LA County is reporting 288 new deaths from COVID today as well as and 11,994 new cases. Our deaths are really high -- the consequence of the Thanksgiving surge -- and our cases are climbing, linked to a holiday surge.

61 of the 288 deaths reported today were people between the ages of 50 and 64
17 were between 30 and 49
2 were between 18 and 29

LA County public health director Barbara Ferrer: "Please do not underestimate this virus or let your drive to interact in person with friends outweigh following the safety measures that are put in place to save lives."
Ferrer: "Like many residents, I am cheering for the Rams in the playoffs and grateful to be able to watch basketball games again, but we cannot make the same mistakes we did last year."
Ferrer: "There were far too many gatherings, viewing parties, and celebrations with others that contributed to increased cases; the outcome will be disastrous to our healthcare system if we don’t follow the rules.”
