Los Angeles, CA — California has some of the nation’s strictest restrictions when it comes to COVID-19, yet it is one of America’s epicenters for the virus, Politico reported. At times, the state has instituted “a complete ban on restaurant dining to travel quarantines and indoor gym closures.”
It’s almost as if lockdowns do nothing to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
These draconian measures have decimated California’s economy while clearly doing little to stem the virus, yet Politico reports the efforts made by Governor Gavin Newsom and his administration “hasn’t been enough.”
“America’s most populous state has become one of the nation’s worst epicenters for the disease, setting new records for cases, hospitalizations and deaths almost every day. Things are so bad in Southern California that some patients are being treated in hospital tents, while doctors have begun discussing whether they need to ration care,” the outlet reported.
As of yesterday, California has had 2.06 million known confirmed cases of coronavirus and 23,964 deaths in a population of 39.51 million. To put that in perspective, New York has had 909,000 confirmed cases and 36,739 deaths (24,889 deaths in New York City alone) in a population of 19.45 million.
