L.A. County ‘with all certainty’ will keep stay-at-home orders in place through July
By Colleen Shalby, LA Times, May 12, 2020:
Los Angeles County’s stay-at-home orders will “with all certainty” be extended for the next three months, county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer acknowledged during a Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday.
Story continues below advertisementFerrer, though she didn’t issue an official order, said that timeline would only change if there was a “dramatic change to the virus and tools at hand.”
“Our hope is that by using the data, we’d be able to slowly lift restrictions over the next three months,” she said. But without widely available therapeutic testing for the coronavirus or rapid at-home versions that would allow people to test themselves daily, it seems unlikely that restrictions would be completely eased.
Ferrer’s comments came shortly after Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, warned Congress that states that push too quickly to ease orders could undo progress that would trigger an outbreak. Fauci said a 14-day decline in cases is the major checkpoint that states should meet before reopening.
In L.A. County, confirmed cases and deaths have continued to rise, even though beaches in the county are set to reopen on Wednesday, just days after the county lifted restrictions on hiking trails, parks and golf courses and allowed curbside pickup at nonessential businesses. But Ferrer warned Tuesday that further loosening of the rules will be slow.
But how people can use the sand will look different. Face coverings will be required when not in the water, and sunbathing won’t be allowed. Only active recreation — surfing, running, walking and swimming — will be permitted. Coolers, chairs, umbrellas and any of the other accessories that typically dot the shoreline should be left at home.
The update to L.A.’s stay-at-home orders comes as officials try to satisfy two needs: restarting the economy under a new normal while also ensuring that the resurgence in activity doesn’t upend progress in the fight against the coronavirus.
There has a big push in recent weeks to reopen the state’s economy, which has been hurt by the stay-at-home orders. Gov. Gavin Newsom last week announced new protocols for retail stores and some workplaces to reopen.
Under the plan, some in-restaurant dining, car washes and shopping malls could also be allowed to reopen in coming weeks if public health officials in a county are able to demonstrate that the spread of the virus has stabilized and that they have adequate testing and hospital capacity.
Some rural counties that have seen relatively few cases are likely to be able to meet those benchmarks more quickly than urban counties such as Los Angeles.
A Times data analysis last week found most big California counties are not close to meeting Newsom’s standards. The Times conducted an analysis to see which counties could pass just the first twocriteria — whether deaths have stopped in the last 14 days, and whether there is no more than one case per 10,000 residents in that same time period.
Most of California failed that test. In fact, 95% of Californians live in counties that don’t meet that standard, The Times analysis found. Not a single county in Southern California nor the San Francisco Bay Area met the criteria.

Newsom suggested Friday that the guidelines would be later modified on a statewide basis, allowing larger counties hit hardest by the outbreak to also reopen more broadly. “Over the next few weeks, we’ll be making subsequent announcements for the entire state, not just those that meet those more restrictive criteria,” Newsom said.As other California regions have seen a decline in the number of reported infections and COVID-19-related deaths, L.A. County, the state’s most populous, continues to see growth on both fronts. The county reported Monday an additional 566 people who tested positive for the virus, and an additional 39 deaths, bringing the death toll to 1,570. L.A. County’s death count accounts for more than half of the state’s total.
Officials have noted that the numbers reported at the start of the week are typically lower, largely because testing is not at full capacity on weekends.
More than 240,000 of L.A. County’s 10 million residents have been checked for the virus and roughly 12% — more than 32,000 — have been infected. Officials have been encouraging all residents, even those without symptoms, to get tested.
Officials have said that social distancing has helped slow the spread of the virus, but also have warned that it remains contagious.
“It’s safer to stay at home. COVID-19 has not changed,” Ferrer reminded residents on Monday.
Some neighboring counties that are easing restrictions also continue to see increases in cases and deaths. Riverside County, where officials voted last Friday to lift requirements for face coverings, reported 150 new cases Monday and 12 additional deaths.
In Orange County, 55 more cases were reported as the number of hospitalizations — a count that fluctuates by the day depending on how many of the county’s hospitals report statistics — hovers near 200.
Meanwhile in Santa Clara County, which was once the hottest spot for infections in the state, the number of cases has declined. Officials reported two additional cases Monday and zero deaths. Santa Clara is one of six Bay Area counties that have extended shelter-in-place orders.

Has the stay-at-home order reduced urban crime across Californication? Or increased some kinds of crime while reducing others? I’d imagine now would be an ideal time to commit armed robberies — no one is going to question anyone wearing a mask and gloves.

No. Crime is SURGING as they release more crimnals from prison to “protect them from the virus.” Employers are not hiring. They have no money. People are not actively taking them in so they commit more CRIME.

You can always count on LOW IQ Maxine Waters to state the obvious…
“Impeach 45” etc… that has been their game plan since day etc.. She doesn’t have
the intelliegence to even claim she cares about their well being. She’s too DUMB to even
pretend about it. She wants to bankrupt our country and make people crazy like she is.
Maxine Waters: Trump, Protesters ‘Should Be Ashamed’ —
We Don’t Want Businesses ‘Opened Back Up’

…
Waters said, “You know our governors are under great stress. The protests that have been organized, the protests trying to intimidate our governors to open up everything are protests where the people participating in that should be ashamed of themselves. They should not be encouraged in any way. They should not be encouraged from the top leadership of this country to go out and do that.”
(Are voters BULLYING their betters along with TOTAL GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCE?)
She continued, “I know the pressure is on. I know that you’re trying to hold the line. I want you to hold the line. I don’t want to see these establishments opened back up. I want the federal government to join with the cities and the states to support these families in every way that we can. I do want a moratorium on rent evictions. I have a huge bill. I have a $100 billion bill to pay the landlords. We don’t want them to risk their properties, many of them have bought a small number of units, ten units, four units as retirement property. I know that they need to pay their mortgages. I am going to absolutely see to it that they are reimbursed, that they are paid for the moratorium on evictions on their apartments.”

I am so glad that the dumbass dimocrats in Cali voted for the idiots. They get what they deserve, high taxes, low services and ILLEGALS that are catered to more than a US citizen. Three more months of this crap and there will be riots in the streets. Can’t wait.

The remarkable thing is how Democrats started out ridiculing and opposed travel restrictions to prevent this virus from spreading here, and ridiculed concerns about this virus after it arrived here, and seemed to do all that could be done to make sure it spread, then, once the bodies started piling up they shifted to a fear campaign. The whole purpose of this was to murder enough old people to cause enough fear to “justify” voting by mail. The people who released the virus knew exactly what it would do, and that’s why they made sure the body count started in a nursing home (high mortality rate). The Democrats have been murdering old and medically frail people so they can cheat in the next election.
If the virus itself is a complete hoax, the entire world is in on the hoax. It’s a real virus that primarily kills old and medically frail people. It was the perfect virus at the perfect time for a smear and fear campaign…like magic.

Elon Musk is packing up his Tesla factory and moving to Texas. Cali loses about a billion in taxes and billions in payroll. Texas gain billions in new economic activity and jobs for out of work oil workers who know how to be productive and not sit on their asses. We win, Cali loses and sinks further beneath the waves. What’s next? SpaceX? Best remedy for the Cali fever is to not feed it.

Any bets on how long the loyal democrat party voters will stay lockstep with orders to spend their California summer vacations closed up in their houses? No beaches, no Universal theme park, no Disneyland, no movie theaters, not so much as a fricking sno-cone stand…Bad Orange Man left the decision to re-open up to the individual states; might as well have given them a length of just enough rope

To the Democrat voters, you are having your taste of your Socialism/Communism you keep voting for so how do you like it? This is a mild taste of it! You almost are there but remember one thing. You can vote your way into this but you will have to shoot you way out! Lose the 2nd Amendment and you are history like they are hoping for! remember it took ten years in Venezuela to see what they have today
