California border region agrees to backpedal on reopening

A farming region on California's border with Mexico has sent hundreds of patients to hospitals outside the area, an official said Tuesday, as its leaders accepted Gov. Gavin Newsom's recommendation to backpedal on reopening its battered economy.

The Imperial County board of supervisors unveiled a plan late Monday that includes closing businesses deemed non-essential, except for curbside pickup, and shuttering county parks.

The plan would take effect if approved by Newsom, who said Friday that the county should reverse itself on reopening. It comes as California grapples with increasing infections across the state.

Imperial, with a population of about 180,000, has had about 6,200 cases among 30,700 tested, a positive rate of about 20%. Health experts largely agree that cross-border traffic with Mexicali is at least partly to blame for a surge since the middle of May.

"The constant coming and going across the border” contributed to the outbreak, along with multi-generation families in the same household and other cultural and personal behavior, Janette Angulo, the county's public health director, said at a state Senate hearing Tuesday.

The county “is largely invisible and forgotten as a region,” but it has gained widespread attention for its “grave situation” with the pandemic, Angulo said.

More than 500 coronavirus patients have been transferred to hospitals outside the region in the last couple weeks, Angulo said.

Gov. Newsom to announce tightened coronavirus restrictions ahead of 4th of July weekend

(KRON) – Governor Gavin Newsom on Wednesday is expected to make a major announcement tightening coronavirus restrictions in some or possibly all counties across the state.

This comes after the state has reported a 6% increase in hospitalizations and a 4% increase in ICU patients within the last 24 hours.

Additionally, the state has seen a 50% increase in confirmed infections over two weeks.

With the 4th of July this weekend, California could also start targeting family gatherings, a known factor for community spread in the state.

Recently, 28 members of the same family in Los Angeles tested positive for COVID-19.

Many local governments are already tightening restrictions ahead of the holiday weekend. Los Angeles County, for example, is closing beaches and banning fireworks this weekend to deter any large gatherings.

Newsom says today’s announcement will include details on how the state will step up enforcement of its reopening guidelines and face mask mandate.

Several counties in the Bay Area including Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco, have delayed further reopenings due to the surge in cases.

Last week, Newsom ordered bars to close in several counties and recommended other counties – including Contra Costa and Santa Clara – close bars as well to curb the spread of the virus.

Newsom said he was prepared to roll back on reopenings statewide as COVID-19 hospitalizations have gone up in recent weeks.

At last check, California had a total of 222,917 confirmed coronavirus cases, with 5,980 deaths.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, recently said coronavirus cases grow to 100,000 a day – compared to 40,000 now – in the US if Americans don’t start following public health recommendations.

San Francisco ranks among worst-run US cities during COVID-19 pandemic

https://www.kron4.com/news/san-francisco-ranks-among-worst-run-us-cities-during-covid-19-pandemic/

(KRON) – A new study ranks San Francisco among the worst-run cities in the United States during the coronavirus pandemic.

The study, conducted by WalletHub, based its “quality of services” scores on several categories, including safety and health.

According to the study, the top 3 cities doing the best job in handling the pandemic are Nampa, Idaho; Boise, Idaho; and Provo, Utah.

Now at the bottom of the list, Washington, D.C. ranks as the worst-run city, followed by San Francisco. Gulfport, Mississippi rounded out the top three.

WalletHub’s methodology to determine the rankings included 6 key categories – financial stability, education, health, safety, economy, and infrastructure and pollution.

Those metrics were then evaluated against more than three dozen other relevant metrics and graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the highest quality of service.

Suspect in a Fort Hood criminal investigation case dies by suicide as police approach car

KILLEEN, TX — A suspect in a Fort Hood Criminal Investigation Division (CID) case died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound just as officers attempted to make contact with him early Wednesday morning.

Officers with the Killeen Police Department with the assistance of U.S. Marshals located the suspect at around 1:30 a.m. local time.

Officers, along with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals, located the suspect in the 4700 block of East Rancier Avenue — about 10 miles from Fort Hood. The Killeen Police Department says as officers attempted to make contact with the suspect, he pulled out a gun and shot it towards himself. The suspect later died.

The incident came hours after Army CID agents announced they had found human remains while searching for Pfc. Vanessa Guillen, a soldier who went missing from the base on April 22. There is currently no confirmed link between Wednesday morning's incident and Guillen's disappearance.

Right-wing militia rally hijacked by disguised Sacha Baron Cohen

https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Right-wing-rally-pranked-sacha-baron-cohen-15376859.php

Sacha Baron Cohen, the English actor who has made a career out of duping unsuspecting politicians and celebrities, hoodwinked a right-wing militia group in Washington state this weekend.

Around 500 attendees gathered at the 'March for Our Rights 3' rally in Olympia on Saturday, an event organized by the Washington State Three Percent, a "constitutionalist" group with militia ties, alongside other groups associated with the far-right militia movement.

The event went off the rails and ended in disaster for the hosts, as the Borat and Ali-G prankster took to the stage disguised as a clownish bluegrass singer and led the crowd in a racist sing-along that included lyrics about President Obama, Dr. Anthony Fauci and the "Wuhan flu."

"It ain’t no jokes, corona is a liberal hoax," Cohen sang through his fake beard, "WHO, what we gonna do? Chop ’em up like the Saudis do."

The founder of the group, Matt Marshall, who has long had plans to give his far-right movement a mainstream make-over and is currently running for the Washington State Legislature, told NPR, "It was just kind of a kick in the teeth."

The prank apparently involved a significant amount of work to pull off. The fictitious 'Back to Work USA' group, which claimed to be an Orange County-based movement calling for an end to "unconstitutional directives in the fight against COVID-19" approached the organizers and paid around $50,000 for facilities and services, and even provided a real headliner, country singer Larry Gatlin, who was in attendance.
