Californians, weary of stay-at-home orders that have left millions unemployed staged displays of defiance yesterday, with hundreds of flag-waving protesters gathering at the Capitol and along a Southern California beach, the Yahoo News website reports today (May 2, 2020).
While much of the population remained behind closed doors to deter the spread of coronavirus, Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state could begin relaxing some aspects of the restrictions next week.
In downtown Huntington Beach yesterday, protesters swarmed the streets, backing up traffic for at least a mile along the Pacific Coast Highway.
A day earlier, Gov. Newsom ordered all beaches in Orange County to close, after thousands last weekend sprawled on the sand in Huntington Beach and nearby Newport Beach.
