        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kelly Dodd continued to downplay the coronavirus pandemic via social media over the holiday weekend.</p><p>On Monday, the &#8220;Real Housewives of Orange County&#8221; star — who <strong>has gotten heat</strong> for her controversial comments about COVID-19 — appeared celebratory when she saw mall patrons not wearing face masks while out to eat in her California hometown. <strong>Per the Centers for Disease Control</strong>, masks could help stop the spread.</p><p>&#8220;Yay, we finally get to have a meal out,&#8221; Dodd said on her Instagram Stories. &#8220;Yay, no one is wearing a mask. I love it. Yay!&#8221;</p><p>Once inside the restaurant, Dodd, 44, repeated, &#8220;No one is wearing masks here in Orange County. Yup, because no one is dying here of the virus.&#8221; Meanwhile, servers wearing masks were clearly visible in the shot.</p><p>Earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom <strong>announced modifications</strong> to California&#8217;s stay-at-home order that would allow restaurants and malls to re-open in accordance with specific guidelines.</p><p>Despite Dodd&#8217;s claim that &#8220;no one is dying here,&#8221; Orange County recorded 14 new coronavirus-related deaths last Thursday — the most in a single day in the area since the pandemic began — <strong>according to The Los Angeles Times</strong>. The county&#8217;s <strong>total death toll was up to 133</strong> as of Monday.</p><p>Dodd shared a quote on her Instagram that said, &#8220;It&#8217;s not the government&#8217;s job to protect my health. It&#8217;s the government&#8217;s job to protect my RIGHTS. It&#8217;s my job to protect my health. When you trade liberty for safety you end up losing both.&#8221;</p><p>The reality star has been outspoken about her views on the outbreak that has claimed the lives of more than 346,000 people worldwide.</p><p>The &#8220;RHOC&#8221; star was first <strong>blasted on social media</strong> for saying coronavirus is &#8220;God&#8217;s way of thinning the heard.&#8221; She then apologized profusely for her comment.</p><p>However, Dodd soon made a controversial remark again by comparing the virus to the flu and adding, &#8220;Well, people are going to die! I’m sorry to tell ya.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
