In the news it’s the perfect amalgamation of everything 2020 stands for, the city of Los Angeles changes course on decision to shut down a top COVID-19 testing site to host the sex swap filming by Addison Rae She is all that remake. Through the Los Angeles Times, the studio behind the film, Miramax, was granted a one-day filming permit at the city’s Union Station on December 1, which effectively forced “504 people” with appointments for coronavirus testing to seek their tests in another place that would “honor” them. However, perhaps feeling that prioritizing the career of a TikTok star (and the 170-person film crew) over a deadly pandemic was a difficult move, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted early Tuesday that his team had “worked to reopen testing” at Union Station, with the scheduled COVID-19 appointments proceeding as usual today. (To be fair, the Times suggests that the mayor’s office was not aware of the issue until the reports surfaced.) It is all that, not a typo, would still be filming at the station, but not near the test site to cause an interruption. And now for a PSA to Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook: Stay away, away from this mess.
