CALIFORNIA FORECAST TO REOPENING THE ECONOMY BY JUNE 15 HINGED ON VACCINES AVAILABILITY

California is planning to *fully reopen* on June 15. The plan will depend on a sufficient vaccine supply and stable and low numbers of hospitalizations. The mask mandate will remain in place. But the state is now using a lagging measure (hospitalization) as a metric for reopening instead of a timely metric like prevalence or incidence rate to push reopening more aggressively or slow down sooner if needed? It’s almost like we haven’t learned anything in 13 months.

It's already more than a year after the COVID-19 pandemic upended the lives and businesses of millions across the state. Officials emphasize the move hinges on two factors: a sufficient vaccine supply and stable and low hospitalization numbers. There also will not be a full return to pre-pandemic life. Notably, California’s mask mandate will remain in place. Putting into considerations about 170k asylum seekers a month . all put in cages with no social distancing, no shots,  then released with covid into the USA to spread the virus. This should a good reason for mandatory shots and mask forever .

But officials expressed confidence that the state, through continued improvement in its coronavirus metrics and the steady rollout of vaccines, is now positioned to begin actively planning for what comes after COVID-19. With the highest cost adjusted poverty rate in the nation California better kick start the economy but nonetheless major tax hikes are imminent.
