The coronavirus pandemic has led to strict government regulations in countries around the world. In many instances, this means staying indoors if you are not a key worker and only leaving for health reasons and groceries. It also means practicing social distancing in the event that you go do outside. This means keeping a distance of two meters (six feet) between yourself and other people at all times, per <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-guidance-on-social-distancing-and-for-vulnerable-people/guidance-on-social-distancing-for-everyone-in-the-uk-and-protecting-older-people-and-vulnerable-adults">Gov.uk</a>. Despite the necessity of these measures, not everyone is listening, putting themselves and those around them at risk. Case in point, this huge wall of cops that dispersed crowds at a one-year-old's birthday party during the LA lockdown. This is the moment the wall of cops dispersed the party:  [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/RvLw0feN-dkXnENEs.mp4||RvLw0feN]] Officers were called to the area because members of the group, which consisted primarily of women and children, appeared "agitated". This eventually turned into a help call because of the size of the crowd. A spokesperson for the LAPD told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11298610/huge-wall-of-cops-line-street-to-break-up-one-year-old-girls-birthday-party-during-la-coronavirus-lockdown/">The Sun</a>: "On March 28th, 2020, around 6:00 p.m., 77th Area officers responded to a radio call of a large party creating a disturbance in the 5400 block of 4th Avenue. "It turned into a help call, due to the size of the crowd, with streets being blocked by party goers. "The party was dispersed and no arrests were made." <img class="wp-image-12590616 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/04/a5df1aec-party-cops-1.jpg" alt="Birthday balloons." width="760" height="486" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Pexels]] In an interview with <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/coronavirus-la-mayor-garcetti-explains-californias-stay-at-home-order-1285610">Good Morning America</a>, LA Mayor Eric Garcetti said of the city's stay-at-home order: "I think we all fantasize that our city, our state, our country, has a protective moat. If we can just keep those people out, if we can somehow have a bubble around us, it's not coming. "But the history is clear and this disease is clear: we have to take steps early. "None of us have the adequate infrastructure for this and our best shot is to push this out. And these are acts of love for the people and precious lives we want to protect." This comes as Donald Trump extended social distancing measures in the US until April 30. He has done so in the hope of flattening the curve of cases to give medical services the best chance of coping. "Nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory is won," he said, per <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-outbreak-03-29-20-intl-hnk/h_e51d862e4fd8f368ae58cdddaec3bb52">CNN</a>.
