Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti Closes Beaches to ‘Slow the Spread of COVID-19’ – Then Instructs People to Flock to Indoor Cooling Centers Amid Heatwave
Gateway Pundit ^ | April 25, 2020 | Cristina Laila

...Last month Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti forcefully shut down business by cutting off their water and electricity.

Garcetti also closed the beaches in LA to ‘slow the spread of COVID-19’ but the heatwave sitting over Southern California is putting people without air conditioning in danger...

Instead of allowing people to go outside in the sunshine and heat, he’s telling thousands of people to funnel indoors to cooling centers during a pandemic. Makes sense.

Okay.

Just have not seen reported temperatures.

Ft Worth (Texas y'all) has already seen 95 degrees this year, it just was not recorded as a "Heat Wave".

Okay, some Californians know hot, but how many live in Death Valley compared to the numbers of people living in NYC?

I’ve been to both California and NYC in the summer during heatwaves for each.

There is no comparison as to which is more wretched. NYC hands down.

You may be right, where I live it will hit 108 with 5% humidity during a Summer day, but cool down to 50 at night. I spent some time years ago in the Piney Woods of East Texas, where it was 80 degrees at 7am with 90% humidity. Just horrible.

I’ve heard that Alcoholics Anonymous meetings have been drawing large crowds since the lockdowns went into effect.

Californians do not know hot.

Excuse me??? You obviously have never been to CA at least not in the Summer. There are parts of the California deserts including the Central Valley that get extremely hot. Now granted, it rarely gets humid more than 20-30 percent, but it does get very hot.

I lived in CA for 98% of my life. Where we lived for 38 years got hot (90+ to 115) about in May until the beginning of October. Then there are the southern deserts, Palm Springs. Indio, etc get way up there in the 120 + range. So yes, it does get hot in CA.

Yeah, I helped a friend and his wife move in Indio on an August day when it was 119. His wife was a wretched person, also. It was a brutal day. (They got divorced) :o). I’ve been in lots of heat throughout the country...but I specifically remember that day.

I bet the AC units at the cooling centers are loaded with lots of nasty bugs being recirculated in the air.

Wow. That’s pathetic. Though it was hilarious to read the Twatter comments.

I loved the ones saying they will just say they identify as homeless if asked. LOL

Sunshine is the best medicine. UV kills the bug.

There are people that say its the humidity and not the heat. At 119 degrees, its the heat!

Which pretty much counteracts the effect of the air conditioning. They are pretty much breathing in the same warm, oxygen-depleted air that they just exhaled.

The mayor is instructing you not to go outside you may be cured of the virus or prevented from getting it

This faux-king mayor is really enjoying his self-anointed vast new power, isn’t he? Don’t be fooled by his lisp he is trying so desperately to hide. It’s going to take strong men — which we don’t seem to have enough of these days as evidenced by all the fear and outdoor mask-wearing — to wrest the power to suspend the Constitution and Bill of Rights away — a power he truly believes he has awarded to himself — from Garcetti and other Democrat/Left petty tyrants just like him.
