The Panic Is Back: Los Angeles County Officials Tell Residents To Wear Masks Again

Covidiocy Never Ends

Since March 2020 Los Angeles County's COVID obsession has equaled or exceeded any other jurisdiction in the United States.

LA was one of the first counties in the country to mandate masks; beginning April 10, 2020, residents were required to wear masks in indoor public areas. Just a month later that was extended to cover outdoor areas despite overwhelming evidence showing outdoor transmission was minimal to nonexistent. With just one small interruption, those mandates continued well into 2022.

County and public health officials seemingly operate under the assumption that when a mandated policy is so undeniably ineffective that even when it is conclusively proven to have failed to prevent the very thing it was designed to prevent, it should therefore continue into perpetuity. So here we are today.

Mask mandates have continued in some locations into 2024, contradicting the prolific amount of accumulated data proving they don't work.

And they're not giving up on them now.
