L.A. County could keep stay-at-home orders in place well into summer, depending on conditions

Los Angeles County’s stay-at-home orders will “with all certainty” be extended for the next three months, county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer acknowledged during a Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday.

Ferrer later added that even if the orders remain in place through the summer, restrictions will be “gradually relaxed” under a five-step plan.

“We are being guided by science and data that will safely move us forward along the road to recovery in a measured way—one that allows us to ensure that effective distancing and infection control measures are in place,” Ferrer said, adding that the county is counting on the public’s compliance with the orders to be able to relax restrictions.

Testifying before the Board of Superviros, Ferrer stressed further progress will be guided by efforts to contain the virus. Los Angeles County is now the Calfornia epicenter of the coronavirus, with more than 1,300 deaths so far.

DC just extended to June 8, which forces the hands of areas around DC (MD VA) given infrastructure, transportation, etc is driven by DC.

Hell, many state colleges in California have already scrapped in person classes in the fall.

Just the beginning.

Maybe a good time to undercut those landscaping services and mow lawns, prune bushes to make $$$$$. Anything to make it through these times!

If not, panhandling on corners will become the norm everywhere!

Baltimore should put in a permanent stay at home order. Not for WuFlu, but just to keep the citizens from shooting one another.

Northwest Woodsman: Anyone who still resides in that state deserves what ever BS comes their way for voting corrupt, self serving politicians into office. If things ever get that bad here on our island, I’m going to head to the most remote town I can find in Idaho.
