  1. Expecting a Republican, Trump, Bush, Parris, etc. to handle a crisis is like wipingyourasswithaturd.

    Trump made matters worse every time he opened his mouth.

  2. Please update your information, it has been revealed that the case in Lancaster is not real. As of now, we have no COVID-19 case in any part of the Antelope Valley.

    • What strings did Rex pull to hide that? We know he’s got the DA in his back pocket. The health department too?

  3. Devastating to hear but your informing us about thr city they live…. you also need inform others where they visited stores, schools, neighborhood other local cities….so if anyone else has come into contact there aware.

  4. So why are walmarts that dont adhere to the social distancing allowing insane qmpunts of people in the store at once.

    • @Kolo

      I guess those crowds rushing to get into Walmart have no responsibility to be careful.

      So be it.

  5. Everyone needs to stop panicking so freaked much they doing to much look at them all shopping like the world is ending or that zombies are chasing them to eat them stop that already.

    • Now is the time to tell idiotic close talking strangers to back the hell off and quit suffocating our personal space. Say what you want to say, do what you want to do, as long as you’re two arms length away from me you can have the world without taking Lysol spray or worse to the face.

  6. Our business is in Acton. We were hoping that the Corona Virus didn’t make it up here. Obviously it passed us since its in Lancaster. We pray for everyone out there during this pandemic. Thank you for sharing this list and article. It makes us realize how close it really is and that we all need to comply with the guidelines.

  7. What is the Mayor Rex Parris plan to do to protect the community of Lancaater.
    Im a bus driver and we still out here providing service to the community and taking risk everyday.
    Patiently waiting

  8. Are these people on this list being quarantined? And how do you know Really how many are affected when 1 person can affect a thousand others and the symptoms don’t always show up on a person they don’t even know they have this virus!

    • I thought lancaster hospital said they would have to close down if the vote didnt pass. So close down already. Let the better angels take over and do a much better job. Ill bet if the vote did pass this whole covid scare would of suddenly disipated into the political air.
