Since last Wednesday, Several Democrat politicians have announced the lifting of some coronavirus restrictions:
Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser lifted the indoor dining ban in the nation’s Capital.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker has given the green light for restaurants and bars to reopen indoors.
Michigan Gov. Whitmer has said indoor dining can resume February 1st with capacity limits.
And now California Gov. Gavin Newsom is lifting some restrictions in that state:
JUST IN: Multiple sources tell me Governor Newsom will lift the stay at home order on all regions in California tomorrow.
All counties will go back to the tier system, sources say. Most will return to the purple tier— allowing the reopening of outdoor dining, indoor salons.

Just a coincidence, of course.
He's not doing this because of science or advice or anything else. He's doing this because his political reputation is spiraling out of control. Imagine if he had an R after his name https://t.co/MJidiL9amj

The growing number of names on the recall petition might also be hastening re-openings in the state.

This is definitely based on science.

Maybe a little of both?
Great. Hopefully a Sacramento reporter will ask what data changed? What’s the science based decision? Or is this another political decision? @GavinNewsom destroyed businesses and livelihoods because of politics?! https://t.co/CzPxGD68UM

The state won’t release the data, claiming the public is basically too stupid to understand their rationale.
