The number of coronavirus cases and fatalities continued to climb this week in Los Angeles. But Mayor Eric Garcetti says the rate of increase was slower than in recent weeks, and initial data suggests the region’s curve is flattening and beginning to bend back down.

That’s why it will be especially important for Angelenos to stay indoors this weekend — even amid record-setting heat, Garcetti said in his virus briefing Friday.

The mayor reminded residents that all city and county beaches, trails and recreation facilities are closed.

“There is a direct correlation between what you do this weekend and how long this will take and how many lives we will lose,” he said. “Keep that in mind and do the right thing this weekend. If you go out and hit the beaches and the trails, the ‘Safer at Home’ orders will last longer, more people will be sick and more will die. But if you stay home this weekend, our case numbers will drop and it will stop the spread of this virus and be able to start reopening the city sooner.”

Yeah, right. I have family down in LA - they say the freeways are back to being jammed. People are out and about. Politicians can issue all the little edicts they want - people are fed up.

What do these stupid Democrats know? They are just smart enough to line their pockets with kickbacks. For them, a virus is something you get on your computer.

I mean I live on Staten island then I’m doing fine. Food is easy to get in and deliveries are being made again. But the bad parts of the city are suffering even worse

I am happy to hear people are at the beach, probably the least place in the world to catch an infectino.....

Yup and the one thing about quarantine I was enjoying were the empty streets! :(

[Ymani Cricket]

Trump said UV light is good. Now all Dems will say it is bad. Stay inside. Hide from UV light.

[JennysCool]

Can’t have people being OUTSIDE in the OPEN AIR, can we?

This isn’t about health, this is about control.

[billyboy15]

So after we arevtold that heat and sun (uv) deztroy the china virus, these people are reminded and threatened if they expose the virus to that which kills it.

Not to obvious what is going on here.

Los Angeles County Public Health Director warned LA County residents not to go to beaches in Ventura and Orange Counties...

Following is her argument...Paraphrasing...A resident of LA County gets infected at some beach in some other county...Then he comes back to LA County and infects other people...

Once politicians have their thumbs on your throat after you have been thrown to your back politicians think it’s time to apply severe pain and pressure to your throat area to take away your life. Politicians are worse than the virus

We just broke into triple digits here in Arizona today. A lot of us are snickering a little bit with the question falling from our lips: being: "let's see how this virus handles a daily 115ﾟF with 3% humidity... for six months! It'll have to find a way to get to some air conditioning because it won't survive well on a sidewalk that heats to 160ﾟeveryday. If this is a seasonal type of flu or typical cold virus like the Corona virus actually is... There's going to be a lot of days that it won't survive longer than 8 seconds in the air or 3 seconds on any horizontal surface that faces outside. No cold damp areas to c Hide and nothing but being hotter than h*** all day along. If sunlight heat and low humidity,terminate this virus's ability to replicate, then it's finished here in the Southwest... till november 30th at least. 115° F, coming soon to every sidewalk, and parking lot near me. I can think of some democrats that would benefit greatly from being staked out in the middle of the desert for a couple days of social distancing with the cactus,fire ants, rattlesnakes, scorpions and some of our other anti social critters. My kind of side by side double blind study of hardcore social distancing. I wonder if a chupacabra would actually eat Nancy Pelosi with all that plastic in her? Maybe after eating all that ice cream... It could be studied. And dr fauci could issue a report on the results. Pay per view.
