Los Angeles County to reinstate mask mandate regardless of vaccination status as COVID cases surge

Los Angeles County will require face coverings indoors regardless of vaccination status, amid an increase in coronavirus cases. CBS News reporter Bradley Blackburn joins CBSN AM to discuss the reinstated mandate and U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy's warning that misinformation on social media is driving up vaccine hesitancy.

The LA county sheriff’s office has said they will not enforce this, so basically it’s pointless.

Don’t worry, Gavin Newsom will wear his as long as he knows that the cameras are around.

So first LA county "encouraged" mask wearing again and now "mandating" it. Sacramento and YOLO now "encouraging" mask wearing... The next step seems pretty predictable.

DONT WORRY ABOUT THE BORDER BEING WIDE OPEN THOUGH? NONE OF THEM ARE INFECTED RIGHT ?!

[Alfarojv]

Imagine hindering your ability to breathe...over a virus so deadly you have to take a test to know if you have it

Homeless people are immune 👍 Hold my Georgia Guide Stones

What was the point for the vaccine then???

King Gavin will be at the French Laundry criticizing the serfs over how much electricity they waste

I went to the doctor today for a check up and the doctor asked me was I going to get the covid vaccine. I said no, she said why ? I just shook my head and told her theres a lot of reasons why.. So she told me I can ask her any questions about it as if she could convince me... So I asked her do they have a sheet of ingredients of what's in it the elixir ? Then she said she can't answer that and no they don't have the ingredients. So I said as a physicians shouldn't you know what's in a solution before you recommend it to patients ? .Then she was just speechless... wow

They aren't "requiring" anyone to comply with their mandate unless they choose to do so! Businesses can choose to enforce it or not, though there are potential enforcement risks of saying no... People do NOT have to follow these rules and many won't.

[brianh]

DO NOT DO IT reject any and all government control or restrictions on your rights and abilities. Just say NO.

[genestone]

LA County sheriff refuses to enforce this :-)

[jameswheeler]

And they wonder why there’s vaccine hesitancy. “Take the jab! But still wear a mask!”

[juicy_apple_x]

At this point they're just trying to see how many will obey... this is ridiculous.

[brandonkaholokula]

The first woman interviewed as she sat at a cafe/diner is the exact reason they are doing this- not to prevent covid transmission, but to increase the divide between vaxed and unvaxed

[apster]

And who decides what is credible information?

[TobaccoRowe]

When they say JUMP you all actually jump. LMAO

[mikewilliams]

Obey. Just obey. Amazing how people just bend.

[corporalsanders]

And yet they aren't concerned about letting thousands of untested people move across the border. Makes no sense.
