“...we'd have 40,000 more Californians dead if we took [DeSantis's] approach,” Newsom said after DeSantis attacked Newsom.

Newsom went on to say right wing politicians like DeSantis are performance artists who get on Fox TV and are "just playing in and placating the right-wing punditry. It’s the CPAC primary. It’s rather absurd. And that's why I respectfully submit that so much of this is pure performance.”

Meanwhile, California's booming economy is generating a $45.7 billion surplus for the upcoming fiscal year.

Kind of like being insulted by Barney Fife.

If Barney Fife was an insane moron in addition to basic incompetence.

Most of them elderly, and for many of them it would have been their choice . People can take the level of risk management they deem fit.

Really though that's what's great about the US... if we would stop taking a one size fits all approach and leave it up to the states people can move to the state that comes closest to the philosophy they have.

Looking at the Twitter link in the story you linked. Governor Newsom, Yahoo News, and you, yourself, are spreading misinformation.

First of all, the person who came up with the 40,000 figure, said that's for BOTH Texas and Florida.

Second, there is absolutely NO WAY to prove that's true.

So, we have Governor Newsom, Yahoo News, and you, yourself, spreading misinformation using data that is not verifiable or can be reliably proven.

What a moron!

DeSantis is much more intelligent than Newsom, and the difference is even more lopsided when it comes to knowledge relevant to the pandemic.

Exactly what purpose does Newsom have to make a comment on any other state's government official(s)?
