Our Goober has repeatedly said that we need to follow the science and listen to the experts, or words of that nature (for example see Politico here or CNN here). So has none other than Democrat Presidential candidate Biden who said, with respect to a national CoViD lockdown, "I would shut it down. ... I would listen to the scientists." Clearly these are supposed to be the right thing to do. So yesterday the CDC provided new guidance on CoViD-19 testing. And our Goober's response was exactly what you'd expect from his previous statements. He said
“I DON’T AGREE WITH THE NEW CDC GUIDANCE PERIOD, FULL STOP, AND IT’S NOT THE POLICY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WE WILL NOT BE INFLUENCED BY THAT CHANGE. WE’RE INFLUENCED BY THOSE THAT ARE EXPERTS IN THE FIELD THAT FEEL VERY DIFFERENTLY. THAT IS NOT THE POLICY GUIDELINE THAT WE WILL EMBRACE OR ADOPT HERE IN CALIFORNIA"
Now please pardon me, but that does not seem to indicate that he will follow this science. Rather it seems to indicate he will, at best, listen to the scientists that he agrees with (or is it the ones that agree with him?).
Oh, and in the interest of full disclosure, our wonderful Goober said (on Monday August 24) that he will release the reopening plan for when a county gets off his Watchlist, "later this week". He's down to today and tomorrow to make his own deadline. And it isn't just San Diego county that's in Newsom's CoViD limbo. There are 8 counties that are stuck this way. Clearly, he does not want the citizens of California to be in charge of their own lives, and does not want any chance for the economy to rebound. He really needs to be defied (in peaceful civil disobedience) and recalled.
