Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced an agreement on a shared vision for reopening their economies and controlling COVID-19 into the future. It sounds like they want to keep this lockdown going.
Hopefully, that is not the case. We will have to see what the detailed plans look like. This is just a general statement of putting the health of the residents first.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM INSLEE
We are announcing that California, Oregon, and Washington have agreed to work together on a shared approach for reopening our economies – one that identifies clear indicators for communities to restart public life and business.
While each state is building a state-specific plan, our states have agreed to the following principles as we build out a West Coast framework:
- Our residents’ health comes first. As home to one in six Americans and gateway to the rest of the world, the West Coast has an outsized stake in controlling and ultimately defeating COVID-19.
- Health outcomes and science – not politics – will guide these decisions. Modifications to our states’ stay at home orders must be made based off our understanding of the total health impacts of COVID-19, including: the direct impact of the disease on our communities; the health impact of measures introduced to control the spread in communities —particularly felt by those already experiencing social disadvantage prior to COVID-19; and our health care systems’ ability to ensure care for those who may become sick with COVID-19 and other conditions. This effort will be guided by data. We need to see a decline in the rate of spread of the virus before large-scale reopening, and we will be working in coordination to identify the best metrics to guide this.
- Our states will only be effective by working together. Each state will work with it’s local leaders and communities within its borders to understand what’s happening on the ground and adhere to our agreed upon approach.
They already have data showing the numbers are going down.

Has it occured to anyone that these leftist clown governors are reacting to the mere mentiion of Trump giving the go ahead for opening up the economy for business?
Then there is the missing taxes from the economy being throttled in their states. Ooops. Unintended consequences, again, for leftist policies. Not to mention the policies against freedom prior to the kung flu excuse.
What a bunch of idiots.
They noticed all that tax revenue missing from the feeding trough.
These are all CPUSA strongholds so that is somewhat amazing actually.
Also the natives are getting restless outside the glorious people’s food collective center.
Firearm slides are retracting and snarky retorts are flying. Some are using mean words sniffle and doing random acts of facecrime.
We are all in this together comrades.
Wait here on the square…right by the firing line and guillotine.
Do not trust these Liberal Governors.
