California Gov. Gavin Newsom talked to soccer champion Megan Rapinoe about the coronavirus in which he urged people to follow social distancing a bit longer.
Rapinoe, the reigning world player of the year, grew up in conservative Shasta County, where just 27 people have tested positive for the virus. And her conversation with the governor touched on such hot-button issues as Newsom’s shelter-in-place order, aid to undocumented immigrants, coronavirus testing and the gender-discrimination lawsuit Rapinoe and her teammates have filed against U.S. Soccer, the questions were largely softballs at which Newsom took a healthy hack.
Addressing the stay-at-home order, now ending its fifth week, Rapinoe admitted the edict was “making people a little bit stir crazy,” especially in rural towns such as Redding, where her family lives. But, she added, by acting quickly — California was the first state to require residents to stay home — Newsom “look[ed] like a genius” by slowing the spread of the virus and flattening the curve.
“We’re so close to sort of really turning the page at just the moment where people are saying, ‘It’s a beautiful weekend, the beaches, they’re calling, these parks and playgrounds,” the governor said. “And so we just really can’t impress upon people more gratitude for doing the right thing. Not only for themselves, but for the community and for the state and each other.
During Thursday’s conversation, Rapinoe, who has been hosting weekly Instagram chats with her partner, WNBA star Sue Bird, from their home in Washington state, referenced her rural roots when asking about the timing for lifting the lockdown.“We have to tailor our strategies bottom up as we collaborate regionally across states,” he said.
