“We’re not in the red zone but we’re in the yellow zone,” you told the nytimes, explaining why you planned to wait three to five days before deciding whether to pull back on the city’s reopening (2/thread)

it's pretty well understood by now that one of the reasons la became california's worst hotspot because you waited just a few days longer than san francisco did to shut down in march (3/thread)

exactly 3 days longer, in fact. source: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-05-23/la-county-coronavirus-hot-spot-los-angeles (4/thread)

and now you're going to wait (at least) 3 days again?!? your hesitation then was totally understandable, we didn't know what we know now. but now? again? seriously??? (5/thread)

i'm glad, @MayorOfLA, that you're not a complete blooming idiot like greg abbott, who appears to have learned just this week that “People go to bars to get close and to drink and to socialize. And that’s the kind of thing that stokes the spread of the coronavirus." (6/thread)

but at least he did learn! can we please do some learning here in la, too? pretty please? (end/thread)
