California Gov. Gavin Newsom outlined a framework for reopening the economy in the Golden State Monday, warning in a gentle rebuke to President Donald Trump that the state's coronavirus protocols would be guided by"science and public health, not politics" and telling residents that they will enter a radically different environment in their daily interactions.
The Democrat did not give a date that the current state-at-home order would end. It currently extends through May 3 statewide, and longer in places like Los Angeles, which has a stay-at-home in effect until May 15. Instead local governments, he said, would be determinative, but he declined to respond to Trump's assertion that the President alone has total authority to decide when the country will reopen."There is no light switch here, it's more like a dimmer," Newsom said.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo: We have a constitution, not a king 02:42A similar group is in the works on the East Coast. Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said his state, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Rhode Island and Massachusetts each plan to name a public health and economic official to a regional working group. The chief of staff of the governor of each state also will be a part of the group, which will begin work immediately to design a reopening plan.
Why Trump doesn't control when the US closes or reopens 01:33But California's physical distancing measures have been a success and hailed by public health officials nationally. At least 724 people had died in California as of Monday, but the state's peak day in terms of coronavirus fatalities came on April 8, when 66 people died. Numbers have been slightly lower each day since then: 48 coronavirus-related deaths were reported on Monday.
Would be nice if he treated more policy this way, but good ol Gavvy doesn’t work that way.
An example on how to govern. Gentle warning. Because it's not hard to know how to deal with this man. Don't hurt his fragile little ego. That's really it.
California can stay shut down forever, as far as Floridians are concerned.
Gavin Neutered is an ass goblin.
Wise decision may Jehovah's holy spirit be with this governed
The whole idea is to reopen safely and gradually, as long as you open..
Which is funny because Republican's keep pretending they don't want this to be made political but THEY'RE the ones forcing it to be that way
早该如此，科学防疫才有希望少些感染，再政治就死10万人真打不着啦！
Seek Jesus present first oo
dems reopen，it is science！ trump reopen，it is politics！CNN！
So basically he'll kill my mom over and over and over and over and over (5 times) and over again
Nothing like collecting revenue twice in a tax year but only reporting once. Kinda like minority report.
Not sure “gentle” is a tactic to use with Trumpmeeeeeee.
Why don't you open up the gentleman club so that I can get a lapdance
Hows it hanging down there
So Governor GavinNewsom, Unlock Federal Assistance for Independent Contractors, please! I need to put some food in my family’s table! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You go Gov. GavinNewsom!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 sure!
Whatever
Let me know how that works out for California! CNN will look like fools as usual when this fails miserably
Before we re-open... anything why don’t we address & deal with the small businesses that still have not received any relief or funding to help out with what has taken place in the past month and a half. No income.. all debt. covid19
GavinNewsom didn’t say when we were going to be freed from home arrest! He gave no useful information today....zip
its funny how the state of california pays less for unemployment than the federal government is right now with CARES. i guess thats why they figure they can just keep everything closed? todays press conference was a publicity stunt. no new information. no timeline.
While I voted for him, he needs to get CA out of 1996 and update websites/processes. We ARE a gig economy despite what the idiot AB5 author stays. We need fast help, competent people and a damn website that works. EDD is a mess. While the 90s were great, we can't go back.
The man is an idiot. The dolt will extend it out, tank the economy and then increase taxes to fill the coffers.
Gavin is ALWAYS guided by politics.
👏🏻
Yessssssssssss
Good for you. I can only hope & pray our Governor here in Fl, does the same.
Think he should be telling Nancy and Chuck that!
See how long constituents accept that when $600 unemployment kicker runs out. Only getting $400 a week will change ppl's minds pretty quickly..

Once the horn is blown, 'YOU' can stay home....the govt will pay your bills...not.
What's your headache?
The economy of USA is predominantly in the hands of Blue states. The governers of these state will open the economy when they feel it is safe. Not Ilwhen Trump asks them to open.
Good
It’s nice hearing from an intelligent and thoughtful leader. So glad to be a Californian.
Lmfao a Demorat saying “not by politics.”
Trump has everyone he’s in contact with on a reg basis constantly tested for covid. Everyone else in his orbit has to have their temp taken before being in the same room. Yet Trump wants to reopen everything and send millions of Americans out unprotected before mass testing?
