I have been slacking at work with regards to wearing a mask indoors. I still wear a KN94 mask when I go to crowded areas but have mostly been maskless at my desk. However, unlike in previous months, I have been going into the office almost every day. Now there is news that Los Angeles County may bring back an indoor mask mandate again. Let the whining begin…
In what has now become a pattern during the pandemic, coronavirus cases are rising as we enter the holiday season in L.A. County.
It is still far from clear how big a potential winter surge could be. Some officials are optimistic the wave will not be as bad as past seasons.
But officials warn that continued spikes in COVID-19 could bring a return to an indoor mask mandate.
Looking at the new case trend, the number continues to grow over time, though not very quickly. Maybe it is the coming flu season that has the public health officials worried?
The case rate in Orange County is lower. From the chart, Los Angeles County is averaging 3000+ cases daily, while Orange County is at 320. LAC has more people but only a bit over 3x OC so the infection rate is definitely much higher.
