How a rush to reopen drove Los Angeles County into a health crisis
“We are going to really aim together to get there as quickly as possible, but we’re going to pay attention to the data,” Ferrer says. “It’s going to take all of us working together to be able to do this quicker rather than slower.”51,685 cases
But the pressure to reopen builds. Across L.A. County, various Chamber of Commerce groups rally businesses, especially in the Antelope, Conejo and Santa Clarita valleys and beach cities, pleading with the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to reopen the economy. "We are completely not out of the woods,” Ferrer says. “We are in the middle of the woods and we still have a lot of risk. This is not a time for parties or gatherings at your house. We do need you to just remain with the members of your household. ...The only exceptions to that are political protests."“We’re trying to balance public health with getting people back to work because we know that it’s not an either/or, it’s gotta be an and.
“I’m very nervous about how quickly it’s cascaded ... but I think there’s been immense political pressure,” he said. “We don’t know in three or four weeks where we’ll be and I think we have to be prepared — and we know how to — to be able to walk back. That will be immensely painful.”116,670 cases
