The possible return of an indoor mask mandate in Los Angeles County due to rising COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations continues to loom as more than 10,000 new cases were reported over just a three-day period.

Los Angeles County reported more than 10,000 new COVID-19 infections from a three-day period ending Monday, continuing an upward trend in cases that has also pushed up virus-related hospitalizations.

The 10,089 new cases from the three-day period lifted the cumulative total from throughout the pandemic to 3,562,059. The county also reported 29 more COVID-related deaths from the three-day period, giving the county an overall death toll of 34,241. The seven-day average rate of people testing positive for the virus in the county was 12.5% as of Monday.

The current surge is being blamed largely on a pair of new variants of the virus, known as BQ.1 and BQ.1.1. Both are offshoots of the BA.5 variant that was blamed for rises in infection numbers earlier this year.

Nope not happening

Ha ha ha keep it up shoot for 100k next time get them real scared!!

fireferrer mdsOVERphds $500K’s just to push masks Waste of tax $’s hire a REAL DOCTOR and staff our hospitals.

LA county’s population is 9.8 million so that makes the 10,000 new cases just 0.102040816% of the total population, think about that.

case numbers are false flags! PCR cannot detect covid!

FAKER -NOT A DOCTOR!!! lapublichealth

It’s not a real thing.

Not doing that...nope

Lol disobey

I’m disappointed with urban vaxers who are not keeping up with their boosters and getting sick while wearing masks. Ya’ll have a responsibility to keep the public safe.

Fuck that.

Are you sure only 10,000how many are really sick!you keep pushing these numbers but don’t tell the real picture!why is that,why don’t you hush up for a spell your giving me a headache with this garbage!!

If you want to wear a mask wear one of your healthy and prefer not to don't! It should be the choice of the individual.

That’s good 👍

No. masks never left the LA🐑🐑Masked covidians abound. Tyranny!

Fimm

Do not comply

case numbers are false flags. Per Fauci:PCR tests cannot detect C19 viruses, just the flu!

Vaccinated people have a higher risk of catching the virus! If your vaccinated!? GOODLUCK. People who are vaccinated are just stupid, because they believe they are protected, and the government is helping and saving you. In reality, they aren’t. Happy holidays! Be safe!

meanwhile gavin was kissing the secretary of state tell us more how mandates will be forced again while the newsom super spreader is bouncing around swapping spit!!😂

Was deciding whether to take my next job in LA or Orange County. This makes it easy lol

😂😂😂😂😂

No!!

Not happening...

Lololol it’s called flu season

No

Enough already if the shots and masks haven’t worked for the past three years when are people going to say No More! Needs to be a choice. A mandate isn’t law.

The science is broken the covid is stronger than the science

Who cares, just ignore the “healthy looking” phd Dr Barbara Ferrer

Cue The Media Fear Porn 😂

I wear my mask, regardlesss

It's flu season

Mandated masks for the sniffles? Wtf lol

It's not a mandate it's a polite request enforced by nobody, stop with the fake news Elex_Michaelson
