My mom is in a nursing home and it was her birthday yesterday. We just happened to have a doctor's appointment for her. The nursing home is on strict lockdown/quarantine so this is the only time we can actually see our mom in person, so I flew back from Montana to CA to be here for the appointment.
I was shocked at what I saw on my short trip to the SF area. First, there was a very large protest in the Sunset district (used to be one of the blue collar areas of SF, still not as crazy left as the other parts of the city) with folks collecting signatures to recall Newscum. It wasn't a freak show type of protest, it was normal looking working people who were fed up. I've never seen something like it in SF before.
THEN, when the ambulance transport got us to the hospital for my mom's appointment, the staff there ushered us into a closed room and told us we have an hour to hang out with our mom, no masks, no distancing, no restrictions. She's had both rounds of the vaccine and the dr there told us he will not comply with inhumane government orders that keep families separated (and yes, I caught the amazing turn of events with that phrase). The nurses even baked birthday cookies for my mom and had presents ready for her (she has Alzheimer's, so she didn't quite understand it was her birthday, but she loved the attention).
The medical staff was in actual tears, complaining that they are forced to operate "speakeasies" for families due to the government policies that are keeping people in a pointless state of separation.
Word to the left: When you've lost SF, you really must have crossed the line... But I know this is too little, too late. Still, to have doctors refusing to comply with government orders that keep families apart is something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. It felt like I was in some third world dictatorship (which I was, in effect).
Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.

One thing to remember about "the left"...when their masters teach them to be disobedient to the government (under Trump) sometimes there are residuals when the new government comes to town.

I'm glad you got to see and actually touch your mom. That's so important for her and for you.
My best friend couldn't do that because of the restrictions, while his mother died all alone in a nursing home. Tragic.

People around here are gradually pulling away from the restrictions. They were never enforced as strictly here as in the leftist enclaves, however. Restaurants are seating people inside. They ask you to wear a mask to enter, but once you're seated you can remove it.
I also see people walking around in stores with no masks. The employees will often have their masks pulled under their chin.
I've not seen anyone giving them any trouble about it. Basically, I think people have about had a belly full of it all.

There's a good chance that Gov Newsom is going down but he'll just be replaced by the Lt governor who I'm told is just as bad.

Going to cali next month and I'm curious how it will feel. It's so strange when I go places that are "woke". The tension is palpable from the people.

When a govener gets recalled,it is with a vote. 1st vote is ,should gov. Be removed. Yes or no? 2 nd is vote for who replaces him. Last time there was over 100 names on ballet. Last time we got a Super RINO. Swartzanagger.

It doesn't matter who gets more votes, It matters who counts the votes.

We kicked out a openly socialist Mayor backed by Bloomberg/Oprah money voted in a Conservative and Religious candidate supported by the local Repuke party.

Will wonders never cease!
Glad you got a visit in. Was hard enough for me living hundreds to thousands of miles from my mom when she was in the care facility. To have administrators tell me I couldn't see here when I had the time to go for a visit might have pushed me over the edge.
Congrats to your mother's doctors.
And yes, the people of California are getting a bit fed up. Even the left wants a somewhat normal life to return.
