Los Angeles is requiring essentially everybody in the city wear a face covering at all times whenever outdoors, a policy Mayor Eric Garcetti says will help the local economy reopen faster.
Garcetti announced the order on Wednesday evening, telling city residents: "Bring your mask with you whenever you leave your home."
Children under 2, as well as a limited number of individuals with disabilities, are exempt from the order, the mayor's office said in a press release.
"Face coverings help stop the spread of the virus," Garcetti, a Democrat, said in the release. "Wearing them whenever were away from home will create a meaningful layer of protection for people we might come into contact with, and that makes sense at this stage of our response to the crisis."
The order came shortly after Garcetti said that the city will "never be completely open" until scientists discover a cure for coronavirus.
The mayor at the time was partially walking back comments made earlier in the day by Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer, who said Tuesday that the city's stay-at-home order would be extended "with all certainty" for the next three months.

The little tourist town I live in has done this. Made it a law on May 6th expiring on June 10th. (just in time for 2 million tourists. Or would be 2 mil in a normal year) I had no idea so, after being home alone for 19 days, I went to town yesterday to get my mail and grocery shop.
A very rude little girl at Safeway ordered me to leave the store. I thought it was a store policy until I went to the auto parts store and noticed the little sign on the door saying it was a town ordinance.
Can’t remember when I’ve been so POed about something. Totally humiliating. Looks like I’ve got another 25 days before I can go grocery shopping.
THREE MONTHS?! GTFOOH!
That’s completely idiotic. When outside without people around it makes no sense to wear a mask. No “science” behind that dictum.
It’s freakin’ gonna be summer in LA. Is he nuts? Well, yes.
“Nuts!”
Unless they’re hiding a serious outbreak say, in the homeless/illegals?
If Biden is elected in November the virus will miraculously disappear the next day. If President Trump is reelected (please God!) L.A. will be shut down for the next four years. This is what it’s all about.

I want to breathe fresh air. Stupid.
Ha!
I consider these “orders” to be tantamount to interference in the 2020 election?

At the end of April 2020, Garcetti was named a member of the vetting committee for the selection of presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Joe Biden’s runningmate.

Probably not since it has now been documented that eight sailors on the USS Roosevelt have become re-infected after having recovered once from the Wuhan Flu.
If having a full blown infection from the virus doesn't give you immunity then a vaccine for it seems unlikely to me.
Hopefully the LA County Sheriff and other CA Law Enforcement will NOT enforce this unconstitutional lunacy!
I hope LA LEO follow the lead of this Ohio LEO:
No exceptions; no personal discretion ?!?
I live alone and want to read a book on my back deck - WEAR A MASK? I'm walking a deserted beach with my family - WEAR A MASK? I'm in a park far from anyone- - WEAR A MASK?
These politicians deserve to be sued at the least and receive our wrath at best.
I have a new appreciation for the idea of tar and feathering tyrants.
Tyhrants ad mortem!
I thought this YouTube pertains to unlawful orders such as this one about being forced to wear masks that there is no scientific proof helps.
A Word To My Fellow Law Enforcement Officers

Please share viral and post on social media!
Probably the same way they are doing it in Estes Park. They have obligated the business to enforce it. No big deal to me for most businesses but I will need groceries again at some point and Safeway is happy to play unpaid police about it.
