California Governor Issues Executive Order Allowing State To Commandeer Hotels, Motels For Coronavirus Patients

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) issued an executive order on Thursday that allows the state to take over hotels and motels in order to convert them into medical housing for coronavirus patients, according to the Palm Springs Desert Sun.  

According to the report, patients from the Grand Princess cruise ship have already been moved to such facilities, such as a 120-room hotel in San Carlos located near San Francisco. Officials are also looking for potential patient housing in “mothballed” facilities that could be cleaned up and repurposed.

As you can imagine, under our pandemic planning, we’re also looking to secure additional assets,” said Newsom.

Under the executive order, the state’s Health and Human Services Agency and the Office of Emergency Services can commandeer private property for coronavirus treatment, as well as offer economic relief for residents, Fox News reports.

This is where we need to go next, and to make sure we fully implement those procedures and protocols to slow down the spread to get through a peak and to get through the next few months, so we don’t overwhelm our healthcare delivery system,” Newsom said, according to the LA Times.

The executive order also eliminates a one-week waiting period for unemployment benefits. In Sacramento, meanwhile, the City Council approved a $1 million economic relief package in a Friday night vote which will provide zero-interest loans of up to $25,000 to restaurants, retail, daycare and other businesses which are being affected by coronavirus precautions.

Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti closed City Hall to the public along with banning all events or conferences on city-owned property which will have over 50 people. Meetings will be conducted via teleconference.

“We are entering a critical period,” said Garcetti, adding “These are common-sense measures.”

There are currently 282 known cases of COVID-19 in California, which is home to around 40 million people.

  1. Can’t assemble? 1st article infringement.
    Taking over private property? 3rd article infringement.
    Securing additional assets? Theft. 4th and 5th article infringements.

    They need to just say the magic words. Martial law.
    Lock and load.

    1. Communism. State takes it over and too bad so sad to the former owner. At least in WA state they bought the hotel they are using and are leasing another.

    2. So true, Ed. 3rd Article immediately came to mind when I read this story. Quartering, by any other name… 

      And I looked up the word commandeer:

      “Officially take possession or control of something, especially for military purposes; take possession of something without authority; enlist someone to help in a task, typically against the person’s will.” 

      They are pullin’ out all the guns.

      So are we.

      .

  2. Next these cock suckers are going to drop the hammer on mandatory vaccinations, really looking forward to that!!!!

    Your going to look real fkg stupid walking into a clinic, with a mask on, getting a fk you shot!

    Cant make this shit up!!

  3. I got a better idea…take over the mansions of Alyssa Milano, RobertDeNiro, George Clooney, Kevin Spacey…. Never mind. These CoronaVirus patients don’t deserve to be sex trafficked, pedophiled, satanized, and otherwise abused by these purveyors of evil….

  4. “Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.”

    It looks like the fat bastard’s wet dream is finally becoming a reality.
