Summary
On Friday Governor Gavin Newsom announced that California won't be fully reopening until there is a vaccine for the coronavirus. He rolled out his new plan to reopen some sectors of the economy and has announced that in an effort to create a 'new normal' - many sectors of the economy will not be fully reopening for quite some time. Restaurants, bars, and gyms (among others) will not be allowed to operate at full capacity for the foreseeable future. We take you through Gavin's latest power grab.
Also on today's episode we discuss the new news from the CDC that shows a very small amount of COVID deaths can actually be attributed to COVID. We also discuss a celebrity's not-so-bold stance on the virus.
