State the current cases in california on july 10th 2020 ________.
Before the opening up of california we were in quarantine for three months.
From the ca.gov website has an article addressing the governor launching the ‘ wear a mask campaign. The campaign is encouraging people to wear masks to effectively slow the spread of covid. Governor Gavin Newsom said,
“We all have a responsibility to slow the spread. It is imperative – and required – that Californians protect each other by wearing masks and practicing physical distancing when in public so we can fully reopen our economy,” said Governor Newsom. “We all need to stand up, be leaders, show we care and get this done.”
In a tweet made by the mayor of los angeles, he stated,
We are also working to ensure greater access to testing and address the disproportionate rates of COVID-19 among vulnerable Angelenos by providing testing in public housing developments and increasing access for homeless Angelenos.
So, covid 19
What is your stance on covid-19?
Do you believe its real, fake, manmade..?
Do you think coming up with a vaccine will be the solution? Or do you think that wearing masks has come our new reality?
Before wrapping up our discussion on covid 19 edgar talks about the uncertainty of this new virus.
Do you have any other comments on covid 19?
On the covid19.ca website there is a map where you can locate the nearest covid testing site if you want to get tested for covid.
The black lives matter movement.
Before we get into the black lives matter topic of this episode, I want to make it clear that blm means black lives are equal to other lives. Blm means, I shouldn’t be worried about the police killing me but I should be worried about person killing me. its about the job of a cop to protect people from other people that have ill intentions. And how some cops use race to justify the killing, etc. this is wrong, It should be the cops job to protect and to arrest people who do wrong. It is not their job to kill
This is my personal understanding of the movement.
What is your personal understanding of the blm movement?
What do you see the moment as now?
What is justice?
Do the political views of the founders of the blm movement influence your understanding of the movement?
What is your opposing view on the blm?
Written on the blm website is these two paragraphs leading into their what we believe statement:
“Four years ago, what is now known as the Black Lives Matter Global Network began to organize. It started out as a chapter-based, member-led organization whose mission was to build local power and to intervene when violence was inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.
In the years since, we’ve committed to struggling together and to imagining and creating a world free of anti-Blackness, where every Black person has the social, economic, and political power to thrive.”
