Newsom is closing the beaches again. Is this a knee-jerk reaction to this weekend's crowds and he didn't give enough time for us to adjust?

Yes, he's pulling the trigger too early and should figure out how to make this work.

No, it's difficult to control tens of thousands when everyone has been on "restriction" since March 19.

the problem is twofold. First, not all beaches are open, and two, people were 'dying' to get out of their house.

As he should, all these people out there like nothing is going on... smh lock everything down now..

Cat is out of the bag. You can’t put the toothpaste back into the tube........At what point will the state government allow people it’s freedom? When will “they” believe we can open the state? Gov Newsom, will soon be facing backlash from the people and is already facing a difficult task of getting the teachers union to agree to walk back into classrooms.

We have been on lockdown for over a month, what did he expect the 1st weekend let free.  Total over reaction, this is fixable!

What a Bunch of babies!  I want to go to the Beach, I want to go to the bowling alley. Look it’s one thing to say my small business needs to re- open and it’s another thing to stay you need to do some recreational playtime. This is lije watching a movie about the plague in medieval medieval times and people doing dumb shit, and thinking ‘That’s so lame why would someone act that way? ....well now we know......Time to grow up and stop being selfish

Running on the beach and surfing are two of my favorite ways to work out. But there are other ways for now. I can walk/run anywhere. I can hike now that trails are open. I can get needed sunshine anywhere in CA, not just at the beach. They won't be closed forever. If we can hang tight for another 3-6 weeks, we can really get this under control and not have to shut down again later!

Newsome is showing how detached his is from what Californians really need and deserve at this time. People in San Diego were adhering to the distancing as required. It was noted on several live news broadcasts. He can be a moron sometimes!

Frederick Remick

After being cooped up for over a month, people need to get outdoors. It is a two fold situation. He needs to talk to his professionals and get a temporary game plan so people don’t feel trapped in their homes.

Shut it down or this virus will continue to spread

The Red Pimp

When will the hysterics be called out!  The numbers do not add up to the panic, Newsome has already stated that this is an opportunity to reimagine California in a more progressive image and he is taking full advantage of this “crisis” to further his far left agenda.

Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Let justice be done though the heavens fall.

This was a very confusing announcement which I believe the results was only Orange County had to. Which frankly is probably not the best way to handle it .

Dude is looking to be very PC and make a presidential run in 2024

ya lets all just continue to hide in our homes. also look at aerial photos and stop reading headlines only that show POV shots of the beach. you're actually not seeing the real image

trails will be closed now too. Get this under control? oh because we haven't already done that in CA. not a single hospital has been even half full, the peak was over a month ago for cases, we have a death per 100k at 3.3 while NYC has a 30+. but ya we dont have it under control right bc newsom tells you we dont. youd rather give up freedom for bs than actually look at the data in CA?

I'm aware, was busy at work today so didn't get a chance to get on untill now. And year thats my guess, though will probably get more for just forcing one place and probably continue to push the local governments to keep making their own decisions.

derrick, i posted my sided question early in the morning, before they announced they were going to only close down OC. I'm sure the backlash made him change his mind.
