Good morning California.
It’s reopening day.
We’ve administered over 40 million vaccines.
Now…
No more social distancing.
No more capacity limits.
No more colors or county tiers.
And if you’re vaccinated—no more masks.
It’s a good day.
Last night, the world lost one of its true lights—@LeebaLessin—my friend and predecessor leading @CareMoreHealth—after a long, tortured battle with cancer. I will miss her dearly.
Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on.
This is my father, one of my #CovidImmigrantHeroes.
In the 1970’s, he jumped a train from India to Germany to take the ECFMG.
He settled in NJ, got triple-boarded, invented a thoracentesis needle, and has cared for seniors for 40 years.
He turns 70 in Nov.
Rock on, Dad.
Jesus is the rock from which the water of life flows out: salvation, healing, freedom, abundance. We don’t have to work for our salvation, try to be good enough, earn God’s love, earn forgiveness. This new covenant is not based on works; it’s based on grace.

Social isolation is real. During these trying times it’s important to check in with our loved ones.
Stay Home. Save Lives. Check In.
We appreciate @GavinNewsom recognizes the value of nurse practitioners to provide increased access to high quality health care. We stand ready to meet the moment for all Californians. #CAHealthCorps#NPsLead#COVID19#CANPsLead

We need more masks. We need more ventilators. But we also need more PEOPLE.
That means every doctor, nurse, EMT, and more -- we need your help.
Together, we can meet this moment.
UPDATE: CA has tested almost 67,000 people for #COVID19.
2535 have tested positive. 37 of those were people under 17. 51% were between ages of 18-49.
This disease can impact anyone. Stay home. Practice social and physical distancing. Take this seriously.
Just wanted to start off the day saying THANK YOU --
to our first responders, firefighters, and law enforcement officers in our communities making sure we stay safe. Grateful for your work during this unprecedented time.
