With new COVID cases surging across the state, GavinNewsom proposed spending another $2.7 billion to expand testing and boost hospital staffing, while calling for a new law to give workers more paid time off if they get sick. coronavirus california

Newsom wants the state Legislature to approve $1.4 billion of the money right away so he can spend it now instead of waiting for the start of the new fiscal year on July 1.

However, early studies show omicron is less likely to cause severe illness than the previous delta variant, and vaccination and a booster still offer strong protection from serious illness, hospitalization and death. It's unclear if lawmakers would agree to spend the money early. Last month, Assembly Budget Committee chair Phil Ting, a Democrat from San Francisco, said he did not think there was any need to rush to approve new spending. But at the time, Ting said things could change.

GavinNewsom Instead of all this testing 1 time and people still going about daily life. Why wouldn’t they just be providing n95 masks to actually stop spread instead of these cloth make everywhere. I mean we have had a mask mandate for 2 years and haven’t made any progress

GavinNewsom More paid time off is exactly what a business should give so we don’t get employees running to work sick. With tests being days to know and hard to get a hold of; that leaves a non paid employee in a moneyless rut waiting for test results that can take days. TY

GavinNewsom Please, mandates forced many hospital workers out of their jobs. You might think about giving them their jobs back.

GavinNewsom Meaning Gavin newsome. We moderates will call for another recall if he shutdowns again so that’s good, if there’s less death rates each day up and down then the vaccine is working. But you cannot shutdown everytime a hospital rate goes up. That’s stupid

GavinNewsom GavinNewsom is soft on crime and his silence is deafening on law enforcement killed by criminals! Vote Gavin out for a safer California JusticeforDavidNguyen OutofControlCrimeCA ZeroBailGavin StopAAPIHate

GavinNewsom Good and no lockdowns on vaccinated people. Our happiness matters More then the selfish Unvaccinated people

GavinNewsom Add early treatment for all Covid+ and Med4All-style healthcare for all.

GavinNewsom With Omicron spreading like wildfire it’s honestly the wisest thing for you to do.

GavinNewsom lol I don’t think if there is still a mandate the unvaccinated will be allowed back🤦🏽‍♀️catch22

GavinNewsom By allowing positive COVID hospital staff to work...nice move Newsom

GavinNewsom

GavinNewsom We have immune systems that fight for free.

GavinNewsom Misinformation is going to be a challenge because california has some lower ranking health officials and LA Heath Department has also been getting away with misinformation. I ended up getting vaccine and booster no matter what was said about it.

GavinNewsom We need this ASAP! A friend who’s recovering from Omnicron was asked by his employer to return to work in 5 DAYS! He’s still in quarantine for god’s sake🤬

GavinNewsom And FFS, close the schools

GavinNewsom Just crazy. Other states are wide open and are no better or no worse than we are. It just tells us Gavin is way out of touch

GavinNewsom Not one word about the crisis schools are currently facing. Is your head in the sand?

GavinNewsom They’ve stopped contact tracing at schools. What are you going to do about the out of control COVID rates at schools? I have not heard ONE thing from you about how to protect our kids and school staff. Oakland students are petitioning for a remote option because they are SCARED.

GavinNewsom Really governor! Medical staff need Covid pay! Why was this stopped at some facilities January 1=. Also what about student load forgiveness for ALL nurses and doctors?

GavinNewsom It won’t help. There aren’t enough nurses and more are quitting because this is bullshit and we can’t take much more.

GavinNewsom CALIFORNIA is going to need yet another bailout from the other states again. TOTAL MISMANAGEMENT OF FUNDS.

GavinNewsom Thank you!!

GavinNewsom Can my loved one get his second vax 💉 dose please? He’s had 1 dose floating around since 11/19 while CACorrections CDCR pockets this type of 💵 & positive cases increase by the second. SantiagoAD53 MariaEDurazo

GavinNewsom 😂 everyone got sick at my job thinking they had covid hours still little too late Mad Gavin

GavinNewsom All these school board meetings are on zoom, yet we’re sending hundreds of thousands of children back to school …not to mention everyone around us is infected …how about online classes resume until the peak is over, Governor?

GavinNewsom PTO TY

GavinNewsom

GavinNewsom Thank you. We must do what we can.

GavinNewsom Maybe all those unvaxed hospital workers shouldn’t have been fired. They made it through 2020 and most of 2021 unvaxed, tells you pretty much everything you need to know about this virus.

GavinNewsom Love you Gav! Tell Jay we want the universal healthcare too (love my Governor Jay).

GavinNewsom Stop testing.

GavinNewsom Let's get it done.

GavinNewsom Really? Help the homeless and community. Our State is suffering because of your uninformed nonsense!

GavinNewsom And…..

GavinNewsom This is undeniably a good idea. Do it.

GavinNewsom Still no mitigation strategies......

GavinNewsom Free rapid testing in California, delivered by mail. Come on, Gavin.

GavinNewsom What about schools. Have you thought of half day!

GavinNewsom Aren't the vaccines supposed to have helped with this? Why are we back to square one?

GavinNewsom Yet his mandates getting healthcare workers fired

GavinNewsom The second most tyrannical State and here we are. How about stop mandating, start educating. N95s for people with high risk, for the rest, let us live. Freedom over fear! Why are we testing people with mild cold-like symptoms. Stay home when sick, wash hands, and mind your own bu

GavinNewsom IS THIS REAL. REGARDS GERALD

GavinNewsom

GavinNewsom Back in 2018 and 2019 we had a flu outbreak , plus a ' tainted' flu vaccine with a Covid spike protein that later when the lab leak occurred people who had the tainted flu vax became I'll with Covid .

GavinNewsom All the hicks in OC are about to lose their minds… even though this benefits them…

GavinNewsom Woohooo Super Bowl

GavinNewsom What about if there is a workplace outbreak and the employer doesn't report it, or tell other employees?

GavinNewsom This was all planned out! This YouTube video was put out in the fall of 2019, before Covid. Johns Hopkins University‘s YouTube channel, and cooperation with the Gates foundation. Watch it!

GavinNewsom But vaccinated workers don’t get covid right? Isn’t that the purpose of being vaccinated and getting multiple boosters?
