An Open Letter

Dear Governor Newsom,                                               November 12,2020

As you are fully aware we are going to be dropping down to a lower tier in our county … meaning that because of some arbitrary criteria that you and Dr. Ghaly have formulated, the lives of a myriad of people are now headed further into “disaster mode.” Now this is going to happen not only to thousands of people here in San Diego County, but also to many many more throughout the state.

As an aside, are either you or Dr. Ghaly going to be going on unemployment because of your arbitrary tiers? I think not. Do you ever consider how you are effecting the lives of small business owners, especially those in the food service arena? I think not. These people have already lost a lot, or perhaps even all, of their savings trying to keep their businesses alive while you are comfortably rich, living in your gated community. 

This latest lockdown imposition will be the final straw for many. Their businesses will die. Their employees will no longer be employed. Do you realize what you have done to these hard working people? I think not.

Why are you ruining their lives?

I think the reasoning goes something like this: Because the number of Covid cases is increasing, inevitably the number of hospitalizations will go up, and our hospitals will be overwhelmed. (Much as you do not want to admit it, “overwhelmed” is conjecture. Will hospitalizations go up? . . . but overwhelmed?)

If in a few weeks this overwhelming of our ICUs does not occur, will you be willing to reimburse these small business owners for their losses . . . from your own fortune? I think not!

I do not wish ill will on anybody, but if there is a God, your recall will be successful.

Sincerely,

The California Contrarian
