Four suburban Southern California counties Ventura, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside are responsible for a dangerous rise in California’s coronavirus hospitalizations.

The causes for the spikes are not yet fully known, but one common cause is social gatherings. A barbecue at a mobile home park in Oxnard recently resulted in 19 people testing positive for the virus, and authorities are now monitoring an additional 40 people who are close contacts of those who are infected.


"People living in suburban and rural areas seem to imagine themselves immune so they take fewer precautions," said Dr. Robert Levin, the Ventura County health officer, on Tuesday.

“It’s like we’re cheating on our diet, and we're angry or baffled that we can’t lose weight. There’s all those times that we’re not cheating. But in the few times we do, all that effort is for naught. So what is the price we pay? - Where are we headed? - More cases of COVID-19. - More people hospitalized. - More people in our ICUs. - More people dead.”


Los Angeles County continued a decline with 62 fewer hospitalized patients daily for confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 between the week of Memorial Day and last week.

Yet somehow my gym opening this coming Monday doesn't seem like a good idea. Nor does "asserting my imaginary first amendment rights not to wear a mask" seem very clever.
