Masks could return as L.A. County sees worrying uptick in COVID and RSV infections

Imagine still believing that this is about your health. 🤣😂

The best way to control a child is to scare it.

At what point are we going to have enough?

If anyone complies with mandates implemented by Barbera Ferrer, there is no logic that will lead you to understand that this is not about health. Ferrer is not the picture of health, neither are the BOS.

So because kids were in isolation they have a low immune system but that's what everyone was told to do, ok.

[stansbornak]

Would you take advice from someone that looks like Barbara Ferrer?

I see this as a good thing in LA because most of people here are dirty and don’t have manners when it comes to keeping distance and being hygenitic

My husband had a scant cough but denied being sick - then he positive for COVID at work. Several days later our son (also symptomatic) also tested positive. Both had two COVID vaccines but not the bivalent vaccine booster. Five days later I am still asymptomatic and testing negative for COVID although I had close contact with both. I am the only one who had the bivalent COVID vaccine (work mandated). Food for thought to all vaccine deniers still out there.
