Los Angeles County Department of Public Health officials are once again strongly recommending people to mask up as coronavirus cases are once again on the rise.
"Now it is strongly recommended that all individuals wear a high-quality mask that fits well in the following settings: in public indoor spaces; when using public transit, including buses, ride-shares, taxis and medical transport; correctional and detention facilities; and homeless and emergency shelters," said L.A. County Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis.
As of Thursday, the number of COVID-positive patients in county hospitals rose to 648, up from 589 the previous day. Roughly 40% of those patients are admitted for coronavirus-related issues, while the rest were admitted for other reasons, but tested positive at the hospital. They also suggest that the threat of newly-discovered variants, which are often more contagious, could spread rapidly from person to person, even those vaccinated.

How about NO!
lapublichealth destroyed public trust; we will NOT mask up again. You overplayed your hand.
Be good little sheep and put your mask on.

Not the first time they do this after an election. Obviously, it doesn’t poll well.
DO NOT COMPLY

Time to move on. Mask are a false sense of security.
Our Health depends on it 🤡

This is not the right approach anymore. We need to move on and let the virus take its course.

Why no acknowledgement of the wide array of symptoms? I have long Covid & yes, I have fatigue, but my most scary symptoms have been things like new onset chest pain, tachycardia, ...
