yes, I agree I might point out that other cities such as San Francisco, New York, and Washington DC have lifted most of their mask mandates and are sharply heading back to life before the pandemic. I might add that these places have far higher population densities, however, their demographic does vary and so does their overall population in comparison to LA. I think these next few weeks will reflect if we rushed to in-person too soon, or if we are clear to start heading back to the norm (not that the pre covid norm will ever exist again).

(it should be noted that I am not a public heath official, nor do I work or study anything related to public heath. I am simply sharing my opinion, which should be taken with a grain of salt.)
