On 12/17, Los Angeles Public Health issued a press release saying mask compliance exceeded 95% and that “high compliance with masking" was keeping cases in LA down as “one of the most effective strategies at reducing the spread of the virus”

Cases are up 2,122% since

Whoops

I am not making this up, this is literally what they said on 12/17.

“Public and business sector masking compliance is high”

“Vast majority of businesses had masking compliance rates above 95%”

Absolutely remarkable
