So I don’t know their exact restrictions are but when we were in LA this past weekend there basically were zero in actuality. We saw people masking outside and inside but we never got harassed to wear one ever. We never got asked for a vaccine card even at the rose bowl. We never saw a single facility that limited its capacity. Basically Covid didn’t exist if you didn’t want it to. In effect all masking was at the choice of the individual.

Blew our minds. Compared with New Orleans which actually has been a pain in the arse about it and we have had people actually enforce these rules on us recently it was like being in a bizarro world where California felt more free than south Louisiana. If we watched the news though all you’d hear about is how great Californians are at handling and treating Covid with respect and Louisiana is a bunch of heathens who don’t care about anybody.

Anybody have a similar experience?

shite, most of the people I saw outside had on masks.

The Rose Bowl was the only non mask oasis.

I haven’t been to CA since Covid first hit, but from what I can gather on certain forums that are Covid related, highly vaccinated areas are fed up with Covid restrictions. They feel they did their part and want to be left alone.

The progressive restaurant owners in NOLA view the people of Louisiana as more likely to be “anti-vax rednecks” (not my words) than a Los Angeles resident.

Just a guess , I could be way off.

We were required to show our vaccination cards and ID at a few restaurants.

Keep your mask handy. You can put it over your eyes when you watch the Tigers play next time. From what I witnessed, you’re gonna need it.

Wait, so you mean the Facebook narratives circling around your network are exaggerations?

But that’s up to the individual people. We were never actually forced to do anything by a single business we went to.

Interesting. We went to places in Pasadena, Glendale, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Hermosa and didn’t get anything. I guess we got lucky.

Absolutely not. LA was the dirtiest, filthiest city I have ever encountered. I'd probably wear masks all day if forced to live there too.

Same with downtown Portland. I actually wore a mask outside because the stench of bums and bum piss was so strong.

The entire west coast is dirty as frick now. Sanitation budgets took a hit with the lockdowns.

But was Pasadena dirty? I find that hard to believe.

Yes…it was hit and miss with restaurants and bars. We never knew who would require it to enter and who didn’t.

Parts of it were, absolutely. Bums sleeping on elevators, stairs, sidewalks. Not so bad in old town, but elsewhere...

LA proper looked like it snowed garbage. Just filthy.

BS it was dirty before then. I noticed in 2018 how dirty SF and LA were.

Pasadena was pristine. A bunch of limousine liberals probably who never have to live with their own votes like us plebes do. I wonder why we don’t see any homeless camps there?

You’d be surprised at reality vs news reports. I was in Philly this weekend where they have the vaccine passport and mask mandates. Not one place I went to made me do either.

Yep, been in LA a few times and it's always nasty. Not as nasty as it is now, but still pretty pathetic.

Seriously, you could not enter without a vaccine card?

I felt exactly as you described in the liberal Mecca of chicago a few weeks ago. People looked at me like a fool when I walked into restaurants/coffee shops wearing a mask. Chicago more free than Nola… who woulda thought?
