Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom continued his unbroken streak as the worst governor in America by declaring a state of emergency amid “bird flu” concerns, even though he admits the risk to the public is low.
In a statement Wednesday, Newsom said he took the drastic pre-emptive measure after “cases were detected in dairy cows on farms in Southern California.”
“While the risk to the public remains low, we will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus,” he noted.
NEW: Following the spread of Bird Flu in 16 states, including in California & outside the Central Valley, @CAGovernor Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency to further enhance the state’s preparedness & accelerate the ongoing cross-agency response effortshttps://t.co/yNBPgy1PCE
