In a letter to President Donald Trump, requesting the aid of Naval Hospital Ships, California Governor Gavin Newsom has revealed that the Golden State expects 56% of their population, or "25.5 million people" to contract the Coronavirus over the next two months. 

 “In the last 24 hours, we had 126 new COVID-19 cases, a 21 percent increase. In some parts of our state, our case rate is doubling every four days,” Newsom wrote in a letter dated Wednesday. Newsom asked Trump to dispatch the USNS Mercy Hospital Ship to the Port of Los Angeles through Sept. 1 to help with the influx of expected cases.  

The state reported nearly 699 confirmed cases as of 9 p.m. ET Wednesday night, according to the California health department. Newsom said the virus is spreading in the community in 23 counties across the state. It is the third hardest hit state in the U.S., behind Washington state which has 1,376 cases as of 6 p.m. EDT Thursday and New York which has at least 5,000 cases. 

Earlier this week, Newsom ordered all non-essential businesses to close, including bars, beer pubs and wineries.
