San Diego mayor slams Newsom’s coronavirus lockdowns, says 'no science' behind new restrictions | Fox News
>>The Republican mayor of
San Diego, Kevin Faulconer, called out Democratic Gov.
Gavin Newsom Friday over the growing frustration in the state newly imposed coronavirus restrictions, telling Fox News there is “no science behind” the orders.
“We get new executive orders with no science behind it, and so when you see this new order that says, for example, we're going to shut down outdoor dining, which has been working very successfully, when it says we're going to shut down playgrounds for families and kids, once again there’s no science behind it, and that’s why you see this growing anger and frustration,” Faulconer told “
America’s Newsroom" Friday.<<
>>Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva recently said he would take a hands-off approach to the restrictions.
“I want to stay away from businesses that are trying to comply," he said. "They bent over backwards to modify their operations to conform to these orders and then they have the rug yanked out from underneath them. That's a disservice. I don't want to make them more miserable."
“People are losing confidence,” Faulconer said. “People want to do the right thing. They are working really hard to keep everyone safe, and that's our goal. Yet, when you have orders like this that come out, again, not based on any data or science, people begin to lose the trust and faith of our public health officials. That's not something we want.”<<
