[Farm93]

New daily record by far

Newsom giving long impassioned plea for people to talk precautions in his news conference now.

Mentioning every single precaution he can and making it very personal.

He has the power to do a lot more than "plea" for them to do so. He isn't. Why not?

The CA orders and mandates are largely meaningless if people don't see them as necessary.   The fines would be relatively small, many counties already were threatening to not enforce early mandates, etc.   The citizens need to want to do it because they know it is right, not because they fear a potential $250 fine.   Enter the pleas for human decency/appeals to science/etc.

Most have acknowledged that the first spread prevention orders were hard to implement and enforce, but to try to ask for a return to a phase would be very difficult.  That's where we are, now we will get to see just how tough it will be to retreat a bit.

Any retreat/return of a phase would need a lot of support from all levels of government and the citizens.  We don't appear to have that in CA.  Newsom needs to plea a bit to get more citizen agreement and offset those government officials that have been implying it is all over, masks are optional or whatever.
