have we traced the uptick in covid cases to outdoor dining? follow-up question, assuming there was going to be a fall / winter spike in cases, as we have expected since march, why have we not built additional temporary emergency facilities?

to some extent, yes: https://la.eater.com/2020/12/1/21783612/outdoor-dining-data-restaurants-los-angeles-county-public-health-coronavirus-why-numbers … a broader lesson here is that people have difficulty absorbing the effects of exponential growth when considering policy responses. The political support would clearly be much higher today if LA had waited to close outdoor dining
