It’s been nearly two weeks since Gov. Gavin Newsomamid a worrying resurgence of new coronavirus cases. Though outdoor worship services are still permitted, participants are supposed to wear face coverings and keep six feet apart, as is required when Californians are around anyone who is not a member of their household.
The health agency noted in its statement that “there was much physical touching” at the event, and the crowd was too large to fit in the area around the bridge while maintaining social distancing. “I think it’s more of a political statement that anything at this point, for people to actually shut down a worship service when there’s mass protests with hundreds of thousands of people in L.A. and then we’re getting highlighted in the news for spreading the virus,” said Parker Green, 34, who organized the recurring event with his wife Jessi, 35.
On Friday, the Greens provided participants with hand sanitizer and gave out hundreds of masks, they said, but they estimated at least 60% of people chose not to wear them. “It’s Orange County,” Parker Green said, referencing the strong resistance to following public health orders that many county residents have become noted for.
When the organizers declined to limit attendance, the public health department declared the event to be in violation of public health orders, the city said.
Is this prompting stern reprimands from health officials?
Have the protests prompted stern reprimands from public health officials?
Wtf, will stupid people who are known to have contributed to spreading and ultimately death, be charged with manslaughter? Asking for a friend.
just get their names and not treat them if they get infected period...automatic cremation...🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Re: From Orange County to Northern California, people continue to gather for large outdoor religious ceremonies without following rules to slow the spread of the coronavirus, prompting stern reprimands from public health officials.
Darwin god
Fake propaganda. LA FAKE NEWS you need to Shut you resist publishing poop company down💩💩💩
Even dumb Cuomo figured out testing...
Don't blame these people. Even your dumbest president knows every region is different. Yet, the state still doing the stupid policy across the board. Because they could not figure out the testing. Sorry California, you failed your people. You can't blame any one.
You’re right! This is unacceptable. Meanwhile... all over America
Imagine this headline: people continue to gather for large outdoor protests without following rules to slow the spread of the coronavirus, prompting stern reprimands from public health officials.
Don’t blame your Illness in God you choose to not to put a mask
Maybe their insurance companies should cancel their healthcare coverage.
Deny them medical care for Covid!
Health officials can STFU, they refuse to denounce massive riots, protests and hordes of criminals. Health officials have been wrong everytime and have to lie about facts to force compliance. No one is listening anymore
You sloths just want everybody scared. Nobody thinks this is any different than the flu and now you are mad. Gfy
Now do protests, which are far more prevalent than religious ceremonies in California.
Thoughts and prayers 🙄
Such bullshit and such hypocrites. Wait til they get the Trump virus. Religious people can pray from anywhere, even from home.
They don't believe in Darwin's Theory, but prove it to be true.
And city officials, including the Board of Supervisors and police will do nothing to help OC gavinnewsom hb saturateoc
And Rioting is worse then that!!!
This COVID-19 shit won’t go anywhere. It’s like a competition now, you gathered because of BLM, then I will gathered for religion. Ok then.
These people are selfish assholes.
There is no commandment about deliberately endangering yourself and everyone you come in contact with oh wait The Sixth Commandment- thou shalt not kill. - King James Bible re groups- 'For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
With facial recognition, why doesn’t the authorities just identify those who flaunt the no mask and gathering and then when they should show up at hospital ER’s, they can be denied medical attention! Label them all DNR!
Maybe they are defending thire spot, because Florida is catching up fast. Keep the surge going ! Unless Newsom shutdown California, again.
Mary52lrMaga carry a protest sign then for some strange reason you won't get covid {see riots for how to info}
If airplanes are safe, then this is safe. Policy making isn’t consistent
Same health officials that will not condemn peaceful protests/ riots
Politics has been a large component of public health policy on COVID. The fact that politicians are making all the decisions makes that inevitable. California officials are no more going to stop large protest gatherings than conservative states are going after Sunday services.
So strange that a 'News' organization is against the 1st Ammendment. Also the 2nd & 21st
Well they could be wearing masks to soothe the minds of the worried public, but at least there are prayers going out helping the energy field of the planet to diffuse the shadow Frequencies, something we all need now. Remain in a Spirit of LOVE if you desire a more loving world.
Why can’t they get together but yet protesters are never under any scrutiny. The hypocrisy is insane
now do protesters....
But protests are ok? Personally, I don't want to see *any* large gatherings, but you can't condone one and condemn the other. No wonder nobody is taking this seriously anymore.
You can not be serious?!? Liberal Always times at it again. Never a mention about the LARGE “peaceful” protests that are way over the allowed number to gather.
They forgot. Looting and arson are the only way to prevent corona.
CAgovernor GavinNewsom
Cultists spotted in Portland
In a hurry to meet their maker?
Why don't you criticize the criminal protesters?
Same as protest IT’S OUTSIDE 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣😁🙏🏼
When you stop protest groups then I’ll care about these groups.
As long as the protests are allowed to continue, you will have no argument against this kind of behavior.
Actually they're peaceful protests - see? It's OK now. 🙂
It’s called culling the herd
You liars are truly the enemy of us all. So racist mobs of violent criminals destroying our cities is totally fine but have a church service is dangerous? How sick in the head do you have to be in order to have that seem right? This is demonic.
What about the riots?
Dummies
But BLM protests no........ Well..
Now do 'peaceful' riots and protests.
Now do the riots you hacks
Are you you media types really this thick? You put the protests, riots & BLM stuff under the same COVIDー19 microscope I bet the lawful folks would gladly wear masks.
So let’s get this straight. You can riot but not worship. Notice how CA turned to crap as soon as it went Blue.
Fine them period.
And the Lord said 'Go forth and kill my children through your foolish ideas of what I want'. Amen
But the protests in Portland are fine! Get stuffed!
They gonna get holy covid.
Good!
😡😡😡
And the rioting mod is ok?
Welp, they'll just be seeing Jesus a little sooner then. rebuke
Now do protests
are you kidding me? What about the riots? the people destroying cities and spreading Covid at the same time.
Lol
But blm and other protest are fine? Get the hell outta here La times, stop being ignorant.
Cults
We should avoid gathering during this pandemic. However, I’d much rather see religious gatherings than protests where agitators incite violence and destruction. In a pandemic both are wrong. However, one is completely unacceptable.
I'd much rather people gather in the daytime for religious purposes than at nighttime to riot and burn things down. Oh and try to blind officers with their laser beams. And throw fireworks.
just bring your tuba, your dancing shoes and crank up the tunes and your 'large outdoor gathering' suddenly gets approved by the l.a. times.
🤔
You mean like large mass 'Peaceful protests' that according to Democrats dont transmit any viruses......
Meanwhile, there are riots on our streets in LA where people are not wearing masks. The needs to go the way of the Herald Examiner and put all of us out of our misery with their bull shit lies.
The sheer whataboutism over zealots and protestors... Just wear a mask whatever side you're on to save someone else's life...
Social inconvenience is not social injustice.
🤪
this is why you are the enemy of the people
But what about the riots?
jEeBuS wiLL pRoTeCt uS! DuRrRrRrRrR
This is OK but church is not? There’s no media bias; none at all. Nothing to see here.
People too stupid to realize you can worship the lord from the comfort of your own home.
From Oregon to Atlanta, people continue to gather for large outdoor rioting without following rules to slow the spread of the coronavirus, prompting dead silence from the corrupt, leftist media and Democrats.
Finally a large gathering of people that doesn't turn into riots & looters maybe 2020 is getting better.
But it's ok to burn and destroy.
just bring your tuba and turn up the music! then everything is just great!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh they don't riot so they are spreading COVID 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 liblogic
People wonder why there are those who resist the quarantine. Having double standards for rules is exactly why. You can’t say protesting and screaming outside is ok but worshiping and singing is not. Standing in line at Lowe’s is ok but standing in line in a restaurant isn’t.
Church
Just say you’re protesting.
Protesters can protest butt nobody is supposed to have religious services ?
and this reporting right here is why people wont wear masks. you chastise good people and give rioters a pass. its ok to go to a casino but not a church.
If thousands of scumbags can riot/protest in the streets every day then gatherings should be allowed anywhere.
listen i just came from the beach and it was PACKED. seafood buffet there was PACKED. soooo if people want to worship outside whats the problem? and protestors are still at it?
The dems and left Protesting okay. Religion not okay
right, but gathering in large numbers to tear down municipal property or burn down a federal courthouse...that's perfectly fine in the bizarro world that is the LA Times.
Insane
Hypocritical media, going after one group and not the other
People gathering in large numbers without masks, social distancing and other precautions are slowing America's economic recovery.
People cause 140 + THOUSAND DEATHS✝️✡ not OUR PRESIDENT! I believe ..
Too bad officials don't do the same with protesters.
But rioting & looting is okay...oh, I'm sorry 'peaceful protests.' LOL.
Don't they realize they need to loot a few stores to keep the china virus away. Then the authorities will be OK with it.
But not riots? Interesting
Can’t keep letting them do this,There the ones that keep spreading the trump virus 🦠!
As compared to mass riots and large crowd looting, vandalism and arson.
They’re protesting Satan. You’ve reported Protests are not causing the spread of the coronavirus. Open and shut case
Dumb..
seanfeucht is his name, the leader who constantly defies local city and state government orders and health officials and allows people to congregate with mass gatherings with no social distancing and no mask wearing.
these idiots seem determined to die its like Jonestown ffs!
Can someone explain to me why protest aren't causing a spike in Covid-19? What aren't cops getting it at a greater eats? They certainly aren't social distancing when they are up close and personal beating on protestors and taking them off the streets in unmarked cars?
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
CAgovernor OCGovCA CityofHBPIO What action is taken to ensure the health and safety of every OrangeCounty resident? Organized events and protests are a small portion of the tens of thousands that visit HB and OC beach cities daily w/ no masks or social distancing. occovid19
But conspicuously did NOT draw riot police or tear gas. Hear they were given “strong” warnings though. That’s cool..
The Communists have revealed themselves, America.
Ca. looking and sounding more and more like 'Mao's Communist China' AntifaBLMDomesticTerrorists DemocratsTheEnemyWithin DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica Trump2020NowMoreThanEver
Where were these rebukes for all the protests and rioting? Selective outrage is bias nonetheless.
'What Would Jesus Do'? WEAR a Mask!!!!!!!
