With new indoor mask mandate, L.A. County is asking the vaccinated to help the unvaccinated.
Those who have gotten their shots are protected and can get back to normal life after more than a year of pandemic shutdowns.
So the county is now requiring everyone — vaccinated and unvaccinated — to wear masks inside public places. But officials suspect that unvaccinated people have also stopped wearing masks in indoor public settings and businesses, even though they’re still required to do so. Countywide, COVID-19 hospitalizations increased over that same period — from 223 on June 15 to 452 as of Wednesday. Still, cases and hospitalizations are more than 93% below what they were at the peak of the winter surge. And deaths remain at historically low levels, averaging about seven a day.

Arizona county to spend $3M on voting machines after auditArizona's largest county approved nearly $3 million Wednesday for new vote-counting machines to replace those used in the 2020 election, which were given to legislative Republicans for a partisan review of the results. The GOP-controlled Maricopa County Board of Supervisors said the machines were compromised because they were in the control of firms not accredited to handle election equipment. Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, had said she would seek to decertify the machines if the county planned to use them again.
