Los Angeles is requiring essentially everybody in the city wear a face covering at all times whenever outdoors, a policy Mayor Eric Garcetti says will help the local economy reopen faster.
Garcetti announced the order on Wednesday evening, telling city residents: "Bring your mask with you whenever you leave your home."
Children under 2, as well as a limited number of individuals with disabilities, are exempt from the order, the mayor's office said in a press release.
"Face coverings help stop the spread of the virus," Garcetti, a Democrat, said in the release. "Wearing them whenever we’re away from home will create a meaningful layer of protection for people we might come into contact with, and that makes sense at this stage of our response to the crisis."
The order came shortly after Garcetti said that the city will "never be completely open" until scientists discover a cure for coronavirus.
The mayor at the time was partially walking back comments made earlier in the day by Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer, who said Tuesday that the city's stay-at-home order would be extended "with all certainty" for the next three months.

Inflicting pain on yourself then demand the fed govt reimburse for the economic damage.
The new normal.
‘If masks work, why not have jail and prison inmates wear them instead of turning them loose?”
OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!! You’re making too much sense! Nicely played.
In a couple of months while they are waiting in line at a soup kitchen for their one daily meal they will reflect on it and come to the conclusion that 'orange man bad'.

Good luck enforcing that. The cops would do nothing but write “Mask Tickets” all day long.
Totally against “The Science”.
You keep interjecting common sense and logic and you are liable to get ‘pounced on’ by all the EXPERTS...<: <: <:
Make a “mask” out of cheese cloth or burlap. Or better yet, screen door screen. LOL.
Vote rat, get tyranny. Like April showers and May flowers.
Make them stand with their noses in the corner and a dunce cap on their heads.
Absolutely refuse.
And if not, write “GFYourself Garcetti” on the mask.

I’m so glad I live east of the Orange Curtain (Orange County).
DannyTN is going to absolutely love this! Guaranteed, he’ll be all in! We have other FReepers as well who get a hard on over this stuff!
Prolonged fear and hysteria result in insanity.
Including homeless people?
There are far too many people invested in keeping this alive. If a governor came out and said people should stand on one leg and cluck like a chicken, they would do it.
“Before entering any retail store, school building, or government office, please stand on one leg to show you have balance, something someone with the virus may not be able to do. Then, cluck like a chicken to show that you don’t have a sore throat.”
I swear we’d have parking lots full of idiots that love being part of the crowd, total acceptance. It would be the line dancing and pride parade of the virus age.
The mayor should fire this ghoul immediately.
