Local management of COVID-19 risks
Just under a year ago, with the advancement of warm spring weather, larger party crowds and the reluctance of people to keep their distance in many places other than the beach, LA County closed our beaches.
That caused people to congregate in even more close spaces. Local officials blatantly sat by and blamed the county.
We are in a challenging moment of our health crisis, yet people still feel the need to find opportunities to congregate close.
The local beach cities need to work in concert with each other to take small temporary actions (limit weekend parking, pier Strand access, etc.), in order to allow our beaches to remain open.
