While most of California took another step forward to partly reopen in time for Memorial Day weekend, Los Angeles County didn't join the party.
All 50 states have begun to ease restrictions heading into Memorial Day weekend, but they’re doing it in widely different ways.LOS ANGELES -- While most of California welcomed more places to eat, shop and play this holiday weekend, Los Angeles did not join the party.
Los Angeles is among a small number of California's 58 counties that either have not sufficiently contained the virus to reopen more activities and commerce or, in the case of several San Francisco Bay Area counties, have chosen to move more slowly. A study released Wednesday by the University of California, Los Angeles, found 40% of black people and Latinos reside in neighborhoods where those living conditions make them more susceptible to getting infected or transmitting the virus.
Ramirez was driving to a fine-dining restaurant where he was cooking meals for takeout and for hospice patients. He planned to pick up a coworker to help the colleague avoid the risk of infection on a bus. Los Angeles has far more nursing homes — 388 — than any other county in the state. San Diego, the state's second most populous county with about a third of LA's population, has about one-fifth as many nursing homes.
“LA had sort of a distorted picture in the beginning of who was infected," said Karin Michels, a UCLA epidemiology professor."The wealthier people were able to get the test kits. So it seemed like there was more disease among the wealthy.”
