It’s amazing what a little recall will do.
Suddenly, Gov. Gavin “I’m all about science” Newsom is pushing for the faster elimination of mask wearing in California — perhaps as early as June 15.
At least that’s what he told Fox LA’s Elex Michaelson on Tuesday.
He said he thinks “Only in those massively large (indoor) settings where people from around the world … are convening and where people are mixing in real dense spaces” would masks be required. Otherwise … no mandates in businesses large and small.”
CalMatters.org reports this morning that California’s coronavirus positivity rate is at a record low of 1%, three more counties moved into less restrictive reopening tiers on Tuesday, and a swath of large counties will likely enter the loosest yellow tier next week, including Marin.
Am I too jaded in suggesting that the recall might have something — just a little — to do with this epiphany?
