On June 20, the day after bars reopened in L.A. County, half a million people went out for a drink.

On Sunday, eight days later, Gov. Gavin Newsom cited surging coronavirus numbers as he ordered all bars in L.A. County, along with six others, to shut back down immediately. The other counties: Fresno, San Joaquin, Kings, Kern, Imperial, and Tulare. “Californians must remain vigilant against this virus,” Newsom said. “Covid-19 is still circulating in California, and in some parts of the state, growing stronger.” L.A.

The proportion of young people diagnosed with Covid-19 has surged sharply in recent weeks. Some officials have suggested that people in their teens and 20s, feeling invincible, may be behaving recklessly at parties and nightspots. Another factor that could be at work: As businesses reopen, workers on the front lines of retail and restaurants tend to be younger. Mercury News | L.A. Times

☝️ Instagrammer @coschaos shared this gorgeous view photographed from the Bay Area’s Mount Umunhum, one the tallest peaks in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

The Orange County Democratic Party passed a resolution calling for John Wayne Airport to be renamed. The movie star’s legacy has been reevaluated in light of his racist and homophobic views expressed during a 1971 interview with Playboy magazine: “I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility.” Some want to restore the airport’s old name: Orange County Airport.

In 1907, a cross atop Mount Rubidoux just west of downtown Riverside was dedicated in honor of Junipero Serra. Since then, a series of crosses culminating in the current steel-and-concrete version has served as one of the Inland Empire’s most recognizable landmarks and the centerpiece for the nation’s oldest outdoor sunrise Easter service. On Friday night, the cross was vandalized. Among the messages: “Serra was a pedophile murderer.” Press-Enterprise | KTLA

A San Diego Gas and Electric employee named Emmanuel Cafferty was fired after a picture of him making an “okay” hand gesture appeared online. A version of the symbol has been appropriated by white supremacists. But Cafferty, who is Mexican American, said he knew nothing about that. “If I was a white supremacist,” he said, “I would literally have to hate 75 percent of myself.” Cafferty’s firing is recounted in a political scientist’s call to “Stop Firing the Innocent.” The Atlantic
