Just weeks after the school mask mandate was lifted in California, Los Angeles County is seeing an increase in school coronavirus outbreaks, health authorities said Thursday.

There were 14 school outbreaks reported in the county in the seven-day period ending April 5, including 12 at elementary schools and two at high schools, according to the L.A. County Department of Public Health.

“We’ve more than tripled the number of new outbreaks at schools this past week, and we’re seeing similar numbers of outbreaks to what we experienced during the omicron surge,” L.A. County Health Director Barbara Ferrer warned.

14? FOURTEEN IN A WEEK? Among, what, a million school kids?

Not much of an outbreak and, as is typical when kids 'test' for the virus, NO DEATHS!

This is not news...

With enough testing you can keep a pandemic going on false positives alone.

I call BS on this.

They want it to look like masking works when everything tells us it doesn’t.
