\u201cRed flags are flying,\u201d said California Governor Gavin Newsom<\/strong> at the starts of his Monday COVID-19 press conference.<\/p>\n

Newsom reviewed the state\u2019s dismal coronavirus numbers warning that:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf these trends continue we\u2019re going to have to take much more dramatic, arguably drastic action…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…If these trends continue, the potential for a stay at home order for those areas in the Purple\u2026more in line with the stay at home order that folks were familiar with at the beginning of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Monday\u2019s updates, more than 99% of California\u2019s population was in the Purple, most severe, tier of Newsom\u2019s reopening order.<\/p>\n

In the timing of the orders,<\/p>\n

\u201cThose are being assessed in real time\u201d<\/h3>\n

said Newsom before emphasizing that we should not think in terms of weeks, but days.<\/p>\n

As to what key points could trigger further action, \u201cWe are looking at intensive care capacity as the trigger for further action,\u201d California Director of Health and Human Services Dr. Mark Ghaly.<\/p>\n

The governor went through overviews that indicated the number of COVID patients in CA hospitals could double or triple in the next month.<\/p>\n

Even worse, he indicated that state models show that California ICUs will be overwhelmed. In Los Angeles, that tipping point is estimated for mid-to-late December.<\/p>\n
