On December 4, a bipartisan group of California legislators sent Gov. Gavin Newsom a letter urging him to reconsider his order closing outdoor playgrounds as part of his regional stay-at-home order.
Newsom's order closing outdoor playgrounds-a response many see as senseless and ineffective, which prompted the governor to rescind it-is just one example of the hardline approach California public officials have taken in their attempt to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
State data show California is smashing its previous highs in both COVID-19 cases and deaths.
"California broke its statewide records for both coronavirus cases reported and deaths reported in a single day on Wednesday," The Hill reports.
"The state reported 51,724 COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, breaking the previous record of 42,088 cases, which was just set on Monday, according to a Los Angeles Times tally."
To put these numbers into perspective, the number of deaths California reported on Wednesday was more than double the daily high in any previous month.
State data show CA is smashing previous highs in #Covid 19 cases & deaths, despite having the strictest lockdown in the country.
