Isn’t L.A. full of liberals who Obey the rules, get all their shots, and be Good Little Citizens? Why is COVID raging?
Los Angeles Again Nearing Covid Thresholds For Universal Indoor Mask Mandate In Public Spaces
Another 4,744 Covid infections were reported today by Los Angeles County. That’s up from 4,353 yesterday, continuing a surge in daily cases that could soon lead to a renewed requirement for people to wear masks in all indoor public spaces.
The county has been logging steady increases in daily infections and hospitalizations since the beginning of November. As of Friday, the county’s average daily number of new infections over the past seven days was 3,053, up a little under 50% from the 2,121 average a week ago. (snip)
L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said Thursday that the rising case and hospitalization numbers have moved Los Angeles County from the “low” Covid community activity level to the “medium” category, as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She said the county is on pace to reach the “high” level in a matter of days, when the rate of new cases reaches 200 per 100,000 residents. The rate is currently 185 per 100,000 residents.
The move to medium does not prompt any immediate changes to public health mandates, such as indoor masking — which is already “strongly recommended” by the county.
But masking could again become mandatory indoors in a matter of weeks, Ferrer said.
And masking will do what? It did just about nothing when it was first imposed in 2020, and did nothing through 2021. There were potentially more deaths and infections during masking. I would posit because the talking points made it seem as if masks would keep people safe, so, they got too close to other people too often, were shaking hands, hugging, and more.
“In some ways this surge is likely to be different — we know more about Covid, have tools to help mitigate severe outcomes, and we are more aware of symptoms and when to take action. On the flip side, this will be the first winter where we are facing rising levels of Covid, with emerging new strains we know less about, along with unusually high flu and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) activity.”
Yes, we do know more. We know what should work and not work. Masks do not work. Especially when the majority who get COVID in any form will feel sick for a few days then be fine. Keep your distance, wash your hands, don’t touch your face, cover your coughs and sneezes, if you feel sick, stay home, get tested. To hell with the masks.
You know all the good little liberals will Comply if masking is reimposed, though, right?
Now that the doors are being blown off Twitter (and thereby the other social media tyrants) what are the chances that now we know the DNC collaborated with the feds to steal the 2016 election dowd and his fellow traitors will admit we need an audit?
In order to “save democracy” we need to save free speech. Censorship, hate speech, wokisms and other lies and obfuscations are not the American way. Sadly they have become the democommie way.
Trump/Fuentes ’24 (Thank you dowd) You do realize most of us never heard of Fuentes until you nazis made a big deal out of Trump having lunch with the dude. Even now who the hell cares? Does the fact that pedo joe met with that freak Dylan Mulvaney make the pedo also a transexual pervert? (which is more likely for an existing pedo groomer like joe than a guy like TRump who has many Jews in his family and is friends with Netanyahu.
Elon Musk just censored Trump acolyte Kanye’s free speech rights, suspending him from twitter for merely posting a swastika with the Star of David.
When did Musk become anti-speecher?? Either all speech is free or no speech is free!
No way did Kanye (Ye) violate the Constitution, yet Musk gave in to the ‘wokes’ and censored him. Shame!
Does Musk value his income over free speech?
Fuentes/Trump ’24 “Take America Back from the Communists, Negroes, Jews and Perverts!”
Love the faux outrage, Rimjob.
It suits you.

Bwaha! Lolgf
It is impressive. He is completely lacking in knowledge about display of certain symbols.
Do you approve of absolute free-speecher Musk canceling Kanye (Ye)?
Jeff,
I hate to tell you this, but I don’t know what Twitter is, never used it and don’t care one bit as to what happens there. Just think, if you spent half your time on your corporation as you do in other people’s issues, your company would be thriving.
daffy,
I’m with you! Never used it, never will.
Thank you for your concern.
Either all speech is free or no speech is free!
That’s a stupid, ignorant statement even by your standards. Another ad absurdum silly leftist arguing from a stupid position.
Fuentes/Trump ’24 “Take America Back from the Communists, Negroes, Jews and Perverts!”
For whatever reason Dr Teach supports the spread of respiratory diseases. Weird.
He falsely claims that masks are worthless, yet during the worst of the Covid pandemic with social distancing, hand washing and masking influenza infections were non-existent.
Did you know you can have Covid and influenza at the same time? Do yourselves a favor and wear a good mask crowded indoor places, especially if Covid and/or influenza infections are high in your area. Wear your MAGAt hat so other ‘patriots’ won’t mistake you for a pussy leftist.
If Biden was serious he would subsidize the production of red ‘Trump 2024‘ masks!!
The mask are worthless. But you will come up with some worthless article that means nothing. But, why does this bother you so much?
We are bothered by disinformation spread by you and Mr Teach.
BTW, neither you nor Mr Teach supplied any evidence, but that’s par.
Jeff,
What we can’t understand is why you and the other pansy liberals get the frights over a minor illness.
daffy doc,
A ‘minor’ illness that killed over 1 million patriotic Americans and still kills a few hundred a day! Chronic (long) Covid seems to cause lingering morbidity.
The number of new cases/day has doubled over the past 19 days. Deaths/day have jumped to 400 day, which is much worse than the flu.
Did you skip the day they taught medicine in medical school?
He million equals less than 0.3%, very minor.
According to most connies, the biggest problem facing Americans is homicide committed by black males. Roughly 12,000 per year or 0.004%.
At the current rate of Covid deaths (the pandemic is over!!) some 10 times more Americans will die from it than from getting shot by a black gangbanger.
Even the tame Covid is worse than the flu.
Dear Elwood:
No. The deaths haven’t doubled. The last figure was 33 for the US, around 1600 worldwide.
Have new cases increased? Yes. Cold weather, people inside, etc., etc.
Now, do masks help? Yes. Just look at the deaths per million of the Asian counties who wear masks as compared to the west. It’s about 7 or so to 1.
You Lefties still don’t understand. People hate mandates. They like to be asked.
Jeff,
Med school is only 4 years. Altogether it takes about 10 years to make a doctor, depending on training selected. But in that time you are taught not to get hysterical. You would not make it.
James,
Please check your stats on Covid deaths.
You Righties still don’t understand. People hate dying.
If a store says wear a mask to enter would you barge in anyway or find a mask-free store or just wear an f’ing mask?
Physicians are like auto mechanics or computer repairers, but have political power in the US (but less than they used to).
Dear Elwood:
Here’s the stats. Note the 33 deaths yesterday, 8521 new cases.
Evidently you don’t read well. It should be obvious that I favor masks but hate mandates. Would I comply with a request? Of course.
The problem is many sided. The Left told so many lies and changed the story so often that many people didn’t accept the fact that masks do help. How much? Some. Result? A confused public being screamed at doesn’t just fall in line.

Dear James,

Both of these sources show daily deaths from the Covid in the hundreds.
You’re making excuses to preserve your biases.
Evidently you don’t research well.
