Hollywood reporter: LA Mayor declares emergency

On this issue of the Hollywood reporter, a story of very big proportions is told. Apparently Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has decided to declare an emergency due to rising COVID 19 cases. He told everyone in an announcement to “cancel everything.” This likely means a lockdown across the entire city. However the Reporter points out that this announcement came a little late because COVID cases in LA have already risen. Garcetti has made this emergency more extreme than the city’s previous lockdown orders by saying no one should go anywhere, meet with anyone, or take any risks that will cause cases to spread. Although the WHO has stated that hardcore lockdowns actually didn’t do much to stop the spread of the virus, apparently some government officials are deciding to go to extremes anyway. So therefore what the mayor is doing is no different from what mayors in cities like New York are doing now. While a vaccine is almost on its way from the sound of things, the best thing anyone can do right now is wear masks, wash hands, and stay six feet apart from each other. 2020 has been a truly crappy year from COVID to George Floyd’s death, from riots and protests to the elections, this year has really not been a good start to the decade. However I’m still alive and am trying my best to stay healthy and others should do the same.
