This is all a hoax. The local, city, county, and state agencies have been blowing this out of proportion and nobody I know has caught this infection. This shutdown is ruining the economy and trampling my right to be a completely irresponsible moron. Let’s all gather and protest in front of the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital ER to show the rest of these idiots that we mean business. Who is with me?!
Good one! Gotta admit you had me there for your 1st. two lines.
What have you been smoking.

Yeah….. no one likes to follow these rules
But I don’t think they r making this up
It’s realistic the hospital doesn’t make this up
What is the point?????
Two Santa Clarita Bus drivers had died from getting infected. One of them was in his 30’s.
Stop with the word hoax can we just retire the word already
People are probably getting infected since nurses and doctors are asked to wear PPE for 5 days without changing it out. Anyone? Discuss cross contamination. Or is it all the non mask wearers? I have yet to see a single person without a mask. Stop the nonsense blame game. Look at ALL possible reasons. Testing influxes and closures, causing surges in numbers. Same people testing positive, shouldn’t reflect as another positive case. We should be receiving better accurate information, yet we are not.
I thought that Sand Canyon was being counted together either in unincorporated Canyon Country or Santa Clarita.
Why the change?
At one point, the jails had over 60% of the cases in the Santa Clarita Valley. That number is stabilizing and the numbers in the community are growing by over 50 a day on most days. The jails still account for about half our cases, but that number is changing. We are having a lot more community spread. Please, please wear a mask, social distance and look out for one another. Your mask protects me, mine protects you. It’s a shame it works that way because I have a lot more faith in myself than I do in most people. Anti-maskers are putting others in danger. People have so many false ideas about this virus. I ran up to the corner store last night to get a couple things we needed for dinner. I was in my mask as is mandated, and as I was starting to walk out, a woman ran past me without a mask. I said “mask”. She screamed and yelled at me like you wouldn’t believe. One of her naive statements (among many) was “I was tested, I’m not sick!” I could’ve argued with her, but her yelling at me without a mask, puts me at risk. When was she tested? A week ago, four days ago, two days ago. All that says is she was negative at that moment. She could’ve been anywhere since then and most certainly without a mask. One test is not a run free without a mask pass. So frustrating that my life is in these peoples hands.
You should stay home if you are high risk or you care for someone considered high risk. Take care of yourself since we can not rely on others. ??
There is NO body count high enough that will prompt Trump and his moronic fan base to concede to scientific fact that this pandemic is real. Bottom line: Mask it or Casket;
