Yeah, it’s the underlings who are suffering. Not good to be underling.

There have been 63 new deaths since Gavin Newsom, driven by an impending recall, lifted the stay-at-home order on January 25th. That’s a 23.6% increase in deaths in a mere 11 days. Many of these deaths were associated with outbreaks in congregate living facilities. Gavin suddenly abandoned all that “science” he was preaching in order to save his own behind. Gavin clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing, and he never has. Gavin has blood on his hands and he must go, immediately.
LETMEGO, so you’re pointing out that these people caught COVID while the SoCal region was under Gavin’s lockdown, and I don’t disagree. His lockdown didn’t work. These poor individuals subsequently died towards the end of the lockdown or shortly after it was lifted. The point is that despite Gavin sounding the all clear, we are see a record number of deaths in a short time period, a clear indication of his complete failure at managing this crisis. A slow rollout of vaccines, which could have saved these poor people, and an apparent uninterest in implementing serious oversight on our nursing homes, when we know those are the most vulnerable people.
Thanks. I believe I understand how you’re teasing out the deaths, but it seems like too much trouble to keep going over the past weeks to check for daily updates. Plus with the errors that you and I have encountered in some of these numbers, I have enough of a headache keeping the records straight. Reported date seems good enough to an approximation for the purposes of mortality rate, which is what I’ve been focusing on.
You’re deliberately ignoring the lag time between infection and death to suit your political agenda. Paltering is so juvenile.
like those that post under an anonymous handle on a comment board that is already anonymous?
Chem has never pushed a political agenda here and Gavin’s completely failure in leadership through this pandemic is irrefutable regardless of your political affiliation.
Yes, quite true and thank you for pointing that out. I should have written “63 new reported deaths” to make that distinction. I’ve never delved deeper into the deaths other than the reported cases, so how are you getting the breakdown on when they actually died? I looked at the Dashboard but I may just be tired because I’m not really seeing those numbers. Thanks.
