California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency this week following the state’s first confirmed death from COVID-19. The patient, age 71, had underlying health issues and had recently taken a cruise to Mexico on the Grand Princess.
The cruise ended on February 21st, when the Grand Princess docked in San Francisco to pick up thousands of passengers for a round-trip cruise to Hawaii. The ship is currently anchored off the coast of California, where all passengers and crew present for both cruises are being tested for COVID-19.
The Grand Princess is owned by Carnival, whose ship Diamond Princess was quarantined off the coast of Japan last month after several passengers tested positive for COVID-19.
Florida and Washington State also declared states of emergency this week, a move that will allow officials to expedite the distribution of resources across states if the outbreak becomes severe.
Overall, there have been 150 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States and 11 deaths.
Vice President Mike Pence, who is leading the US outbreak response, said this week that any US resident could be tested for COVID-19 if requested by a doctor.
For uninsured Americans, that could cost as much as $1,000.
Let’s see, California has open boarders and sanctuary cities. The Corona Virus is airborne, along with several other ways of transmission. With no way to people coming in to California, there is not even an inkling of a way to stop the spread of the virus. CALIFORNIA be damned. We need to remove The 9th District court from the rest of the United States. They’ve proven that the 9th district court is a socialist court. Build the wall around California and make its own country.
Governor Newsom is declaring a state of emergency and using the COVID-19 as a means to receive federal assistance to be applied in something other than addressing the health concerns. He has shown in the past that he has no concern for the people of California by allowing illegal immigrations at the states southern borders. The funds if received will be used for political causes.
Is Newsom really Pelosi’s nephew?
The nepotism rules are only for the middle class. The poorest class doesn’t care because they are all on welfare.
Yes although to be technical I believe he is her step-nephew. Nepotism doesn’t enter into it however. Just because they are both politicians defrauding the public, each was elected on their own demerits.
So if you can’t afford insurance and some cannot
You suffer
What’s happed to medicine and putting a life first before money
I’m sorry for people that can’t afford insurance
Keep the illegals out. We don’t need any infected mexicans here.
That is such a prejudiced statement. Mexico is not a hot spot for this virus. It started in China. There are many sick in South Korea and Iran.
Charging an exorbitant amount for this test will give most people cause to simply not do it. How is that helpful? If our states are serious about this disease; the test should be given at no cost for the benefit of public safety. If the disease tuirns into an epidemic, then authorities will want to test everyone eventually.
Tell California to take a hike. They would have plenty of money if they were not giving legal aliens special rights, free food, free healthcare, ]free housing, drivers licenses, voter registration, free school. Free college and aid in staying away from ICE.
SINCE THAT IS THE WAY THEY WANT TO SPEND THEIR MONEY THEY DONT NEED MORE FEDERAL MONEY. STOP BEING GREEDY CALIFORNIA.
I have lived in California all of my 70 years and the State has some really good things about it that everyone loves. But we only had one really great Governor and that was Ronald Reagan. Most Californians are heart broken over what has happened here. And we agree with President Trump to stop the funding. Most of us believe in having a job and getting insurance, washing our hands and environment. And we don’t panic over every scare that comes along. The only Scary thing going on right now is our very far left government and a couple of big cities who are very far left. We should have panicked before we went to the polls and voted for some decency, moderation, and common sense, Pro democracy and pro America. Believe me, some of us are as mad as the rest of you, and will vote accordingly.
I’d say let all them so called acters cover the cost to help California. After all like mad max said they should have more say because the rich acters give so much . Well now here’s their chance to show what their made of . Start taking the homeless and illegals in to your homes to protect them from this danger . Trump doesn’t need to send any money to help you have all the help you need . Iam sure de assho will help he’s rich and this way he can shut trump up right de niro . use your big mouth once for a good cause . Don’t forget them old bitchs on the view to . And the recking ball bitch and every one else that hates trump here’s your chance to prove your self right . Go ahead … we in the rest of the country can wait . Don’t ask Harvey tho he’s playing with his new boyfriend in jail .
What about the third world slums in LA and San Francisco, disease running rampant from rats and filth; and what about the 18,000 deaths in the country from normal flu, the TB infesting areas of Michigan from Muslims — I guess those re no reasons to worry. BUT one health impaired person dies of the conrona virus and the governor declares a state of emergency. People who are healthy may get it and not even know it, as may children, so then what. The sky is falling is just what China wanted by loosing this biological warfare on the world. It appears they tested it on their own people, found out it was too deadly, diluted it and sent it out as one more Chinese export, much to the Democrats delight, so they had one more thing to blame on Trump.
Agreed 100%
Sorry to hear that we have had deaths’ already. How many of the people that went behind our President’s back that traveled with Rep. Chris Murphy to Iran recently, are under home/house quarantine? They were there talking to Iranian leaders when the Coromavirus infected Iranian leaders. SO, have the Congressional people been screened or are they just running around DC infecting others? Heck, these people can work at home just as well as in their offices. The Speaker-of-the House, the leader of the House, should have ordered that the “travelers” be quarantined, OR did have to be ordered by the garbage person to do so?
He’ll they should be quarantined in jail for breaking the Logan Law. It’s amazing that all democrats seem to be given a free pass to do whatever they want without repercussions. Trump makes a call and it’s impeachment. Maybe God will take care of it and make sure they infect all the Democratic Party. He’s one of the worst senators alongside the squad. Spread the love Chris!
That’s what you dumbasses get for letting them get off. Trump told you not to let them off but you didn’t listen as usual. I think the democrats actually want the coronavirus to do damage here. They want the economy taking a hit because they don’t want Trump running on a strong economy. Awful good timing isn’t it? Remember Bill Gates is a Democrat and a part owner of the lab where the virus was manufactured. I’m sure a vaccine will be made and the democrats will take credit for saving the day. They’re the ones causing panic across America. It’s like the flu and every year that kills thousands but we don’t think about it. As usual the elderly and those with respiratory problems are at most risk. Have common sense and remain logical and you should be ok. Don’t fall for the hysteria!
He just wants money, ……..
That is such a prejudiced statement. Mexico is not a hot spot for this virus. It started in China. There are many sick in South Korea and Iran.
We are calling a state of emergency over a 71 year old man, who may or may not had the virus. But yet pooping in the streets of cities is acceptable and normal. What will be next, taking all guns to stop the virus or giving free everything to stop the spread of the virus. Lets all get safe spaces and color, and it will go away.
California declares a State of Emergency, wow, who could predict that! Where is their heroine, Nancy Pelosi? Why is she not fighting for them? No, she has a greater concern, taking down President Trump! The citizens/constituents of California and her her own district are not as important as that one hate filled act. Good old Newsom, who did not want to have anything to do with Trump or his administration, now begging for federal help. Why, because the democratic leadership in control of California failed it miserably by allowing illegal aliens to openly enter the state so the dems could have their votes. Newsom may think he is in control of his state but that apparently is not true. California dems, and all dems, is this what you really want? Look at what dem leadership has done to your once great state. Walk away dems, I did so many years ago and do not regret my decision to do so. Walk away, and by doing so, send a message to your dem leadership that you will no longer support their socialist ideals!!! If we have an outbreak of the Corona Virus in the US, it is not due to President Trump but your democratic leadership and the choices they have made and are making now.
It is simply amazing. One (1) death from Covid-19 and the governor declares a state of emergency. “As of 5 January 2019, California alone has reported 42 deaths linked to the flu”. So 42 deaths, including at least one child of 4 years of age is NOT an emergency but 1 death from the newest attack from Red China is. Interesting logic Democrats display.
