The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on Thursday confirmed four more cases of coronavirus in L.A. County, bringing the county’s total to 11.
“We are keeping a close eye on the developments with the goal of raising awareness and informing our residents on ways to keep themselves safe and prepared,” said Palmdale City Manager J.J. Murphy. “Mayor Hofbauer and city staff are participating in coronavirus update telebriefings with the County. At this time, there is no immediate threat to the local public who haven’t traveled overseas, but we are actively sharing important information on our website and our social media outlets on a daily basis. We are working closely with the appropriate agencies and health care organizations to do whatever we deem necessary to prepare for and respond to any outbreaks in Palmdale.”
“The health of our residents is of the utmost importance,” said Palmdale Mayor Steve Hofbauer. “I am confident that city staff are doing everything within their power to inform and protect our residents. In this incident, sharing timely information from various sources is critical.”
“Some of the most important steps people can take is to stay at home when they’re sick and wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water after using the restroom, coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose,” said Emergency Services Coordinator Nazy Chiniforoushan. “Limiting your close contact with people who are sick, keeping surfaces and frequently touched objects clean and disinfected, and getting a flu shot are also good practices.”
The city of Palmdale advises residents to consult trusted sources for the latest, accurate information about novel coronavirus. Helpful sites include:

How nice that Trump does yer thinkin’ for ya, Trumpist.
It frees your mind up to do ………………….what is it that you do do?
Not to worry though. Your guy says you should be going back to work by Easter and everything will be fine. Talk about delusional. Trump is delusional and so are his fans such as yourself.
However, you seem to enjoy it while he is in a constant state of severe angst about everything. Plus, the bailout isn’t going to bailout his hotels, resorts and casinos. Ah, shucks.
He might have to go back to reality tv after November or maybe make license plates at Leavenworth. He can have the same cell as hotel owner Leona Helmsley had. The Southern District of New York is a-waiting for him like a “spida”. You could be pen pals while he does time.
Trump in an orange jumpsuit would be like reverse camouflage. Where did he go?
Trumpist#1 says
Para 1: Thinking? Thinking? Get real, we don’t think. That’s for “woke” people. We Trumpers just react like single-cell amoebas.
Para 2: THIS is what I do. I annoy you! It’s my mandate from heaven.
Last Para: That’s funny. He would be hard to see.

Finally, Trumpist. You presented the TRUTH in 3 easy paragraphs. Bless you and the horse you rode up on.
