Los Angeles County health officials on Saturday reported 3,628 new COVID-19 cases and 53 related deaths, high numbers that in part reflect reporting delays in the state’s electronic laboratory system.
The total number of cases in the county now stands at 172,325, with a cumulative 4,351 deaths, officials said in a statement. There have been 446,148 confirmed cases in California, and 8,406 people have died statewide. The majority of new positive cases in L.A. County are occurring in people under the age of 50, officials said.

You didn't sneeze at 45 million flu cases a few years ago. Stop propagandizing. Deaths and hospitalizations are the only important numbers. Unless, of course, you are trying to point out covid's low mortality rate by quoting and comparing deaths to overall cases.
And LA’s already shutdown... so weird!
