“This is a deadly disease, a deadly pandemic, and we’re in the middle of it right now,” Newsom said. “We’re near the end, but we’re in the middle of the most acute peak as it relates to what we refer to as the third wave — the third and what we hope is the final wave of this disease.”
Newsom said 142 coronavirus-related deaths were reported statewide in the past 24 hours. Over the past week, the state averaged 163 deaths per day — up from 41 per day one month ago.
“Think about if we continue down the path we’re on, what that Jan. 14th number might look like if we do not do what we need to do, which is not just to avail ourselves when we can to the vaccine, but to continue to wear these face coverings and minimize mixing to the extent possible because of what’s occurred in the last 30 days,” Newsom said.
According to the governor, the state has 60 53-foot refrigerated storage units on standby at counties and hospitals across California for use is local facilities become overwhelmed by coronavirus fatalities.
“We just had to order 5,000 additional body bags … and we just distributed them down to San Diego, Los Angeles, Inyo counties,” he said. “That should be sobering. I don’t want … to scare folks, but this is a deadly disease. And we need to be mindful of where we are in this current journey together to the vaccine. We are not at the finish line yet.”

Biden won. Trump keeps losing over 60 times now says
Trump supporters gather in D.C, and he drives through them to go golfing. A few days later they gather again and he flies over them in a helicopter to go to a football game!
AND THEY STILL DON’T GET IT!
Dave says
The bottleneck for distributing the vaccines is in the White House full of unqualified Trump picks/minions.
Good thing Trump will be gone in a month.
Atlantic City is tearing down Trump Plaza casino which was abandoned and crumbling just like his administration.
The neighbors in Palm Beach don’t want Trump living in Mar a Lago when he is forced to “retire” LOL per an agreement that it’s mainly a club not a residence.
What keeps the fools supporting Trump. Money? Not his. Theirs.
Loam says
The White House is not distributing the vaccines. The CDC, with pharm companies, professional transportation companies and state offices are distributing the vaccine.
Dave says
Poor you, Loam. You can’t get anything right.
The vaccines are sitting in warehouses waiting for the government under Trump to tell them where to distribute them. That’s the government’s job you know.
Trump has been AWOL and MIA since November 3, playing golf, twittering his tweets and doing as much damage to the federal government as he can before he’s evicted from the White House. But, he’s not doing his job. How come you are clueless about that?
Trump has fallen down on the job re: the pandemic at every turn from calling it a “hoax” to not telling Pfizer where to send the vaccines. Hence, the BOTTLENECK. Got it? Sheesh.
Do you have a “brain time-share” with Barbi? You 2 take turns spewing nonsense as though neither of you has a full-time brain working.

Here is what Trump really said: In September, Cuomo said he wouldn’t trust a vaccine just because Trump said it was good.) “He doesn’t trust where the vaccines coming from,” Trump continued. “So the governor, Gov. Cuomo will have to let us know when he’s ready for it, otherwise we, we can’t we can’t be delivering it to a state that won’t be giving it to its people, immediately. And I know many I know the people in New York very well I know they want it. So the governor will let us know when he’s ready. I hope he doesn’t handle this as badly as he’s handled the nursing homes. But we’re ready to provide it as soon as they let us know that they’ll actually use it,” Trump said.
At first the vaccine would never arrive, then it was going to take a miracle to get it in 2021, now it is available, it is not being distributed quick enough. Next it will be it got out too quick and there is a surplus going bad somewhere.
Matt says
Man, fantasy sure can be fun cant it?
Dave says
Trump’s incompetence plus lying and calling it a “hoax” (did you forget that?) prolonged the spread of COVID for months necessitating “all hands on deck” to develop a vaccine diverting resources from many other research projects as the pandemic surged and surged again.
So, the pandemic still raging in every state is Cuomo’s fault. Where did you go to school? You are good at distraction.
Meanwhile, Trump had superspreader rallies that did in Herman Cain and infected many people including his family.
It’s like Trump saw a small fire, ignored it, waited till it was engulfing the house and now wants to take credit for calling 911 when it could have been doused more readily at the onset.
But, that’s too too hard for you to grasp.
Anyway, good riddance to the worst and I mean WORST president of The Villages, I mean the U.S.
How can he run in 2024 with this record? He’s just going to screw the other Republicans who want to run. They’re eating each alive in the GOP.
AV Illegal says
Matt, what fantasy? That is what he said. Do a little looking if you come out of your basement.
Matt says
Sure that’s what Trump said, which is why fantasy can be fun, but just like everything else he says is a lie. Or fantasy land. Why dont u try to look up the real reason and get back to me. Or keep living in Trumps fantasy land. Which can be fun. Get it?
Really? says
Dave, I see you still bash anyone with a different opinion. Good job Lib.
If I were Trump, I would just hand Biden the keys and say “There you go Joe. I hope the next 4 years are special sporty for you”.
I guess they have to wait for the election challenges to be done first though. See, he still has a month or so to play golf on your tax dollars Dave.
Bob says
Thank goodness we can’t catch covid at walmart.
Palmdale is a [removed]
Sandy says
The coronavirus had been scheduled to end immediately after the election. Of course, you understand, election rigging issues looming large, they’ve extended the coronavirus pandemic another month, through January.
Sandy's caretaker says
Oh, Sandy it must be awful to be so ignorant.
But, then again, you wouldn’t know.
Francie says
… the worst governor in United States history, in addition to 50% increase in pump price for California unleaded, having permanently eliminated “nonessential” jobs in California 600%, having tripled unemployment, having bankrupted 50 thousand California mom ‘n pops, yet another signal achievement for Gavin Newsom’s CV: state body bag inventories increased, by a factor of 10 –
Joanna says
US$15 thousand dollar restaurant tabs? Newsom spends like God ordained the California taxpayer to be his wallet –
Dave says
Francie, your Trump guy was calling the pandemic a “hoax”, resisting doing anything for months to help people and damping it on the states and you ignorantly blame it all on Newsome.
Trump’s appointees at Health and Human Services were saying “Let them get infected” to facilitate “herd immunity.” and over 300, 000 people died on Trump’s watch.
Get a clue or a hundred. You’ve got some work to do. You stink up the place with your ignorance.
Go check out republican voting states like the Dakotas that have had the worse infection rates in the world before you even try to discuss this issue ever again.
But, we won’t see your name again. You are another hit and run poster here.
Crossroads says
Have you thought of Plastic trash bags also just in case you run short
Laughing says
LMAO!!!
Ruby says
Far more efficient, heaping our bodies onto flatbed trucks, sending us through the incinerator, Newsom could otherwise afford to gorge himself at the French Laundry, every night!
Bri says
I really don’t think that order is out of the norm considering the population of this state.. fear mongering at its finest, as per usual.
Bagged says
I wish I had Newssolini’s hair.
Crossroads says
What a joke lol
Loam says
Governance by fear.
