From the LA Co. Health Dept daily briefing on 3/26: 421 new Covid-19 cases were reported, and nine new deaths, bringing the total to 21 deaths, and 1216 cases in LA Co. today. They removed the teen from the original stats, saying Covid-19 may not have been the cause. Another person was removed because they did not live in LA Co. Director of LA Co. Public Health, Dr. Barbara Ferrer, says if we don't curtail the spread, there could be a million cases in LA Co. in a few weeks! And that would...

Brazile today signed a General Order to enact unprecedented measures in the nation's largest trial court to protect the public's health and safety during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

"The coronavirus is scaring people because it is new and much is not known about it. But what we can tell so far is that this is no Ebola. Most people who contract it recover just fine. The fatality rate appears to be considerably lower than SARS and is probably much lower than it appears right now, since so many cases are very likely going unreported and mild versions of the disease are probably not being counted at all. Most fatalities are among the elderly and those with preexisting...
Hermosa Beach announced that it will follow the lead of cities such as Los Angeles and Santa Monica, and close beaches and beach parking lots to the public. Like other West Coast urban areas, authorities have struggled to convince people, young people especially, not to gather in groups or socialize in public areas designed for them to do exactly that.

I have spoken to occasional groups of tourists from Brazil, Germany, or even China this week. Santa Monica Pier remains closed. The closed Pier, still lit up at night, is considered a symbol of Los Angeles County's shutdown. "Be prepared to isolate or to quarantine," said LA County Dept....

(Newsflash: nobody was able to stay...

You should see the hate on social media (actually, you probably have. What else is there to do but look at Facebook?) Who the hell are these people anyway? Is it possible that our elected politicians are doing this to us? One woman speculated that this was a way to force the homeless from beach...
