A new L.A. mask mandate would have less value at this stage of the pandemic, some experts say

LA Times  

As successive waves of COVID-19 have swept across the Southland, Michael Matteo Rossi, a 35 year-old filmmaker who lives in Los Feliz, has gamely masked up whenever he shopped, ate out or visited with his parents, who are in their 70s. Barbara Ferrer, director of L.A. County Department of Health, announced plans to reinstate an indoor mask mandate if the county’s COVID-19 community level remains high for two consecutive weeks. At Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, the largest of four county-run public hospitals, around 90% of infected patients were admitted for something other than COVID-19 — and “virtually none of them to go the ICU,” according to Dr. Brad Spellberg, the hospital’s chief medical officer. “A lot of people have bad colds, is what we’re seeing.” Gandhi said that even steep increases in new infections have ceased to be a reliable predictor of hospital admissions for severe cases of COVID-19. “That is a real concern.” When Rossi heard that a mask mandate was back on the table for L.A. County, he did not accept health officials’ words at face value.
