(L.A.) Mayor Garcetti announces new measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19
City of Los Angeles ^ | March 15, 2020 | Mayor Garcetti

Posted on 03/15/2020 11:31:21 PM PDT by L.A.Justice

On March 15, Mayor Garcetti put in place temporary restrictions to stop large numbers of people from gathering and staying in close proximity. These new restrictions will be effective through March 31, 2020, unless they are extended.

These include the temporary closure to the public, within the City of Los Angeles, of the following:

All bars and nightclubs that do not serve food; All movie theaters, live performance venues, bowling alleys, and arcades; All gyms and fitness centers; All private social clubs; In addition, all restaurants and retail food facilities will be prohibited from serving food to dine-in customers.

There are a few important notes and exceptions to the above order:

Restaurants, as well as bars and nightclubs that serve food, may continue to prepare and offer food to customers via delivery service or take-out; Houses of worship are urged to limit large gatherings on their premises and to explore and implement ways to practice their respective faiths while observing social distancing practices; Cafeterias in hospitals, nursing homes, or similar facilities will be allowed to continue operations; Grocery stores, pharmacies, and food banks will also be allowed to continue operations;

Everything we do right now will determine the outcome of this crisis. By keeping a safe distance from one another at this time, we can help to slow the spread of COVID-19 and avoid putting a dangerous strain on our hospitals and healthcare workers.

You can’t actually believe this garbage is true, can you? You have a bigger risk of getting into a car wreck than dying of Chinese coronavirus.

These are the same people who want us all crammed into urban areas and forced to use mass transit

I watched a few minutes of the debate last night. Both Joe and Bernie were pushing that to one degree or another..

This is anti-Irish. They don’t want St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

LOL! That’s what I was saying yesterday, the left loves this because they can indulge in their fantasy of utopia which is acting like they rule a totalitarian state. Next I can guess they will start rationing food, engage in collectivism, bread lines instead of toilet paper lines. Freakin ridiculous, only 0.0009% of the population in the USA has this virus that’s not much different from the flu.

A reasonable thread for once. We need more people pushing back on the hysteria here.

My daughter is a Nurse in the ER of a local hospital. She is on short term disability recovering from ACL surgery.

She told me last night of a phone call she received. Nearly the whole ER staff is sick. 14 individuals have been furloughed. They’re reusing masks & placing them in baggies. This is in Milwaukee . . .

Why ain’t they dying?? Give it time.

“...will be allowed to continue operations.”

The socialists are so benevolent.

Has their opinion on open borders and sanctuaries for illegals changed?

I completely agree with your post. I feel like I woke up in some bizarre Twilight Zone or something.

Under what authority can a mayor order a burger joint or a bar to close? Not asking you personally, just posting.

How about cleaning up human feces on the streets? Think that will help?
