Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in California over bird flu.
“This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak,” Newsom said in a statement. “While the risk to the public remains low, we will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus.”
With the federal government about to be taken over by bumbling criminals, Newsom reminds me why I’m relieved to live in California, which has a functioning government.
