States with strict coronavirus lockdowns seem to be reliving the Roaring ’20s. At least two other parties in Los Angeles have resulted in gun violence. “Since Covid, they’ve moved all the parties to the hills,” Sheila Irani, a member of the Hollywood United Neighborhood Council, told the Los Angeles Times. Phil Murphy has been grousing that illicit social gatherings are leading to a virus resurgence. Parties attended by teenagers in the suburb of Middletown have been linked to at least 55 cases, and a Long Beach Island party resulted in 35 lifeguards testing positive.
