Breakthrough Cases—What You Need to Know

by Carson Blomquist

Optum

There have been a number of vaccinated people getting COVID-19. What does that mean, and what do you need to do to stay safe?

What’s a breakthrough infection? 

A breakthrough infection is when someone gets COVID-19 after they have been fully vaccinated. 

Why is this happening? 

A vaccine doesn’t mean you’re 100 percent protected against a virus. But it is a powerful line of defense. Some people, especially those who have chronic health conditions or are older, can still catch a virus after being vaccinated. 

How many cases have been reported? 

As of Aug. 2, the CDC has reported 7,525 cases in which a person was hospitalized with COVID-19 after being vaccinated. Of those cases, nearly three-quarters were adults aged 65 and older. Keep in mind: more than 164 million people have been fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Are the vaccines really effective? 

Yes. A CDC study from April found the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines were 96 percent effective in preventing hospitalizations for adults age 65-74. For adults age 75 and older, the Moderna vaccine was 96 percent effective and the Pfizer vaccine was 91 percent. The long and short of it: vaccines work (for more information, visit https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e3.htm).

I’m not vaccinated. What should I do? 

Talk to your primary doctor and see if the vaccine is right for you. There are very few people who should not get vaccinated because of serious health conditions, so the odds are your doctor will encourage you to get it. 

Keep following safety guidelines: wear a mask in public, keep your distance from others, and wash your hands.

I am vaccinated. Do I need to keep following protocols? 

Don’t let your guard down! Even though breakthrough infections are very rare, it’s not worth taking a risk. And you can still carry the virus, if you don’t show any symptoms. 

This virus likes to hitch a ride where it can, and while it may not be able to infect you, it can use you to get to others. Wear your face mask in public, maintain social distance and keep washing your hands.

Am I going to need a booster shot? 

The CDC now recommends that people whose immune systems are compromised moderately to severely should receive an additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine after the initial 2 doses. Widespread vaccination is a critical tool to help stop the pandemic. Check with your doctor for more information.

Is this ever going to end? 

It has been an exhausting 19 months. We all want things to go back to normal. But the virus doesn’t care about what we want. As we all get vaccinated or develop natural immunity, we’ll develop what is called herd immunity. 

Getting through this pandemic means we all have to do our part and keep our loved ones, communities and selves safe.  

Power outage set for Mutual 15

Southern California Edison has scheduled a power outage from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 25, in Mutual 15. A crew will replace a transformer structure in front of Building 22, 1900 McKinney Way, which will necessitate turning the power off. 

Affected buildings include: 7, 8, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, and 27.   

SCE has notified residents who will be impacted by mail. SCE plans to replace several transformers in LW by mid-October and will provide notice to all affected residents as work is scheduled.

Library Closed Friday

The LW Library will be closed Friday, Aug. 20, for necessary maintenance. It will re-open Saturday, Aug. 21, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Sandy Geffner: His COVID Story and a Message

Sandy Geffner of Mutual 3 is a LW fixture. He’s someone with a quick smile and a helping hand. For a dozen years, he’s made a lot of friends on stage, in clubs and in volunteer service to LWers. He was treasurer for the Golden Age Foundation for two-and-a-half years. He’s served on his Mutual board as CFO for three years and is now a GRF director, volunteering hours to make LW a better place to live. On the fun side, he was a member of the Producers Club and enjoys a hand of poker with pals every once in awhile.

In March 2020, the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like everyone else, Sandy hunkered down at home, ordered his groceries for pick-up, kept his distance and wore a mask. He’s more vulnerable than some, given several underlying conditions and his age, so he followed all the rules.

When the COVID-19 vaccine arrived in LW in January 2021, he was in the first group to get it, and it felt like a gift of great magnitude and the beginning of a new day.

And then he got COVID-19.

He was fully vaccinated, still prudently following CDC guidelines and gathering only with other fully vaccinated friends—and he still got the virus.

He was miserable for weeks and his recovery is slow, but he knows it could have been much, much worse. He has message for his fellow LW residents: “Wear a mask. Stay away from crowds. Don’t let your guard down. It’s not worth it.”

Sandy’s COVID story is a cautionary one, especially for people who are ambivalent about masks, social distancing, vaccines and other tools for fighting the virus.

On July 15, he got a call from a friend who was hospitalized with the virus. He had seen the man on July 4 at a small party of old friends. All were fully vaccinated. Eleven days later, the friend was hospitalized with COVID and pneumonia. And Sandy got a cough. He got a COVID test at the Health Care Center, and it came back negative.

“I have 20 million GRF meetings every month, and I wanted to make sure everyone was safe,” he said with a smile. That weekend, his symptoms worsened—bad cough, raging headache, congestion. But none of the more typical symptoms, like loss of taste and smell, difficulty breathing or fever.

“I just felt miserable,” he said. “At one point, my thinking was affected. I had to really focus to do things that I do every day.

Spurred by the brain fog, he called the HCC, which called an ambulance to transport him to the Los Alamitos Emergency Room, where he tested positive for COVID.

His breakthrough case led to pneumonia but fortunately, he did not have to be hospitalized. He was sent home with antibiotics and got an infustion of Regeneron, an antibody cocktail given emergency authorization by the Food and Drug Administration for high-risk people who have COVID-19 but are not hospitalized.

For 21 days, Sandy shut himself inside his unit, under quarantine and in misery as the virus ran its course.

“I gotta tell you, I felt so bad. I surely wouldn’t want to give this to anyone else,” he said. But there are some lessons he learned that he does want to pass on:

• A negative test doesn’t mean you are safe. It is possible for COVID tests to give a negative result that is incorrect (false negative) if the sample was collected early in the infection.

• If someone is asymptomatic or their symptoms go away, it’s possible to remain contagious for at least 10 days after the onset of significant symptoms. People who are hospitalized with severe disease and people with weakened immune systems can be contagious for 14 days.

• Wear a mask to protect yourself and others. The N95 or KN95 masks are the best. Both types are rated to capture 95 percent of tiny particles. At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, N95 masks were in high demand but are now much more available for purchase online or in home improvement stores such as Home Depot.

• At first Sandy thought he had a bad cold because of a greater exposure to people as routines resumed. Enhanced public health measures to prevent the spread of COVID did lead to diminished cases of other viruses, which are making a come-back as people mingle more. But COVID-19 often causes symptoms similar to a bad cold or the flu. And like the flu, the symptoms can become life-threatening. So people with “flu-like” symptoms should not rule out COVID. That means isolating and contacting your doctor to arrange for testing as soon as you start to feel sick. Some pharmacies will test you for free.

• Make sure to quarantine once symptoms occur. Last month, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended that anyone who is fully vaccinated and comes into contact with someone who has, or is suspected of having, COVID-19 should get tested three to five days after exposure. In addition, you should wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days or until you receive a negative test result.

As for Sandy, he survived COVID, but symptoms persist: “I still have no stamina. I gear up and do one thing, and then go home and take a nap.” He has a lingering cough and sometimes, breathing deep hurts. But thankfully the brain fog has dissipated, and his headaches are gone.  He never had a fever and did not have a problem with oxygen levels or breathing.

“So this was a ‘mild’ case,” he said, adding that if he can prevent one person from contracting COVID with his story, it’s worth it. “It never dawned on me that I would get COVID. I’d been vaccinated for months. People think that it’s no big deal, but it is.”

Amenity Status Report

It has come to the attention of GRF that COVID-19 cases are on the rise in LW. Several clubs have reported infections among their members and have voluntarily canceled or postponed their reservations.

The Recreation Department is receiving daily reports of COVID cases in LW, mostly among the vaccinated, with some residents hospitalized.

The GRF has reached out to Orange County for guidance, and although the county has not yet imposed new restrictions, it recognizes LW as a private community with an at-risk population, and so  the GRF is free to impose its own restrictions.

The GRF Board has asked staff to restrict some activities and has made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of  the Amphitheater show season and all weekend dances through August, as the situation remains fluid.  

Recreation is also asking each club to consider voluntarily suspending reservations for a period of time. To do so, email kathyt@lwsb.com as soon as possible and include when and where the club meets in the email.

As of press time, about 60 clubs have consented to temporarily suspending their reservations. In addition, LW Baptist, Redeemer and St. Theodore, LW Community Church and First Christian churches, and Congregation Sholom and Beit Ha’lev have all suspended in person services for the time being. The Hospitality Center in Clubhouse 6, and the Friends of the Library Bookstore, both of whom rely on volunteers, have decided to close in the interim in an abundance of caution. Friends Bookstore volunteers ask people to hold onto donations until the bookstore reopens.

Several of the dance and exercise groups that meet in Clubhouse 6 have relocated to Veterans Plaza while the threat continues (see the schedule below).

Residents who attend multiple clubhouse functions may have a greater risk of being exposed. 

The GRF cannot release the names of people or clubs who have reported cases, but club leadership has agreed to contact their members. In the meantime, groups who do not cancel are urged to require masks of their members, and limit or prohibit guests. 

The Recreation Department is working with ICS, the janitorial contractor, to increase disinfection of all trust property venues in an effort to mitigate the spread, as well to protect the LW community, which is the GRF’s first concern. 

Residents who have made reservations for private events at a clubhouse may also want to cancel or postpone reservations.  To do so, email Recreation at kathyt@lwsb.com. 

Watch for updates on LW Live should it become necessary for the GRF Board to impose restrictions if cases escalate.

For more information, email kathyt@lwsb.com.

Pool Progress Report

Work on the pool continues at a rapid pace. The HVAC system for the golf starter shack will be completed this week.

Plumbing installation at the pool facility has begun, and roof replacement is nearly complete.

This week, the goal is to complete underground plumbing and check the pressure, with steel installation to begin next week.

Crews will install a network of steel bars, known as rebar. Carefully placed at specific intervals, these metal rods will form a cage-like frame for the pool and spa. 

The cage is suspended several inches in the air, so it does not touch the soil beneath it. This way, plenty of space remains to be filled in by gunite material.

The application of gunite is expected to start once the rebar is installed.

Crews spray the concrete blend at high velocity onto the steel across the entire pool, creating the dense pool floor and walls. Pool gunite is a concrete blend of sand, cement and water that’s applied through a high-pressure hose. Once it cures (dries), gunite becomes rock hard, forming a thick, solid structure.

The gunite phase should be completed by the end of the month.

The pool has been closed since November 2019, when potentially catastrophic defects were uncovered in the 1960s-era facility. 

The project that started as a simple remodel soon morphed into a full-blown reconstruction. The project coincided with the coronavirus epidemic, which has delayed construction, parts procurement, and other facets of the job.

The facility will have a pool with five swimming lanes, a 30-by-30-foot activity area with a volleyball net, a 9-by-25-foot spa, new locker rooms and a lounge area.

As I approach retirement, I reflect on the years I spent in marketing and sales with a sense of déjà vu. During the early years of my career, one of the tactics that businesses and news outlets used to effectively influence customers and news audiences was FUD—Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. 

Spreading FUD is a commonly used tactic to build anxiety. For business, it’s a way to drive customers to make quick buying decisions. For news outlets, it’s a way to drive the populous to keep listening, watching or reading, exposing the growing audience to more advertising messages.

In the current climate, FUD is being used to drive a variety of narratives. One narrative is that COVID-19 vaccines are invasive and dangerous. Another narrative is that the delta variant of the COVID-19 virus is infecting the vaccinated as “breakthrough” cases. 

According to the CDC, a “breakthrough” case is when a person tests positive for COVID-19 at least two weeks after becoming fully vaccinated. As older adults we have understandable fear, uncertainty and doubt regarding our susceptibility to this pandemic. But, if we look deeper into the numbers, we realize that we have very little to worry about.

In a July 28 article from the Cleveland Clinic, it was stated that “while the COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at delivering immunity, no vaccine is 100 percent effective. But another goal of vaccination is preventing serious illness. And in that regard, the COVID-19 vaccines are successful.”

The article went on to explain that the incidents of breakthrough cases are so rare and so few that, according to infectious disease expert Dr. Steven Gordon, “The numbers are so low that the CDC is now primarily focusing on those breakthrough cases that result in hospitalization or death,” says Dr. Gordon. “And that number is incredibly small.”

According to the CDC fewer than 0.005 percent of fully vaccinated Americans have experienced a breakthrough case resulting in hospitalization or death. So, while it is highly unlikely to experience a breakthrough case or symptoms, the odds of serious illness for the fully vaccinated are minuscule.

 The delta variant’s rapid spread among the unvaccinated only emphasizes the importance of getting fully vaccinated against COVID-19 immediately. “The vaccines that are available here in the United States are effective against all variants of concern to date, including the delta variant,” says Dr. Gordon. 

Robert Louis Stevenson suggested, “Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.” Throughout the pandemic, we have seen our neighbor’s cast aside FUD and show courage through action, blessing the lives of the most vulnerable through acts of service and compassion. We all can reject the purveyors of FUD and expose it for what it is—a propaganda tactic used to control the hearts and minds of the fearful. 

If you have been vaccinated but still don’t still feel safe, the Golden Rain Foundation and Dr. Gordon suggest you keep wearing masks. “You can cut down on those risk factors by wearing masks, especially indoors with other people around,” he says. “But the bottom line is still to make sure, first and foremost, you get fully vaccinated.”

Setting It Straight

The phone number in the pickleball article in last week’s LW Weekly was incorrect. The phone number should have been (562) 794-9346. 

 Scam Alert

Companies use QR codes to point consumers to their apps, track packages, or view menus. But because these codes can’t be read by the human eye, they have become a way for scammers to disguise malicious links. 

As QR codes get more popular, the Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker is seeing more reports of con artists using them to mislead consumers. 

The Better Business Bureau serving the Pacific Southwest provides the following tips to avoid these potential scams. 

How the Scam Works

You receive an email, direct message on social media, text message, flyer or a piece of mail that includes a QR code. 

You are supposed to scan the code with your phone’s camera, and it will open a link. 

In some scams, the QR code takes you to a phishing website, where you are prompted to enter your personal information or login credentials for scammers to steal. 

Other times, con artists use QR codes to automatically launch payment apps or follow a malicious social media account. 

These scams differ greatly, but they all have one thing in common. 

Scammers hope you will scan the code right away, without taking a closer look. QR codes often appear to come from legitimate sources, so make sure any correspondence is legitimate before you scan the code.

How to Avoid QR Scams

If someone you know sends you a QR code, also confirm before scanning it. 

Whether you receive a text message from a friend or a message on social media from your workmate, contact that person directly before you scan the QR code to make sure they haven’t been hacked. 

Don’t open links from strangers. If you receive an unsolicited message from a stranger, don’t scan the QR code.

Verify the source. If a QR code appears to come from a reputable source, it’s wise to double check.

Be wary of short links. If a URL-shortened link appears when you scan a QR code, understand that you can’t know where the code is directing you.

Watch out for advertising materials that have been tampered with. 

Some scammers attempt to mislead consumers by altering legitimate business ads by placing stickers or the QR code.

Install a QR scanner with added security. Some antivirus companies have QR scanner apps that check the safety of a scanned link before you open it.

Do you need to see the dentist?

by Sandra Teel

Steel Medicare Insurance

We all know we should see the dentist yearly if not twice yearly, so why don’t we go? Here are some top reasons people don’t see the dentist:

“I hate going to the dentist.”

“I don’t have dental insurance.”

“I have dentures.”

“My teeth are fine.”

“I don’t have the time.”

Well, I can’t help you with your anxiety about going to the dentist, but I can give you five good reasons you need to see a dentist at least yearly, even if you have dentures.

1. Sixty-two percent of Medicare beneficiaries rate dental as the highest need. Most Medicare Advantage Plans include preventative dental, which covers things like twice yearly oral exams and cleanings, yearly dental x-rays, and fluoride treatments. If you have a Medicare Supplemental Plan or want more comprehensive coverage, you can add dental through your Medicare insurance broker.

2. Even if you have dentures, it’s important to see the dentist annually. Dentists will check the health of your gums and the fit of your dentures. If you have gained or lost weight, your dentures may not fit as they should.

3. Many diseases can be detected by dentists through x-rays and oral exams—tumors, mumps, tuberculosis, HIV, malignant melanoma, Parkinson’s, mononucleosis, pancreatic cancer, COPD, Addison’s Disease, kidney disease, Cystic Fibrosis, stroke and heart disease, to name a few. Something as simple as a cheek swab can detect cancer in your head, neck or lungs.

4. Adults with diabetes are twice as likely to develop gum disease. Inflammatory disease can increase insulin resistance, affecting blood-sugar levels, and poorly controlled type 2 diabetics are more likely to develop gum disease.

5. If you have swollen or bleeding gums, ulcers, dry mouth, bad breath (halitosis), metallic taste, burning sensation, or growths, you should see a dentist as soon as possible. Bacteria can migrate from the mouth to the lungs or other organs in your body.

Religion, 10-11

First Christian Church

First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, most often verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors.  

Services

All services, Bible studies and prayer meetings are suspended at this time due to the rise in COVID-19 and delta variant cases.   

The Message

As the body of Christ, Christians are called to worship the true and living God. The Bible gives instructions and examples of how Christians should worship. 

The book of Psalms is the greatest resource in the Bible of examples of when to worship.  King David worshiped and prayed morning and night and several times in between. He worshiped when he was hiding from his enemies, when he was celebrating victories, when he was broken in spirit and when he needed guidance from God. 

Where to worship is not as clearly stated, however it is also not restrictive to any certain place.  Yes, there was worship in the temple in Jerusalem and at the Ark of the Covenant. Jesus gave the example of spending time alone to pray and praise his father. It is apparent that Jesus wants us to worship in spirit when he told the Samarian woman in John 4:23, “But an hour is coming, and now is when the true worshipers will worship the father in spirit and truth: for such people the father seeks to be his worshipers.” Spending time seeking the truth in God’s word, the Bible, will inspire true worship of the living God. 

Scripture of the Week

“For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on him?” (Deuteronomy 4:7, NASB.)

Announcements

Those who want to speak to someone at the church or have a need can call (562) 431-8810 and leave a message.

Moses tells the Israelites to not “hate” the Edomites because they are kin; and to not “hate” the Egyptians because they were strangers in their land. He also presents laws pertaining to soldiers, slaves and prostitutes (both male and female).

All services use the special prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” which were adapted and abridged for Beit HaLev’s online services from the Reform Machzorim, “Mishkan HaNefesh,” and the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.” Printed versions of the prayerbooks will be available at the in-person Shabbat services when it is safe.

Live, in-person Shabbat services will be held once a month (to start) on the first Friday of the month, beginning on Friday, October 1 at 6 p.m.  in Clubhouse 3, Room 4.

Beit HaLev is a Jewish Universalist community. It is progressive in thought and traditional in liturgy. The services are joyous, meaningful and musical. Beit HaLev welcomes everyone who seeks a path to the divine and doesn’t believe in labels.

To request a membership form, call Rabbi Galit-Shirah at (562) 715-0888 or email duets@icloud.com.

Assembly of God

The people of the church are God’s hands and feet on this Earth. Christians are never instructed in Scripture to sit back, relax, and enjoy their own personal journey toward heaven once becoming disciples of Christ. The Bible instructs Christians to act for the benefit of others, to support, defend, supply and minister to those in the comunity. 

The third core value of Leisure World Assembly of God is “Act Compassionately.”  Pastor Chuck Franco’s message on Sunday, Aug. 22, at 10:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, will focus on two commands, one in Matthew 28:19, and the other in 2 Corinthians 1:4. The message compells Christians to act with compassion toward others in two areas, sharing the gospel with those still unreached and comforting those who are in need.  Through this series titled “Defining Our Mission,” the identity of Leisure World Assembly of God going forward is being established. 

Wednesday morning at 10 a.m., Pastor Chuck continues the study “Journey Into Hope, When Life is Tough,” with Lesson 10, “Surprised by Suffering,” in I Peter 4:12-19.  Should Christians expect to suffer?  This interactive Bible study is encouraging and practical.  

The Sunday night Hymn Sing is cancelled until September until the current COVID-19 resurgence dissipates. As LW continues to negotiate the changing landscape of restrictions and precautions, LW Assembly of God encourages people to be mindful of the needs, known and unknown, of others. It asks that masks be worn and physical distancing be practiced at indoor gatherings. LW Assembly of God are doing everything possible to maintain our ability to meet while protecting each other. It encourages others to consult Philippians 2:1-4, also speaking of compassion, to determine actions in meeting the challenges the world continues to face during this global crisis.  Love always wins.

Those who choose to stay home for a few weeks and would like to receive a DVD of the Sunday morning sermon should contact Pastors Chuck and Sheryl Franco at the church office by emailing pastorchuck@lwassemblyofgod.com or calling (562) 357-4360. Leave a message with a phone number so the request can be confirmed.

 The pastors and people of Leisure World Assembly of God are praying for all residents, churches and pastors in the LWSB community.

What to do if your email has been hacked

Scammers hack email accounts so they can send fake messages from a trusted email address in hopes of getting recipients to take immediate action. The ultimate goal could be to get email contacts to send money, turn over personal information, or click a link that installs malware, spyware, or a virus on the victim’s device.

It’s important to know the signs of  a hacked email account so the scammers can be stopped quickly. Before panicking, look for these three indicators that your email account has likely been hacked:

You can’t log into your email account: When you try to log in, you may get a message that your username or password is incorrect. This could mean the hacker changed your credentials to lock you out of your account.

Your sent messages folder looks odd: Your sent messages folder may hold scammy messages or the folder may be sitting empty when you never deleted your sent messages.

Strange messages appear on your social media accounts: If your latest Facebook post or tweet is touting some product you’ve never used, a hacker may have gained access to both your email and social media accounts. Your email can act as a gateway into other accounts. The hacker can simply click “forgot password” at login and have a password reset link sent right to your email inbox, which they now control.

A hacked email can put you and your email contacts at risk for identity theft or credit card fraud. If you think your email has been hacked, take quick action to minimize the damage by taking back control of your account and warning your contacts.  If the hacker has locked you out, you may have to contact your email service provider for help. You will probably have to provide an array of information to prove your identity and regain control of your email. 

If you do still have access to your account, make these changes right away:

Get a new username and strong password: Secure passwords 

should contain at least 12 characters, including numbers, symbols, and a mix of capital and lowercase letters. Use a unique password for every account. 

Change your security questions: The hacker may have gotten access to your account by guessing the answers to security questions. Avoid choosing questions with answers that can easily be guessed or  found online such as your or your mother’s maiden name.

Turn on two-step verification: This extra security measure typically requires you to enter a username and password along with a temporary passcode to get into an account. For example, the service 

provider may send the one-time passcode to your phone each time you try to log in. Without your phone, a hacker will be much less likely to gain entry into an account that has two-step verification turned on.

To prevent this from happening in the first place, take these steps:

Check your settings: Hackers may change settings to further compromise your email security. Check your email signature to make sure it doesn’t contain any unfamiliar links. Look to make sure your emails aren’t being auto-forwarded to someone else. 

Scan for trouble: Look for signs of a computer virus on your computer, phone or tablet. This includes strange pop-up windows, slowness, problems shutting down or restarting, and unfamiliar applications on your device.

4. Protect yourself for the future.

Make sure to put a few simple measures in place to make it less likely that your email account gets hacked again:

Update frequently: Make sure you are running the latest versions of your apps, browser, operating system and software. The newest versions often contain patches to fix security flaws hackers can exploit. You may also want to delete any apps you don’t use or that aren’t being updated regularly by their developers.

Add security software: Get security software from a reputable company and install it on all of your devices. If you already have security software, make sure you’ve got the latest version and run it to check for malware, spyware and viruses.

Now that you know what to do, you can put a plan of action in place in case you ever do get the dreaded “you’ve been hacked” message from a friend. That will allow you to regain your account and your peace of mind more quickly.

Democratic Club

by Mary Larson

LW contributor

The Sept. 14 election to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom is not a typical election. When the California Patriot Coalition launched an effort to recall Newsom in February 2020, their effort looked hopeless.  Polls now show a tightening race.

Democrats have won every California statewide race since 2006. However, in a state with nearly 40 million people there are many grievances. As governor, Newsom has become a ready target for that resentment. 

From the polls, it would appear that Republicans are expressing the most interest in voting in this election. Twenty-four of the 46 candidates running to replace Newsom are Republican.  Democrats may be assuming that Newsom will beat back the challenge.  

Potential voters registered as Democrats far outnumber Republicans in California. However, if Newsom were to be recalled because too few Democrats vote in the election, the possibility exists that a new governor would be chosen by only a small fraction of the electorate.  

If there is a majority vote for recall of the Governor, the candidate with the most votes on the second question on the ballot would win the election, no majority required. Unfortunately, many Democratic voters do not realize they have the option of voting for a replacement candidate even when they vote “no” on the recall. 

If Democrats do not vote in sufficient numbers to stop the recall, California could very well be governed by a Republican until 2023.  Would it be conservative radio host Larry Elder or former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer? They are currently the two Republican frontrunners. Should Democrats choose the least objectionable Republican in case Newsom is recalled? What effect would this have on the 2022 governor’s race? These are the questions LW Democrats need to ponder as they get ready to cast their Sept. 14 recall election ballots.

The Republican Party has decided not to make any endorsement.  Party leaders reportedly admitted that they don’t want to alienate any voters who might not vote to recall Newsom if their favorite candidate was not endorsed by the party.   

LW voters will be able to deposit their ballots at a secure drop box located at 13531 St. Andrews Drive, just in front of the Amphitheater.  This drop box will be available 24 hours a day, beginning immediately after ballots are received.  Democrats and supporters who need assistance delivering their ballot to the drop box can email democraticclubsblw@gmail.com or call (562) 296-8521.

Republican Club

 The latest poll shows Larry Elder, the Republican Club’s endorsed candidate, beating John Cox by more than 3 to 1, or 23  percent to 7 pecent.

“The decline of California isn’t the fault of its people;” Elder said, “Our government is what’s ruining the Golden State.”

Elder cited schools, crime, homelessness, and government scandals as the biggest problems: “Our schools are closed to both students and their parents. Our streets aren’t safe from rising violent crime or the disaster of rising homelessness. And the scandals of Sacramento aren’t going to stop on their own. It’s time to tell the truth. We’ve got a state to save.”
