Newsom was in a tough bind. He apparently has understood what should be done, but also understood that POTUS45 would threaten funds if he was too tough. Governor Cuomo, for example, said something recently and now POTUS45 is threatening to exclude NY citizens from the earliest wave of the vaccine distribution.
So for the next ~70 days I expect we will stay with our current Purple, Red, Orange, Yellow system as a new system could put CA in a similar situation to NY where citizens need to decide if the POTUS45 vaccine threat is possible. As we get closer to January 20, I expect Governor Newsom will be more passionate about citizens doing more than the bare minimum. And on January 20/21 when POTUS46 encourages Governors to implement statewide mask mandates, plus whatever else the POTUS46 COVID task force advises, I am sure Gov Newsom will do that too.
Any changes like that will all be far too late to slow this massive wave. Hard to believe POTUS45 will change his COVID stance now, so until nurses and doctors are literally crying on FoxNews and NewsMax this is our path.
For me it is best to imagine POTUS45 will just check out of his job. Much like a project leader that gave 2 weeks notice a few days ago, and is very eager to leave the job. We have this big new project that should be started ASAP, but realistically we will just need to wait for the new project leader because the current employee hated this part of his job and has mentally checked out already.
