California Governor Gavin Newsom has held his state in the strictest lockdown level for months. Five days following the inauguration of Joe Biden, he’s decided that the coast is clear for him to try to resuscitate his dying economy before it’s beyond repair. According to multiple sources, his office has alerted various industries that Monday will mark the end of the current lockdown protocols.
I’m not sure if this means the region will fall back into the tier system, but no matter what it would mean less restrictions. The CRA says it was informed of the lift today by Newsom’s administration but the formal announcement won’t be until tomorrow

Here is the body of an email sent out Sunday night by the California Restaurant Association to all of their members:
Late this evening, senior officials in the Newsom administration informed us that the Governor will announce tomorrow that the stay-at-home order will be lifted in all regions of the state.
The regions of the state currently under the stay-at-home order are: Bay Area; Southern California; and San Joaquin Valley. Two other regions – Northern California and Sacramento region – are currently not under the stay-at-home order.
Again, a formal announcement is expected tomorrow and we will send you further information as soon as it’s available. For now, we thought you’d like to know this good news.
While this is good news for businesses, it’s also a slap in the face to them. Nothing has changed since the orders were first initiated other than further economic hardship. The trigger-point for these lockdowns was 85% ICU capacity. Some of the regions affected are at or above 100% and nearly all of them are still above 85%. This tells us the whole thing was political. As I reported in December:
Scamdemic: Gavin Newsom’s ICU ‘trigger’ for lockdowns is below average December ICU numbers
Despite mounting scientific evidence that lockdowns do not work to slow the spread of COVID-19, many are reacting to the news by condemning Newsom for putting their lives at risk. California has jumped into the lead in the nation for coronavirus cases throughout the various lockdowns they’ve suffered through over the last eleven months.
ICU availability in Southern California is at 0%! They just detected a novel strain of COVID currently only in CA! They're literally lifting air quality regulations in LA so they can burn more corpses!
And Newsom's response is to ease restrictions?! I feel like I'm going insane. https://t.co/IrfNWM8ciz

what the fuck is this @GavinNewsom LA is already a festering shithole of covid… you should be focusing on getting us the vaccine, but instead you embolden these dumb fucks to act like we’re not even in a pandemic https://t.co/mq0aYhNgtt

Public data shows the situation in CA being worse now than when these orders were put in place in early December. Newsom is claiming he is making these decisions based on private projections, which he refuses to share with the public. https://t.co/oqZrryQxlF

ICU capacity is at 0% and Gavin Newsom is lifting the stay-at-home order?
What the actual fuck?!?!

The timing of this move is conspicuously close to the inauguration of Joe Biden. But it’s likely the bigger concern for Newsom is the growing recall efforts that are now at 1.2 million signatures. Around 1.4 million valid signatures are required to trigger a recall election, so the group pushing for signatures are shooting for over 2 million by the March deadline.
America’s recovery is closely tied to California’s. With the fifth largest economy in the world, larger than the vast majority of nations, California cannot continue to rot.
Is Gavin Newsom listening to science? He claims he is. But criticism is being leveled from both sides of the political aisle as he allows his state to be decimated economically. This move may be too little, too late for the Governor.

COVID-19 lockdowns are taking down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the resurgence of lockdowns that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $17,300 to stay afloat through March when we hope the economy will be more open, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. In November, 2020, we hit 1.2 million visitors.
We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 11,000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
