Hmmmm. More Falun Gong news sources. You really are clueless about how to find unbiased sources.

Or, you actively seek sources that affirm your far Right ideology. Yeah - that's more likely.

This article may provide a clue as to what's going on:

https://www.kqed.org/news/11856356/california-considers-prioritizing-speed-over-equity-in-vaccine-distribution-plan

Looks like too much concern about people "cutting" in line and who should get it first, rather than just prioritizing speed. My feeling is who gives a s*** if some people cut in line; every vaccinated person is a net benefit, and there will be more doses coming. Just get them out quickly.

Absolutely.

When I hear about "appointments", I hope these are "mass appointments" and not individual appointments, because if they are individual, we're dooming ourselves to slow-going right there.

Look, if we were getting shipped enough vaccine (doubtful) and wanted to REALLY simplify things, just do this: Not much going on at airports these days, right? The vaccine comes in on a plane, gets unloaded to a nearby area where it is prepared to dose, then goes to another nearby area where people are waiting, with their sleeves rolled up. (They have just passed through a "documentation station" where it is recorded that they are getting vaccinated.) Commandeer the little airfields, too (Concord, Hayward, Half Moon Bay, etc.)

How many steps did that just save, especially with a vaccine that requires careful shipment with special cold storage?

This country can't get s*** done anymore.

Newsom cancels Covid stay at home orders. Localities still have power to enforce different restrictions locally.

He actually said: ". We can see real light ar the end of the tunnel, " a statement which would cause anyone of a certain age and time to laugh out loud.

My most left-leaning friends are upset about this, claim it will cause more deaths. It does, however, kind of disprove the idea that Newsom was performing a fascist takeover of our state government as the most right-leaning folks on this board would like to claim.

Personally, I'm not sure if it's the right call. I mean, eventually it would have to happen for sure. We seem to be past the peak of the winter surge, and numbers should start to come down now that the vaccine is being distributed and the weather will start to get warmer. But the numbers are still quite high when compared to the previous high, so it might be too early.

Of course, counties can also maintain restrictions as they see fit, so maybe it's not that big a deal.

sy, it's much less complicated than all that. He's got 1.2 million reasons to carefully review the situation LOL.

---

I don't know he's worried about being recalled- 1.2 million is a pretty low bar. I think he's given up. First of all he lost whatever moral leadership he had with the French Laundry escapade. Secondly in a capitalist society with no social nets and no social solidarity you can't forcibly separate people from capital- e.g. stay at home and be ruined; go out and work and die. The people most in favor of lockdowns are the ones that never go out because they can work at home and all is the same. They just make moral pronouncements.

One of the issues Newsom has is that he is viewed as an inauthentic politician. I personally like him and that he just made a stupid mistake but someone who comes across as even more inauthentic promoting him is not helping his cause. No one who is going against Newsom was doing so because they were uncertain where Warren stood on the recall efforts.

Hello-----I'm Liz Warren and I'm a Cherokee Indian....Well...maybe not, but, I would like to be. Hey...it was an honest mistake....my great-grandfather had high cheekbones.....Anybody could have made that mistake. And, according to my private DNBA lab, I am a direct descendant from the Virgin Mary. The proof is that I wear a lot of pale blue dresses with a white top. Recall aside, Gavin is toast politically. Every Guv aspires to be President some day. He is now radioactive. Ditto Andrew. I want Andrew to hang around. The longer he hangs one, the greater embarrassment to both the Demo party and the MSM which promoted him favorably while thge Orange man was president. he was the perfect foil. Now he is no longer needed...hang on Andy baby..hang on......
