Fair to say that America's economic malaise will continue for many more months to come. What happens after that is anyone's guess.

Test

All states surging should do the same immediately. Get it under control.

You must say thanks to a top expert for help humanity, and she's saying to everyone COVID-19 truth! Source of coronavirus! God bless everyone! Take hard look this! Exclusive :

Californians held hostage.

Good! President Trump is a disgrace to this nation

The only thing he is trying to do ... is lower the curve... of Donald Trump's probability that he will get re-elected. It has NOTHING to do with anything else. VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT - SAVE THE NATION!!

997 out of 1000 recover from covid, and the 3 out of 1000 that do pass away from it are 70+ with preexisting conditions. This is ridiculous!

Whoa, it's almost like state governors have had this ability the whole time. Oh well, still Trumps fault right?

Competent leadership

Those are not restaurants. They are protest centers that serve food. Fight the power!

He should’ve never opened up California until September.

😂 Yeah! “Experts” say the riots didn’t spread Coronavirus! There is a reason that term now carries little value in America. 😉 If masks work and everyone is forced to wear them in those locations...no closures should be needed. When you look at locations...it looks political

i'm going to rename my bar 'protest' then i'll be allowed to open.

ARREST TRUMP

Whatever you say governor Want to “see my papers” Anything for governor

If people would wear their damn masks and social distance-shutdowns wouldn't be necessary.

No, no, no “Red Zone” too slow. Got to Ludicrous Zone!!!!!

Guess all those riots he condoned and participated in weren’t such a good idea in the middle of a pandemic!!!

Do the Math..ITS THE FLU

Blame it on illegal protests and looters !!!! COVID spreader...Liberal cities!!!

Election year maneuvers.

I though the color coded threat level stuff from the Bush years regarding terrorism was supposed be stupid, but now when this pinhead does it for COVID, nobody says “BOO!” You’re about to surpass your daddy for being a disgrace as a public servant, Eric the Clown, a REAL BOZO!

recallgarcetti

Oh well, to bad for LA.

Thank you for keeping us safe.

That is gud about the school situation. I hope SD does the same. 🙌💯❤

Analisa_Swan Mayor Garcetti,,,,where is your mask?

kiapolo808 not wearing a mask

But I was told that this is somehow Ron DeSantis's fault

As everyone else suffers the politicians continue to get rich off taxpayers money.

Wonder why?

And yet California has had the most strict lockdown. Hmm. Maybe it’s not so dire in Texas after all....

jlab980

nothing to do with the political leadership in that town, of course

Good job, LA.

Why aren’t you wearing a mask? Why isn’t your interpreter wearing a mask? And what’s up with these crowds 👇

Maybe the riots and protests during pandemic weren’t such a great idea.

The red zone?!? Sounds scary for sure.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dude is a lunatic....

Garcetti is an empty suit with zero clue. Pushes all the wrong buttons!

does this includes the protests? pretty sure they had nothing to do with the covid and there only be unconditional promotion of protests since we need them now more than ever.

HOW can they say protesting and rioting did not contribute to this? Fucking ridiculous.

Should Newsome or Garcetti win Best Actor?

Why? Bc the teachers don’t want to work? There’s no covid evidence for this

-Schools closed indefinitely -Defunding Police -Ending incarceration WHY are we paying taxes?

Would appreciate if the interpreter wasn't cropped out of frame

Lol. Ok dikkhead.

Gathered w/thousands of others, not in his own family in the street...

Is he going to fill the churches up with sand?

Hitler.

Florida, Texas, and Arizona should follow suit. COVID19

What is this, a Matthew Broderick movie now? Is he going to say we are at DEFCON 1 next?

BLMredzone

Import a few MORE thousand covid-19 people from Mexico - I'm sure THAT will 'help' your numbers!

Why won't you wear a mask

Go away! Give us money! We need money! You took our jobs away! You are the biggest red zone! We have to get rid of you to make it green!

Newsom’s wineries are open. You can’t get Covid at Newsom wineries or a protest it’s been scientifically proven.

You do nothing, or you do little, and you have nothing.

The Los Angeles Mayer had a good point about the condition in California and the schools. I agree on what he said.🙂🙂🙂🇺🇸🇺🇸😐😐

Most likely all states will be real soon in red zone. Another shutdown on the way..smh TrumpVirus TrumpCoronavirusFailure TrumpCoronavirusFailure TrumpVirus VoteTrumpOut VoteBiden VoteBlueNoMatterWho

The Left Democrats hate the United States. COVID19 RecallGavinNewsom

Democrats...

THREAT LEVEL MIDNIGHT!

I want my CA tax dollars back man. This is some Bull

Nothing to do with the protest though. Nope that was totally fine you boob

Announces a dude with no mask on...

Protests had no impact though.

How to get better: STAY HOME, WASH YOUR HANDS, DON'T BE STUPID, STAY HOME. Now, what part did you not understand?

🤡🤡

I think about 47 more months of shutdown should about do it.

If DISHLocalUSA doesn’t straighten up, I’m going to leave them over not having NFLRedZone1.

You were at a protest with thousands of people a couple weeks ago without a mask. Does this mean the virus is bad again?

What about Threat Level Midnight?

I wonder what exactly happened Peacefulprotest 🤔🙄🤷‍♀️

And it’s not even fall yet‼️

He’s going to fill all the businesses with sand

This you?

Weren’t they in a hurry to reopen, with all the beach parties and all? Why should I give a flying f**k about them? My family has sacrificed, quarantined, served as front line, lost loved ones & still maintained tha expected regulations. Anyone who feels invincible, fuck you.

Better blame who ? IStandWithFauci

'Everyone act like this is mid March! That the only people being tested are dragging their asses to a hospital to be tested and then being hospitalized. Everyone 'forget' that we are testing tens of thousands of people a day now! To keep the fear going!' Lol k.

We are in the red zone. Closer everything

Dear Governor: We are not locking down again. You do not have the Constitutional Authority to control our lives We will not comply. We will push through this and fight COVID. We will not surrender to it or the State. We are free by birth and not by the will of any Politician.

Me thinks this isn’t related to COVID.. DoesntPayToPrayOnKids

What zone color is for all the violence going on in his town? Oh wait, I am sorry, can't complain about the violence. It would be racist of me.

Wonder why

And Donkey is still stupidly claiming that testing CREATES the virus. FFS get rid of that village idiot and get this thing UNDER CONTROL!!!!

Eric Garcetti is destroying Los Angeles. Wake up folks!

COVID19

I suppose that means thousands of people of all ages are dying and more are likely to?

I thought this mayor was doing well

Is the media biased against “red” states:

Good thing you supported those protest and riots for weeks. 🤡
