LOS ANGELES – As of late last month, outdoor eating – no need for masks – was the closest thing to pre-epidemic nature to the 10 million people living in Los Angeles County. But amid rising hospital admissions and cases of corona virus, the county health department recently said outdoor eating should be stopped completely for the first time since May. At the moment, he is angry at the order and worries that it will be a death knell for many of the 30,000 restaurants spread across the vast district with 88 independent jurisdictions, with many wealthy municipalities pushed back and merged – with the vote to create their own health departments. “It’s like a mini-division,” said Rafael J. Snyder, managing director of the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs at California State University in Los Angeles. Sonenshine. “Their complaint is that there is a quantity-matching-all-drugs in the county.” The debates speak to the growing frustration over a nationwide mandate that many elected officials say is inherently a hyperlocal issue. Often there is no process for local ones as the code limits the ease with which they can create their own health departments, and city councils across the country have recently passed resolutions to do just that – or merge with a city they already own. Vote for one of the first people in the city council of West Govina to take such a step. Like Beverly Hills, Lancaster, home to 158,000 people in the high desert, followed suit last week. Hawaii gardens, which are now severely affected, are discussing similar moves by trade, Inglut, West Hollywood and others. In West Govina, the center of the San Gabriel Valley with 105,000 residents, Mayor Tony Wu, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, issued a three-week order the night before Thanksgiving banning outdoor food, sparking a state already in a state of major economic crisis. “We have done everything they were told to do, and it is not fair to say shut down now,” Mr Wu said. “Look, I’m an expatriate mayor. This is a local policy on a local issue.” In Beverly Hills, which has seen a decline in tourism and is facing a $ 27 million budget deficit compared to last year, Mayor Lester Friedman said the county has “lost contact” with Angelenos. In Hawaii Garden, a working-class Latin hamlet was forced to close the city’s main employer and a lucrative casino, city manager Ernie Hernandez said. Can’t eat or pay their bills. “I don’t know what the right answer is, but I don’t know what to close again.” Across the state, daily case reports have tripled in the past month, with more than 25,000 new infections reported on Tuesday. About 8,500 of them were in Los Angeles County, which now has more daily cases of epidemics than ever before, setting daily records for almost a week. On Tuesday, about 3,000 people were hospitalized in the county, with nearly a quarter in intensive care units. Gavin Newsom recently issued a three-week lockout order that went into effect Monday for most of the state, banning outdoor dining and violating Los Angeles County regulations. The county is a freely connected expanse, with the city of Los Angeles an island within four million inhabitants. Dozens of municipalities have many invisible boundaries within its borders that motorists often do not realize when entering one city or leaving another – the chaos may escalate if there are multiple orders and directives across the country. Many cities in the county run their own law enforcement, fire and other government services, although Pasadena and Long Beach only have separate health departments and the decision-making power that comes with it. (Pasadena served outdoor dining until last week; Long Beach, citing increasing corona virus cases, did not do so.) But local mayors have no authority over public schools, transportation and public health – which is often on the county’s supervisory board, which has ensured health in the past That week, Los Angeles County Judge James Sulfon tentatively agreed with the supervisory board, but ordered health officials to produce evidence supporting the ban. Then, at a conclusion on Tuesday, the judge, in conjunction with Sulfonte Restaurants, limited the ban to three weeks to prevent an “indefinite” closure order. Although the state ban still violates this ruling, health officials are now analyzing the possibility of extending the closure to one a week. Epidemiologists say the drive spreads, even without masks. Elected California officials – the first to impose a wide range of locks – took pride in an approach that appeared to prevent the corona virus. Mr. There came a series of dining coffees undermining the request to avoid the crowd, including those who failed to pay attention to their own rules by Newsom and others. Nowadays, businesses and executives have noticed an imbalance in the most recent food ban, with outdoor film crew catering spaces being open, for example, restaurants a few feet away are without a restaurant. With more than 1.3 million virus cases and nearly 20,000 deaths nationwide since March, anger has erupted, with recent protests against the new restrictions outside the homes of the county health director, district supervisors and Mayor Eric Corsetti. Many elected leaders take it upon themselves to create new health sectors even though they have not yet sorted out what it is, however, this week many city councils are discussing a number of ideas such as a contract for services in a la la carte approach. Starting a business is not easy – or financially costly without being big. Health departments inspect, standardize and enforce restaurant safety, and prepare and respond to health emergencies and explosions. The new builds are very expensive – especially during the health crisis – they are employed by specialists in short supply during an epidemic. Plus, cities will need the approval of the state public health department. Calling this moment of rising cases “a critical point where inaction and segregation can lead to loss of life,” state public health officer Erica Bonn said there is currently no process to recognize the new local health jurisdiction. Council decisions are not the first motivation to decentralize the district system. The city of Los Angeles proposed a health department in 2013, but it took up to two years to run, costing at least $ 333 million a year to operate, which former county supervisor Jeev Yaroslavsky called “crazy, stupid.” And “dangerous to public health.” Miguel Santana, the city’s former chief executive, said the financial and infrastructure requirements were “impossible for us to implement” and that the nonprofit site now headed by Fairlex CEO has become a corona virus testing center. Los Angeles currently presents a $ 675 million budget deficit by June and plans deep cuts. Mr. Corsetti did not speak publicly about a new health sector and did not respond to requests for comment, but delegates said he would continue to support the existing structure. “If the LA does not realize the need to have its own department, then with everyone who has published three books on Los Angeles politics, Mr. Sonenshine, its power, money and size. “Expressing dissatisfaction cities should be taken seriously, but you don’t have to do everything again.” Instead of starting anew, Inglut’s Mayor James Butts said one option is for regional alliances, such as a joint South Gulf healthcare company to “focus on food and retail.” The South Bay Cities Council, a joint authority of 16 cities and communities in the unincorporated Los Angeles and Los Angeles counties, weighs in on “merging with a city that already has a health sector.” He said. A West Hollywood councilor, John de Amigo, acknowledged that it would be difficult to create a healthcare sector, but said elected leaders would continue to make progress, saying “we hope to move the city towards sensible actions as soon as possible to keep our community viable by 2021.” There may be qualifications in modifying the blanket commands, the virus knows no bounds. While waiting for the vaccine to be exported, after giving thanks to the hospitals, patience may be the wisest choice, some elected leaders said. “Creating independent health departments while flying, how many expert health officers do you think are out there who need to be hired? “Santa Monica’s Mayor Kevin McGown is one of the few mayors who has joined the county.” How many cities without money can hire them? ” We got the biggest upsurge. We have never seen the worst of it. not yet.”
