SACRAMENTO — Gov. Gavin Newsom called Sunday for all senior citizens and residents with chronic conditions to isolate themselves at home, as well as for all bars, wineries and brewpubs to close, launching the state's most sweeping effort yet to slow the spread of coronavirus.

No other state has imposed such restrictions on residents age 65 and older. Newsom said his orders do not come with enforcement but that he expects residents and counties to follow his protocols. California has 5.3 million residents over the age of 65.

“This will be socialized in real time,” Newsom said. “I have all the confidence in the world.”

1. Good. We must flatten the curve. Right now it's growing exponentially.

And we aren't even testing except for VIPs and folks in ICUs. We have to assume everyone has it.

2. Half of Hollywood will be isolated, Cher and Bette will have to stay at home.

3. So will Susan Sarandon

though I don't think quarantines apply to the elite 1%.
