Governor Announces "Emergency Brake" Regional Stay-At-Home Order to Curb Covid-19On Thursday, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a regional stay-at-home order to curb rising Covid-19 infections. The order divides the state into five regions and will go into effect when ICU bed capacity in a region drops below 15%. While no region currently meets that threshold, experts predict that most of California will be impacted soon. Under the order, essential businesses and schools may remain open, but indoor dining at restaurants, bars, hair salons, among other businesses will be closed for at least three weeks. We'll discuss the new order and whether a Covid-weary public is ready to comply.

The Takeaway
What A Biden Administration Means for NewsroomsThe degree to which the Trump era has rewired the way we think about how the White House produces news can’t be underestimated. Now we’re going to go back to something different, and we have to remember what things were like before Trump.
