LA Mayor Garcetti admits 'connection' between coronavirus outbreak and protests, after downplaying link

, was speaking at a press conference concerning the recent Black Lives Matter protests in Los Angeles when he was asked if the demonstrations were contributing to the spread of COVID-19.

“I talked again with Dr. Ferrer about that this morning. She does think some of the spread did come from our protests," he said. "It’s not the act of protesting – that’s a great and American thing to do no matter what your opinion is… but protesting without maintaining physical distancing, without wearing your mask, without having sanitizer – we just have to be smart.

Yes., you morons. Any large gathering is harmful. Like the one trump had and is also having tomorrow.

Why do these dud dem idiot mayors keep trying to explain it away - “oh yes we know - but we know that protesting is good & all American” - quit saying the same old crap w/the freaking smirk on your face - disgusting ❤️🇺🇸❤️

Is it to late to have one country with two territories? One territory for Americans and the territory for liberals. I hate thinking that there are tax dollars being spent on a group of people that so clearly hate this country. God Bless America and watch over the police

You wear a mask and think your safe? You don't remember the cdc saying this shit can live on your close or any surface for days? Man these people are getting more and more stupid.

Oooooooo revelation

Here's how you get covid 19 started again you put angry protesters in the the streets of every city in the United States it's not like there standing 6 feet apart so who is getting covid 19 again people 35 to 40 year old protesters this is not rocket science think for yourself .

The truth always comes out

Goes to show America that these Mayors and Governors who are Democrat work with Antifa and Black Lives MATTER, areworking agaisnt their citizens. ANTIFA always in the front rank of peaceful protesters when things go wrong.Look how much money has been given, they donthelp nobody

Ya think?

Yes yes yes Fox News keep trying spine this ... you can’t BS out of this .... let’s talk about Trump now. Why the F wearing a mask is a political issue? Why are we 1 in the would in Covid19 cases? Why does Putin own Trumps?

The HIGHEST EMPLOYMENT since WORLD WAR ONE!!!

You needed someone to tell you that? It really wouldn’t change anything because covid doesn’t vote. My modeling attributes 12% of spread to protesters. Besides we reopened too early. Shows 70% on the reopening. Guess what? 99.9% of cases directly linked to incompetence.

When he says RIOTERS, TOO... THEN I might LISTEN. DrainTheSwamp MAGA

'His paternal grandmother, Juanita Iberri, was born in Arizona, one of 19 children born to an immigrant father from Sonora, Mexico and an Arizona-born mother whose father and mother were both Mexican. Garcetti's maternal grandparents were from Russian Jewish immigrant families.'

There has been for some time.

Southern states - prepare for hail, snow and winds. The Mayor admitted the gatherings at protests may have affected the COVID infection rates.

Wow. They WILL SAY IT in Cali. GoFigure DrainTheSwamp

Finally he sees the light.

Of course their is a connection! Good grief, anyone with a brain knows there is a connection.

Duh?

It about time he wised up!! So don’t punish those that weren’t out there!! Keep Ca. Open!!

Ya think?

But blaming bars and restaurants and punishing those businesses.

Shocker! MayorOfLA is a fool.

How would it be even a coherent thought that it didn't? My Lord do these people think we all have half a brain?

Trump boasting about Covid. “We did an awesome job. Anyone who wants covid can get some. Just come to one of my rallies. It’s free“ realDonaldTrump GOPChairwoman TrumpFailedAmerica

The dimly lit finally has the light turned on for a minute and says what we already know

Well there’s a news flash! Smh

Garcetti, you are disgusting person 🤡🤮

Such a ass

Ya think

Can’t be true !!!! 🙄 Duh

Dr. Barbara Ferrer is not a doctor first of all. And second of all ... no shit!!! Ya think?

L.A. mayor: Police shouldn’t be solution to everything'It's also about what we can do to make sure that police aren't always the solution to everything,' Mayor Garcetti says. 'To look at what we can do in a mental health crisis to have trained professionals ... who can roll out and maybe have better and more lasting outcomes than police.' Meanwhile, he sicks the police on everyone, for everything lol. What kind of crack this asshle smoked? Police officers cannot do everything. They shouldn't be used as a quick band-aid for situations that haven't been thought through.

They can't see that everybody eventually is in a group that is dependent on the other groups' cooperation. It usually is not a life and/or death situation. Which makes this an especially ugly time to be socially blind and uncaring. America - not so beautiful. Well they just about are, if you are talking about COVID 19!!
