As COVID-19 cases skyrocket in California, the Los Angeles County superspreader task force is cracking down on underground parties featuring booze, strippers, and hundreds of revelers.
Last Thursday night, the task force broke up three parties, resulting in 137 arrests and the recovery of a discarded firearm. Pictures of the underground shindigs show stripper poles in lounges full of alcohol and hookah.
Then on Friday, KTTV embedded with the task force as they broke up a "stripper party" at a flower shop in southeast LA County.

"Inside the flower shop, there were in excess of 50 partygoers, most of whom were not wearing masks," LASD Captain Ed Wells told the local news outlet. "All of whom were arrested and issued a promise to appear."
According to LA County's "Safer at Home" order, all public and private gatherings with people from more than one household are currently prohibited, except for outdoor religious services and outdoor political expression events.
