at their highest in many months. Its only going to get worse.
The governor needs to go further. A statewide lockdown and stay-at-home order is needed.
I have already suggested this to the governor.
Here's the link to the gov website for sending a message: https://www.gov.ca.gov/
W16521 needs to wear at least 3 masks at all times, keep 6 feet or more distance from others at all times, get weekly vaccine boosters, and cower in a safe place until Gavin Newsom and the Democrat cabal give further dictates on what to do next.
Why don't you shut up..!! You're a perfect example of the term sheeple..!!
It is about control and your coke snorting Governor is demanding people to bow down to him and worship him.
I've had Covid, two shots, and an antibody test that is thru the roof.
All Gruesome Newscum wants is sheeple like you to suck up to him.
Screw him! Don’t comply! W16521 shut your dumb ass up! You pet Troll.
W16521, is Governor Climate Change and the rest of the lefty Democraptic pukes in this state going to wear masks? You know the Democraptic pukes like London Breed, Nancy "Stretch" Pelosi, Sam Liccardo, Diane Feinstein, and especially Governor Climate Change. Are they going to maybe hang out together at the French Laundry and "get caught in the vibe of the moment" maskless and giving us the finger while violating their own rules? Just make sure you wear your mask ESPECIALLY when you are in your car driving by yourself! Governor Climate Change needs to look at states like Florida and Texas where they don't have mask and vaccination mandates and the covid rates are much lower than California. Also the Omikron or whatever they are calling the latest version this week has not killed anyone. The doctor in South Africa who discovered it last month has publicly stated that no one there has died from it or has been hospitalized from it.
This political...no science behind it. Flimsy paper masks do nothing to stop the spread of a virus. But you keep pushing the hype for the gov.
How is it that you have learned nothing in the last two years? Seriously is it really possible at this point to still be this gullible and misinformed?
Check out this Fauci video stating that getting the COVID shot could cause you to get COVID.

Is he lying, Globe Troll..???
@w16521
You still don't understand that "cases" are meaningless?? Hospitalizations and deaths are the only numbers that matter and even those are being skewed because some of those people are people who were tested while in the hospital for something completely unrelated...
South African doctors told the world that Omicron (anagram for Moronic) symptoms are VERY MILD but that is being ignored because this plandemic was always about control and not public health...
NOPE, Dictator Newsom doesn't have a leg to stand on and we're done. No one who has any sense is taking this B.S. seriously anymore and people who aren't yet brain-dead have not been on board with his lies since April of 2020. Really, before that, going back to January 2019, "pre-pandemic." As has been repeatedly shown on this site, over the past almost TWO YEARS, this nonsense he and his groupies push isn't science (and they know it). What's more, any virologist or epidemiologist worth anything who hasn't been frightened to death or brainwashed will tell you that we've known for a L-O-N-G time that when viruses mutate they WEAKEN. And so it is with this latest scare-variant and we should not submit to the constant fear porn.
Stuff it Hair Gel. Masks are for slaves, not free people.
Only one month? Seems like I have heard that one before.
Wanna take bets on how many months it will actually end up lasting?
Has it ever ended??
It only ends when we refuse to wear them. I have been entering stores without one.. I get looks but have not been stopped.
