I wonder how high the COVID spike is going to go. For 30 years they worked hard to bring in many people from poor countries in the world with the highest brith rates and they have nothing to show for it but a COVID-19 infested city.

LA has had 542 COVID-19 deaths in the last 2 weeks, compared to 8 in San Diego and 2 in San Francisco.

Even NYC has days with no COVID deaths since the pandemic started.

LA is the "hottest of the hot" when it comes to COVID-19 because the cities residents have tremendous birth rates and crowd children in the home with grandma and granddad.

San Francisco has done a fantastic job in regards to handling the COVID crisis, while Los Angeles is just an dysfunctional failure.

Los Angeles has millions who love living in multi-generational households with many children and many old people under one roof. Millions of Angelenos love packing into small apartments and small houses with horrible ventilation systems and what do they have now? A city that is becoming a big Elmhurst.

Los Angeles is nothing more than a public health nightmare. I have been there many times and it's not a stretch to say that a very large percentage of people in LA don't even know remedial hygeiene.

Looks like decades and decades of having as millions upon millions from the poorest cities around the world who have some of the highest birth-rates is not working well during a pandemic in LA.

San Francisco's large elderly population that listens to advice, large population that stays at home, knows how to wear a mask and lack of multi-generational households with children has done wonders keeping the cases low.

People live, people die. If you're concerned don't go to a damn restaurant. Stay home, read a book.

The concern is the tenacity of this virus as it's transmission remains robust. If it's virulence does the same we're in real trouble.

Well, starvation is pretty robust too. If we keep scaring everyone about a bug that most of us will live through then a lot of things will break down.

Protect the elderly and the ill. Everyone else go on with your life.

Agreed. There is inherent risk in life.

you people are glass half empty.

10 million people in LA county, and you focus on 500 deaths.

Except it takes two weeks to incubate so increases have nothing to do with riots. More to do with the way the city records deaths?

It's not what you know but what you can prove.
Q: can we prove it?
Q: can we prove coordination?
Q: can we prove deliberate action to increase death count to justify vote-by-mail, stay-at-home, bail-out-state, kill-economy, kill-Presidential-rallies, increase unemployment, etc?
