   CALIFORNIA — Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday announced the activation of the   
   California National Guard to support local communities with additional   
   testing facilities and capacity amid the national surge in COVID-19 cases   
   driven by the Omicron variant.   
      
   More than 200 Cal Guard members will be deployed across 50 Optum Serve   
   sites around the state, serving as interim clinical staff while permanent   
   staff is hired, the governor announced.   
      
   The difficulty finding coronavirus test kits in many parts of California   
   and delays in getting results are causing increasing frustration and   
   contributing to the surge of infections that in just two weeks more than   
   doubled the number of people in hospitals with COVID-19.   
      
   The omicron variant has spread rapidly around the nation and accounted for   
   at least 80 percent of COVID-19 cases in California, according to Newsom.   
      
   Negative test results can be a necessity for any number of activities,   
   from going to work to boarding an airplane or attending a sporting event.   
   Delays in getting results — or inability to find a test kit — can mean   
   people with very mild or no symptoms may presume they are not infected and   
   go about their usual routines.   
      
   "California has led the country's fight against COVID-19, implementing   
   first-in-the-nation public health measures that have helped save tens of   
   thousands of lives," Newsom said. "We continue to support communities in   
   their response to COVID by bolstering testing capacity."   
      
   The announcement comes as Omicron continues to spread rapidly across the   
   globe, accounting for at least 80 percent of COVID-19 cases in California.   
      
   Riiiight.  This makes tooons of sense.  Pull working NGs from their daily   
   work as health care providers and reassign them right back to the same   
   tasks to make yourself look productive to the media.   
      
   The stupid media will buy this sleight of hand just like they do every   
   other dumb thing Democrats do.
