Los Angeles health officials can live in fear of their own shadows, but the county’s 10 million residents should not be governed by that fear, writes ZacharyFaria.
The county is on track to enter the “high” level of COVID transmission, which would lead to a return to indoor mask mandates in two weeks. The county still requires masks on public transportation, but now, nearly 10 million residents are staring down a return to masking in all indoor buildings and facilities .
Los Angeles County is approaching a 15% test positivity rate, which appears to be the trigger for the mandate. That rate is close to the 23% rate from January earlier this year, the last time the county saw a COVID spike. But the daily case average now is just a fraction of what it was then . More importantly, the average number of hospitalizations now is nowhere near what it was at the start of the year during the last surge .
