If you are wondering what all those media choppers are doing hovering over Echo Park, they are focused on the long line at the Dodger Stadium COVID testing site.

Big line for COVID testing at LA County’s largest testing site, Dodger Stadium. Testing was expanded today because of the spike in cases but you’ll need to be patient if you come here...maybe bring a good podcast or two😬 @CBSLA @KCBSKCALDesk
