Op-Ed: Yes, please, bring back the mask mandate (via latimesopinion)
It’s the summer of the subvariants. The summer you or at least someone you know got COVID. The summer masks were off all over town, but not for much longer.
Nonetheless, hospitalizations of coronavirus-positive patients are rising far enough and fast enough —— to move L.A. County from the moderate to high level of community transmission. It’s a good bet that the Department of Public Health will reinstate a mask mandate for indoor public spaces at the end of July.
Outside the office, my rules are a little looser, but not by much. I wear a mask in stores, mandate or not. I eat only at outdoor restaurants, and even when gathering with family or friends, we do so outdoors. Just last week, a friend commented to me that I must be happy that the mask mandate would be coming back. Yes and yes. I obsessively check the daily data on cases, hospitalizations, deaths and positivity, and I expect those figures to improve if more people are masked more of the time.
