Los Angeles, California Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a new emergency order that bans unnecessary “travel on foot.” The Democratic mayor warns the city is approaching a “devastating tipping point” in their fight against COVID-19.
“Our city is now close to a devastating tipping point, beyond which the number of hospitalized patients would start to overwhelm our hospital system, in turn risking needless suffering and death,” Garcetti wrote in the order. “These unfortunate facts about the spread of COVID-19 in our City mean that we must resume some of the more restrictive measures we instituted in the Spring.”
The order prohibits “all travel, including, without limitation, travel on foot, bicycle, scooter, motorcycle, automobile, or public transit,” with limited exceptions.
Healthcare workers and reporters are allowed to travel, as well as people going to grocery stores, gas stations, and other locations that are considered essential.
Garcetti also ordered all residents living in the city “to remain in their homes,” forcing businesses that require in-person attendance to shut down. Gatherings that include individuals from more than one household are not allowed.
However, the order does have exceptions for some activities. These include “outdoor faith-based services” and people “participating in an in-person outdoor protest while wearing a face covering, maintaining social distancing, and observing the Los Angeles County Protocol for Public Demonstrations.”
Los Angeles County has some of the highest infection rates in the country, beating a city record on Wednesday with LA Public Health confirming 2,439 people hospitalized with COVID. The county’s positivity rate is at 13.0%, compared to the November 1 positivity rate of 3.9%, according to the same report. LA Public Health said the county has nearly 415,000 positive coronavirus cases with a total of 7,740 deaths as of Wednesday.
Sounds like he has gone over the edge!
NOTHING BUT MORONS MUST LIVE IN CALIFORNIA?
“ Gatherings that include individuals from more than one household are not allowed.” So are these people at the outdoor protests going to be checked to see if they are from the same household and how will these protestors get to and from their protest?
Only politicians could be this stupid! So how does your body builds the immune system? Everybody knows that its by exposure. So they ban walking, thus limiting your organism form exposure and therefore limiting its building the immunity. I hope that this part is clear to everybody. So now how does vaccine work? By injecting that shit into your body its guaranteed exposure to the virus! Hmmmm. So a chance you may catch the virus is bad and they need to protect you but a guarantee that you will be exposed to the virus is the way to go. $1500 offered (stimulus check) if you take a shot. Just think how much it will cost you to get healthy again. Well and if you die that means you just was vaccinated too late. Good plan
I am sorry, but anyone that voted these idiots back into office and continues to do so deserve the resyrictions. Meanwhile they can continue to see people and businesses leave the state like we did. Let the whole state go to hell. They are perfect for the fruits and nuts out there.
“RICO ACT” ALL DEMOCRAPS AND PACK THE COURTS!!!
I am disappointed the people of cal are so stupid get your pitchforks and get these frickin idiots out by force
These people are CRAZY! There must be SOME REASON they want to control and sequester the population..
Fricking California, you have so many problems such as Hollywood and dumb ass celebrities, crime, financial collapse and a pathetic education system, and now no unnecessary walking!!
Maybe get your liberal heads out of your behinds and realize these are steps to control and take all your rights away.
Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!!! this is against everything that we as a Country Stand for and no one should obey this or even consider doing so! “Doc G” Ret. (AW/FMF) USN/USMC SEMER FIDELIS! MAGA ,,,, WE Need President Trump that is why God has Ordained Him as Leader of America!
I live in Ventura County and thank God we do not live in LA or SF. These are cesspools for foolish, draconian, better-than-thou, narcissistic criminals who pass for politicians and public servants. Same in Chicago and Philadelphia.
Garcetti is one of many hand picked puppets who are shielded, bu the day will come when they will either be charged with crimes of fraud and treason nad/or be shamed by history.
Who decides what’s a necessary walk? That imbecile doesn’t even understand that a walk outside is essential for one’s health and we’ll being. People need to sue these morons for imposing unnecessary hardship and do recall elections. Get rid of these cretins who are ignorant and just plain intellectually defective!
That is the sickest order I have ever seen! I can protest but not go walking!!

“Imagine a vaccine so safe, you have to be threatened to take it, and a disease so deadly you have to be tested to know you have it”
They wont stay “beautiful” without exercise. This wont stand!!
This time of year there are usually several big white Sharks along the coast of Cali. You people should dump a big bunch of chum in the water and take Garcetti and Newsome down to Santa Monica pier and toss them over the end.
