...those #s are going back on the upswing. Because morons from Arkansas and South Dakota and the like are fucking stupid, and won't have the sense to mask up on the streets once they're here.

Plus, I imagine Newsom is going to lift the mask mandate sooner than he should just for purposes of the recall election. He's already pledged to start sending out checks to residents with the money from the surplus, and he's going to try to erase any other lingering pieces of inconvenience before the election in the Fall.
