Barbara Ferrer, the L.A. County health director, on Saturday said officials hope the more narrowly tailored restrictions will be sufficient to slow the spread of the coronavirus without reverting to stricter stay-at-home orders like those put in place in March.
“Now that we do, it offers us a slightly different path forward,” she said. “But I’ll be honest: It only offers us a different path forward if everyone’s doing it.”The risk of allowing more people to be out, she said, is that the efforts to slow the spread will work only if people choose to observe safety precautions. If they don’t, the county could find itself back where it was in the early spring.
Both statewide and in L.A. County, average daily coronavirus cases have quadrupled in recent weeks, and hospitalizations have tripled. COVID-19 deaths per day are also significantly up — tripling in L.A. County and close to doubling statewide in recent weeks. The case rate has been rising so dramatically that officials across the state are warning that hospital beds could run short in a matter of weeks. Should staffing at intensive care units be stretched beyond capacity, the mortality rate is sure to climb.
Why are the LA County Board of Supervisors still requiring in-person press conferences!! Stop putting workers at risk when you can do these online!!
hows it working so far, LA? Ready to call this the BIDEN lockdowns? Still waiting on somebody explain why you can protest or have church service OUTSIDE ONLY, but you're free to SHOP INSIDE. OR why u can 'protest' with 100 outside, but u cant lunch with Nana in the back yard.
None of this shit works. Let people return to their normal lives, and let businesses stay fully open. Covid 1984
19 people died last week in LA county. More than half were over 65. Three of them were homeless people.
get your crap together in Huntington Beach and other areas where covidiots are spreading their spit!!
JoshMankiewicz BLA BLA BLA BLA- they closed playgrounds, but malls are still open- wake up people 99.98% survival rate.
here we go
Wow.
Restrictions not working? Moar restrictions!
You will be under Marshall law if you all keep it up! Foolish!!!Americans.
PattyArquette Look at Europe: When restrictions are lessened: infections rise, when tightened, they drop. It works. It has a lot of disadvantages but it works.
To see how many people are scared of this is crazy I had covid, felt sick for a couple days and was fine I'm not dead lol but if I woulda got in an accident and died they woulda said I died from covid WakeUpAmerica
MissingPerson Retweet🙏🏼 She was discharged from a Hospital in Columbus Ohio in February They said she was well & looking forward to the ride home She never arrived I need to travel to Columbus to find her & hire a PI to help me, please help me get there
When the recovery number is way higher then the death rate smh!
So business as usual with exception to restaurants that nobody in their right might was dining at anyway. Cool.
The Great Barrington Declaration, calling to end lockdowns. As of November 18, 2020, signed by 34,973 medical practitioners, 12,070 medical &public health scientists, and 634,838 concerned citizens. These ppl listen to science not narrative. Let’s be like them.
It’s time for massive civil disobedience. Do. Not. Comply
I’d really want someone to explain to me why we can’t influence the majority of 1-2% of people that have severe vulnerabilities to COVID ie: elderly and immune deficiency) to quarantine themselves and the 98% keep our jobs and lively hood going.
This is all BS
How much more can be done. Why punish the many because of the few. Are cases truly spiking or is the Governor watching to much television. I’m not saying COVID isn’t real, but this is getting way out of hand. Just ask your favorite news network. Ratings= $$$
Suck my fucking dick
yea bc the last 8 months of lockdowns have been so wildly successful 🤣🤣
By the way Los Angeles, stay at home means stay in LA, at home.
Friends in Washington state literally took ALL precautions, wore masks, stayed home, only went to the store when needed, followed all the rules....still got the virus so now what?
Just send everyone another $1200 and that should patch up everyone's finances with plenty to spare. Might even get us through 2021. No worries.
The beach cities in Cali seem to have forgotten about Covid. The malls have also been fairly packed it seems. What restrictions? During shopping season...
I went for a drive to point dume and let me tell you.... the beach was PACKED lol
I sure hope it slows it down
it’s what needs to happen in order to slow this shit down . so many people are being selfish by going out everyday and putting their own lives at risk smfh🙄.
Wtf aren’t u paying all of us that you keep forcing to stay restricted As usual this is a 💩 plan that won’t work & hurts a select few- while others thrive like it’s not even real. Fuck GavinNewsom & fuck realDonaldTrump & fuck SpeakerPelosi & fuck JoeBiden if u do the same
What's the definition of insanity again?
So much awesome.
let people do what they want with theirs lives
There is no COVID19 exaggerated news. There were always viruses & flu. Yet no one paid attention. Now it is blown out of proportion. People are conditioned to believe. it's more political, than medical. Shame on Governor Newsom of California There's a petition to remove him
DesignEllz Cali just refuses to get it together yawll lol
But the other counties are staying open.... so this literally makes no sense and won’t make a difference 🙄😒 either close all of US already or keep it open Jesus how difficult is that to understand. This back n fourth is just hurting small businesses.
There should be no lockdowns. People have brains to decide for themselves
The la times is a weak propaganda media trying to destroy los angeles and California with fecal matter all over the streets. And the economy in shambles. You can thank democratic party leaders for this, as well as the la times.
😂It ain’t gonna go down unless they lower the amount of cycles the test run on. More cycles more probability of a positive🤷🏽♂️ Funny how people don’t know or ignore this fact 😂. But they’ll keep blaming the people that didn’t wear masks or whatever they want. More cycles=more+
For Thanksgiving this year, I stayed home away from family & friends. Whilst I ate a turkey sandwich & hot chocolate, I listened to my downstairs neighbor have a party, counted her door opening x 12 times. We need tougher measures, people don’t care.
To all those who wish “not to comply” that is your choice. My cousin felt the same and thought this was all a hoax. She died of COVID this morning leaving behind 3 children - 12, 10 and 3. I’m hurt and I’m angry as hell. I suppose it is all a choice in the end!
Why don't you call them what they are? Nazis who want to lock people in their homes and deny their freedom. They should be dealt with same way Nazis in Germany were. And Joe Hitler Biden as well
I am comfortable with people of LA living with their choices for government and health as long as they stay there. Stop spreading the californication mental illness to the rest of the nation. People are morons and impressionable.
Please remember. The virus has a 99.7% survival rate. Not everyone who gets it will die. Look at the data. Ask yourself how many coughs or colds do you get in a normal year? Take supplements. If you are elderly or vunerable, mask up,social distance,stay home.
We just need to bite the bullet and fully lockdown like China did early on. Police the streets and get this shit over with! Too many idiots feeling their liberties are in question but liberty doesn’t matter if you’re dead.
If at first you don’t succeed. Fail, fail, and fail again. This isn’t virology or science driving these decisions. We call it Fascism. California USA
Pro lockdown folk are a special type of stupid. You’re using outdated methodology with old data. This isn’t March 2020. Hospitals are open, medical technology has advanced and we know the at risk group. Time for innovation and smart thinking. Lockdowns don’t work... fact!
I’m going to keep obnoxiously sharing this link to the science showing that government interventions are ineffective at preventing coronavirus transmission until it becomes the new SJW mission to stop hut downs. BringBackBrunch
Anyone still lives in LA?..amazing
Stay at home means what for homeless?
NO WE WILL NOT OBEY THE NON MD WHO LOOKS LIKE A WALKING CORPSE.
A tougher one The current one isn’t even supported by the research and science!!! What the hell are these morons doing?
Fuck your mask and social distance. We Californians will not COMPLY. We aren’t 🐑🐑🐑🐑
🐑 baaaaahhhhhh
Do what you gotta do
“Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” Isn’t that the definition of insanity?
Closing bars and indoor dining is far too little. The so called new situation over mid-December is embarrassingly insufficient... Is this is the best the State can do?
“...we didn’t have the science around masking and distancing.” But you knew it was a respiratory disease.
Ok, and what is going to happen when (not if) the cases continue to climb even after more restrictions are put in place? Are the city overlords going to ration breathing? 🙄
California is goin to go bankrupt
Half-assed stay at home orders won't work. Why would the County even allow workers to go back after a holiday where idiots insisted on traveling & gathering?
Lame
Unfortunately they can’t do a lockdown similar to what they did in March unless the government nuts up and gives people monthly stimulus checks.
People were still moving everywhere during the first lockdown
Dear State Governor
What a ridiculous article. GavinNewsom & the LACity know they’ve failed to protect the city by NOT doing a strict lockdown months ago, by not educating the ppl who live there. And the ppl of LACity failed themselves by minimizing a deadly pandemic, as has the entire US
If only LA County was this tough on crime....
You don't have to be all that conscious to see the THINLY VEILED threat. You were MEANT to see it.
the rioting in MN, OR, GA, and others was designed with this in mind. Go along with us, or we'll burn your store. Go along, or we'll smash your property. Go on, or we'll assault you in the street. Its not about any virus. its about socialist, globalist power.
Why the outrage? People should learn obedience, after all, the purpose is to protect them!
LA County just doesn't want its residents to beg for COVID relief, they want them to grovel.
' California is on track to double its cumulative death toll by the spring — from the current tally of more than 19,000 to more than 37,000 by March 1.
Excited to share this item from my etsy shop: This is Tyranny - Snug-Fit Polyester Face Mask
Why don’t they tell us our to better our immune system Instead they tell us to stay inside and wear a mask which will worsen our immune system
“You kids behave or you’re grounded.” - The Nanny State
OR WHAT?
No thanks nazi
I heard the regular flu is spiking to and so is the suicide rate
It will go up because the incubation IS two weeks. Locking us up DOES NOT WORK. Isolation, loneliness & stress WILL CAUSE MORE DEATHS BUT FROM SUICIDE. Shall I have my family SUE the dumba$$ BarbaraFerrer because this isn't based on science?
Just stay home ....
Lockdowns don’t work! California has the harshest lockdowns in the nation AND the highest cases. Yet idiot leadership shrugs and threatens worse lockdowns. They have no idea what they’re doing. Have a plan b! Mix in some forward thinking.
You can't stop or slow down a virus. Its going to be everywhere vaccine or not. We have vaccines and shots for other vir us', yet they are still around..maybe they need to let ppl out around others to help
I think at this stage there needs to be a new approach to campaign against COVID19. All these 'public health orders' are predicated on the idea of one's action to stop spread to others. But honestly it really hasn't work other than punishing businesses.
L0⁹⁹9
SoCal is tough when it comes to restrictions , Lets say on Average, A place of business has 300 000 - 500 000 people ... Thats alot of work to maintain 6ft social distances
Day 260, still have not met, seen, heard from, or even heard of a single person with Covid-19 in Los Angeles.
Calling for a citizen boycott to stop these illegal acts....
Meanwhile who cares if thousands commit suicide or thousands die because of missed cancer screenings. Let’s have another lockdown because they worked so well in the spring. 🙄
...If anyone tries to impose a curfew on me, a functional house arrest, *while bars restaurants gyms and churches are open*, I can promise non-compliance. I wear a mask, I'm in a vaccine trial, and I'm a first responder who goes to multiple jobs every day. I do what I see fit.
Keep these idiots out of LA county and we may have a chance!
Bunch of freaks wtf!!! 10 million people and less than 20k deaths that mayor should be fired. When did LA become a bunch of left wing lunatic socialists?
You do the math here people
Ffs. This only encourages them to come to Vegas.
Covid death percentage in Wyoming, fake experts, fake news, fake numbers
I wonder which two states have the least restrictions in the chart below. A hint, they’re orange. LA’s restrictions are voodoo rituals to make you feel safe, but they don’t actually make you safe. They sure do a good job destroying lives, though.
Imagine if GavinNewsom and the rest of the HypocriteDemocrats had lived by the rules they laid upon us peons.
I wonder how FL and GA are escaping this catastrophe without any such order? Oh, I know, because these measures don’t control the virus.
I wonder if the thousands of homeless people are staying home as well?
Lockdowns can not slow COVID19, it is a foolish conceit.
Stop mass testing!!!
LegendaryEnergy
You want us to stay home? pay us to stay home! Whos gonna pay my rent, bills and feed me? The $1200 is long gone from when I sat on my ass at home for 3 months, 8 months ago and LA isn't cheap, what do they expect people to do? Our government is a joke, both reps and dems.
This is bullshit
WeWillNotComply Do not bow to these orders West Coast! This is tyranny. Expose their threats & defend your liberty. OathBreaker police, you better back off before you wake a sleeping giant. Either stand with the people or you will be counted an enemy of Humanity. plandemic
C'mon, LA, refuse to comply!
People are no longer listening. It's taken too long for the virus to run through & burn out or for us to have a vaccine. People have tuned out. I see people without masks, not doing social distancing every day. I have to work tomorrow & take metro. I'll bet it's like that then.☹

Locked behind a paywall..
Coming from a State in Australia that is coming out of our 2nd wave,0 cases for 29 days I know the C19 experience. We had a curfew, masks, restrictions on hospitality and retail, these actions work,no miracles, low cost, major benefits.I get the issues, I implore you do similar.
🙏❤️
Which means absolutely nothing. What more can they close? Lmaoooo
They’ll pussy out again.
Stop testing. No spikes. Take away politicians' salary, too, covid disappears the next day.
Totalitariunism. Wake up California.

It worked so well the first time.
I honestly don't know why it hasn't happened already. People take it for a joke 🙄 😒. Cases steady rising and its like there are no consequences so people continue to do wtf they want. USA has the worst Covid-19 guidelines and the cases continue to sky rocket.
Uk is in lockdown and govt can't control it. Same old twats ignoring respect for life. In Britain they are called leavers in America they called republicans 🤣
Is Mayor Snitch going to get rid of the parking laws again or is the city going to piss off all the residents for the holidays?
thanks
