Gov. Gavin Newsom will order all beaches and state parks closed Friday

"Gov. Gavin Newsom will order all beaches and state parks closed Friday after tens of thousands of people flocked to the seashore last weekend during a heat wave despite his stay-at-home order, according to a memo sent Wednesday evening to police chiefs around the state."

"Eric Nuñez, president of the California Police Chiefs Association, said it was sent to give chiefs time to plan ahead of Newsom’s expected announcement Thursday."

Meanwhile in San Diego...

"San Diego leaders said Wednesday that the county's stay-at-home order will be extended indefinitely, as they lean on the state for guidance on reopening."

"The county will extend to order on Thursday, according to San Diego County Public Health Officer Dr. Wilma Wooten. In terms of opening up, as you heard from the governor yesterday, any jurisdiction opening up is contingent on the guidance and direction of the governor of California," said Wooten. "So we cannot open back up until the state gives the green light to do so."

I have been staying inside for both MY health and THEIR health. This is the thanks we get? I did notice that the two beaches were in GOP controlled areas of Orange County (Newport Beach and Huntingdon Beach)...it figures. The GOP always ruin it for everyone else.

... with this move. People clearly abused this... the weather got warm and it's possible to go out for walks in public places. It's good, in fact... but those beach-goers were not following guidelines. The national news showed the story - it makes us look bad and sets a bad example.

since I had to charge the battery (it dies when I do not use it). On my way to my mom's house near a beach community I saw this painted on the rear window of a big, black pick-up. "Fun and freedom is how I live, not in fear...go to the beach". I was behind him at a light and gave him the finger and waved my mask with tRump crossed out in red Sharpie at the truck. What an idiotic thing to do. He is asking to be hated, like wearing a "kick ne" sign. I was pissed off for an hour.

Selfish, stupid, irresponsible who can't live as a responsible member of a society can go live on an island someplace and do whatever they want to themselves. I guess they think I am self isolating for the shear fun of it...it' a big party every day! It' for their heath too!!! Self absorbed, thoughtless morons don't deserve to benefit from the rest of us who are sacrificing plenty.
