Once A Model, California Now Struggles To Tame COVID

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ambulances waited hours for openings to offload coronavirus patients. Overflow patients were moved to hospital hallways and gift shops, even a cafeteria. Refrigerated trucks were on standby, ready to store the dead. 

For months, California did many of the right things to avoid a catastrophic surge from the pandemic. But by the time Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Dec. 15 that 5,000 body bags were being distributed, it was clear that the nation’s most populous state had entered a new phase of the COVID-19 crisis.

A model for what, government overreach?
My county here in Tennessee has never had a mask mandate and a good number of businesses ignored the shutdown orders ordered by our RINO governor last year, people continued to gather as they always have, yet our fatality rate is a whopping .0015 percent.

Businesses in California are going under at a rate never seen before, yet the sheeple there continue to submit to even more regulations and restrictions to 'protect' them.
