'I think we all have never wanted science to work so quickly. But until there's either a vaccine, some sort of pharmaceutical intervention, or herd immunity, the science is the science,' Garcetti said on CNN Wednesday.
"It's difficult to imagine us getting together in the thousands anytime soon, so I think we should be prepared for that this year,"on Wednesday night."I think we all have never wanted science to work so quickly. But until there's either a vaccine, some sort of pharmaceutical intervention, or herd immunity, the science is the science. And public health officials have made very clear we have miles and miles to walk before we can be back in those environments.
Garcetti's comments echoed those made by New York City mayor Bill de Blasio to CNN earlier Wednesday. "I've got to see in my city real, steady progress, even to start to think about relaxing some of those social distancing standards even a little bit,"."I want to get people back to work, of course. I want to get kids back to school. But I think it will take months to go through that whole sequence.
"And the last thing I want to do is gather 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 people in one place. That's like the exact opposite of social distancing." For Los Angeles, that could mean the opening of the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood – the future home of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers – might take place in front of no fans.
