Newsom's Reflection: A Different Approach to Covid
California Governor Gavin Newsom admits that criticism of the state's strict Covid-19 restrictions is valid and reflects on how he would have approached the pandemic differently with the knowledge he has now. He acknowledges the need for humility and states that the decisions made were collective. Newsom faces criticism for being too accommodating to the film industry and not loosening restrictions when other states did. He mentions differences in virus spread indoors versus outdoors and alludes to handling masking and vaccine distribution differently. Newsom also laments the partisan nature of the pandemic response and emphasizes the resilience of the state.
