County health officials are keeping a close watch on COVID-related hospitalization numbers, warning that continued increases could lead to another indoor mask-wearing mandate in public spaces.
The county could move into the "high'' category as early as this week, if the weekly rate of new infections reaches 200 per 100,000 residents. As of last Thursday, that rate was 185 per 100,000 residents, county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said last week.
Fearmongering
People get the booster shot!
Utter nonsense
Black_Action Not Me. I'll never wear another fucking mask
Just hold your breath around people just like Ca politicians did when they took pictures. Should work right ? fearmongering
I mean it makes sense, we’re in free flu season ☹️
No
I'll mandate my middle finger in a mandators face 🤗
Until too many in our society stop being selfish and not willing to do what is right for the good of everyone.. we'll be in this disastrous situation
If people would stay home and they were sick we would it be giving it to everybody again
Up down up down up down. Make people put on the masks again and you'll see some real violence.
It’s the flu season stop ✋ the bull S..t
I thought we were done seeing that ghost ferrera
It is over. It’s called the flu now
City_of_Anaheim people are tee teeing all in the scrubs because they are stuck in traffic to see Dave and Chris. This is a sad way to greet people who come to visit Anaheim. No traffic control!
No need for a mask mandate! Wont do it! It’s a virus like cold & flu and there are plenty of treatments now
Covered California continue doing racist movement and discrimination, removing people health insurance intentionally.
Because trump let it get out of hand
Bullsmack! Stop spreading fear!
Ridiculous. Fake. Sad. Specially seeing how many people fall for this BS.
It’s the common cold for crying out loud. Stop fear mongering.
I never stopped following all protocols and staying up on my vax. Still haven't gotten it.
It’s called flu season, news flash it will happen again next winter 🥶
Best of luck enforcing that. I certainly won’t be following it. And since nobody in LA goes to jail…..there’s basically no way to enforce it 😂
I’m glad walking by an LAUSD classroom today every student had a mask on 🤦🏻♂️
It’s the flu. Get a grip.
Yes the Dems desire for another lockdown
Droppings of the male bull bine….is anyone dying? It’s just an attempt to keep the population under control..
Oh corse we will it’s really good for promoting the new world order
It’s 2023 ffs reported as spam
People vaccinating less and masking less. Of course.
gg
LA is wack!!!!! I live in San Bernardino and we all fine over here
🙄
“Surging”? ABC7 apparently got the memo. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No! The flu is back. Fake news. This is why I don't watch it anymore.
Is Covid surging or is it people who have colds/flu/RSV possibly unable to treat it due to cold/flu Med shortages & being more susceptible to contracting Covid. I know lots who had a cold/flu/other respiratory infection then tested + 1-2 wks later bc of weakened immune systems.

Why are we still testing people
I been wearing my mask ever since Only smart people know this shit ain’t going away because some of y’all is nasty azz hell 🤨 Thinking shit just went back to normal overnight 🤨
I seen people go to the bathroom and not wash their damn hands And that is GROWN AZZ PEOPLE TOO!!🤨😡
It's a super cold from refugee exposure
Well yeah they are still using expiremental drugs to 'fully vaccinate' at 30% efficiency 😆
LA would be the only county in the country to do it. Even the rabid mask cultist PH director in Santa Clara County said that they don’t foresee bringing back a mask mandate.
Mask mandate deez nuts
The spikes in heart attack deaths have tracked with surges of COVID-19 infection—even during the presumed less-severe Omicron phase of the pandemic.
The cases jumped in the cold season sounds like flu
Stop trying to keep Barbara Ferrer relevant🤡
Because I am not sick
Oh course we seen this coming your the news spreading joy and destruction everywhere you go!! Maybe if you told the truth about this we would not hate you so!! Everyone is going to test positive it’s the test your giving that’s the problem
Thanks to almost everyone acting like COVID is over, refuse to take even basic precautions, and only 15% of vaccinated people have their boosters. It’s NEVER going away.
LA hospital docs say majority (60-90%) of 'covid' hospital positives aren't there for covid but incidentally tested positive while at the hospital for something else (pcr shows + 3 mths). ABC7 reporting it without acknowledging this is blatantly inaccurate and bad reporting.
All these grown ass people crying over wearing mask 😷😂 pathetic .
Joe Biden didn't stop COVID. Every illness and death is on his hands. Joe Biden didn't protect us like he said he would!
The pandemic that has never left us it has mutated and spread that the many doctors that are still working to solve .
Nope. I guess the flu will take a back seat again, I feel bad for the flu over the past few years, it used to be the main winter attraction.
Screw the masks and the mandates!!! Not going back.
Yes, because the virus isn’t going away.
Mask mandate should return, nationwide. Just as important, likely more so, indoor air purification should be mandated too. Yeah that's right, or this never stops ravaging us, worse than HIV. Far worse. I'm talking the CorsiRosenthalBox!
I’m not surprised! That mask mandate should havre been longer!
People have the sniffles in the winter time? Better shut the whole world down!
Not like this since it is an endemic.
I done think the American ppl believe that Covid is a serious virus. Some of them don’t care until it hit home & that is sad. Covid is going to be here forever if we don’t work together to control this deadly virus
Here we go again ! The flu is back ! I mean Covid !
Don't care... let it run its course. And like Drago said...
Why does everyone act surprised, so far each winter Covid gets high, and then mask come back and then by late February we can get rid of the mask. The vaccinated shouldn’t be punished, the unvaccinated ain’t helping the country so they should be fined or punished
But masks are ineffective! Plus, many people don’t know how to use them properly or don’t wash hands before removing/repositioning/replacing masks. Wash your hands constantly 🤲 🧼
Lies lies lies lies
I will not be wearing a mask
Mask mandates make covid spread worse.
fireferrer mdsOVERphds $500K’s just to push masks Waste of tax $’s hire a REAL DOCTOR and staff our hospitals.
And just like the last round it will be the unvaccinated who get seriously ill and hospitalized. Usually the same people who go to work sick on a crowded bus and refuse to wear a mask coughing and sneezing on everyone. If sick stay home, hospitals kill.
It's called flu season? Ever heard of it? Also, know the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. How about getting some vitamin C/D, fresh air and exercise?
Ok? Are people dying like they were? No it’s the fuckin flu! Get over it!
NO
Communism coming on in! Thank lord every other state don’t scare it’s ppl into that
NyQuil?
🤡
I’ve been noticing a daily spray has been happening for about 6 weeks now. Seems awfully coincidental that the virus is back 🥊
I thought the truth about masks was known at this point
It’s never going away and I refuse to live my life in a perpetual cycle of mask mandates.
This is news? I guess ABC 7 has nothing better to report on. Don’t believe them. Anyone who has had it has just had the common cold. Democrats love to twist stories for control.
People get sick more people have the flu it’s not Covid stop trying to scare people
Fauci and the liberals releasing more toxins into the air
I can't wait for the next round of entertaining choreographed nurse dance videos
😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂they’ll never stop trying huh!! 🤣🤣😂
Notice how we aren’t getting the raw numbers…just percentages. Media needs to do better!
Oh so much fear of the COVID
FAKER!!! lapublichealth
It’s the holidays and we’re all super stressed out about bills. By all means freak everyone out by suggesting their freedom should be taken away over a cold as well. Maybe you can get some more suicides.
I guess the fourth booster shot isn’t working. 🤔🤦♂️🤡
People are committing suicide because they can’t pay rent
People are ODING on fentanyl in tents during the holidays
Children are ODING on fentanyl in school
You deserve to be fined for this trash
If you can’t understand the immune system do not report it
You should be investigating corruption in public health
SPOILED BRATS
You are ignorant ignorant ignorant
No you only care about getting clicks by crying wolf.
You are not aware enough of current events to understand that homelessness tripled after the coronavirus?
Are you aware of the mass rioting in China? It’s caused by coronavirus.
Homelessness is record high. Why are you making up a fake emergency for attention?
Thanksgiving holiday surge. Who would have thought.
It’s like they spray it in the air right around the holidays
Well maybe if we are stuck at home again for another year it'll bring the crime rate down
What happened to the days when you got the flu, you called in sick for a day, then you went on with your life. Why is everything a public health emergency now?
its almost like it is seasonal, infects thousands of people. elderly, infants and immunocompromised higher risk. hmm what did we used to call this?... ah yes the flu.
Stop testing people!!! Period
Those 5 vaccinations and masks are really helping huh? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shove your narrative up your ass yes?
It’s called the damn flu! Um hello! It’s flu season!!!
So the “vaccines” failed? Shocker.
So which is it?!
You the media contributed by promoting concerts, sporting and over events and now you’re acting completely shocked this 💩 virus isn’t over. 🙄👎🏼
And after all the vaccinations here we are, something ain’t working.
COMMUNISM
Whatever someone does not want vac let them go!
Yep everybody around me getting it
Shut Down
lockdown the country! & start universal basic income
masks don't prevent transmission
What's the definition of insanity?
It's tearing through college sports as well: In just the past 24 hours, 6 NCAA basketball games have been canceled or postponed due to COVID. Plus, 42 college basketball teams have had games canceled or postponed due to COVID (or the vague 'team illness') in less than 3 weeks
As long as “health experts” won’t acknowledge there are early treatments that prevent serious illness and the public plays along this will drag out. Stop taking faulty tests.
Glory to God Jesus Christ in heaven and earth forever and ever Bible Acts 3:6: I command you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth coronavirus and all diseases to dissappear forever and ever Thank you dear Lord Jesus Pray always,Repent now,Read the Bible 72 years old grandma
How can a mandate be enforced at this point? Who’s going to check if the mask is an N95? Will we drag people out of buildings for not wearing a compliant mask? Wear a mask if you want to, but let’s not go back to mandates. They never worked and they won’t now.
Which hospitals are filling up with covid? you can’t name one 😂🤡
Anyone that didn’t see this coming made a choice. 😅😅😅
Lock it down folks. Just two weeks to flatten the earth I mean curve
It’s BioWarfare! They got us good!
Upfront! The vaccine isn’t real! Everyone who is listening to the government, your getting a vaccine that doesn’t protect you!? Everyone thinks that vaccines are bulletproof! Your very wrong! GOODLUCK! Happy holidays.
Next time just cite the people in the comments section as to why we are still dealing with this. Instead of asking why, just post something about masks and cite the comments section as to why we will be wearing them.
There are therapeutics. Can we talk about that?
Vaccines have been proven ineffective, which would take away any argument for masks to “prevent the spread”. People choose to still wear masks alone in cars, dine with them, and so on. While others never put one on to begin with. Stop fear mongering and let people just live
If mask and vax didn’t work in 3 yrs why would they work now follow the actual science not political science
Is it sweeps right now?
Fear Porn
There's no mandate coming, only a polite request Why can't your station report facts abc7amy?
Sweet, more media scare tactics!
Good luck with the masks
The guy on the left is wearing his mask incorrectly.
24 Point Font, this sounds serious.
I did, just because there are so many selfish people in our world.
Here we go again. Click bait. Shove it
