California, the first state in America to put in place a coronavirus lockdown, is now turning a page on the pandemic, AP reports.
“With all due respect, eat your heart out, the rest of the United States. There is no state in America that has more,” Governor Gavin Newsom said on the eve of the reopening. “The state is not just poised to recover; it’s poised to come roaring back.”
To mark the reopening, Newsom will make a few lucky residents millionaires. In a made-for-TV main event, the governor will draw 10 names of residents who have received at least one vaccine dose and award each one $1.5 million.
