Public attitudes: Covid Rates Are Climbing in Los Angeles, but Residents Are Weary

 

It’s that time of year, when rising Covid cases collide with holiday plans. Hospitalizations in Los Angeles County have nearly tripled in the past month, and the county is talking about a possible mask mandate.

It’s the same line of thinking that Los Angeles County leaders had when Covid cases rose this summer. And there was a time when masks were required at the county’s airports and on public transit even though state and federal requirements had been relaxed.

But a mask decree now would land in a region where social habits and emotions about Covid have greatly shifted since the previous two winters of rising cases.
