Of the deaths reported Wednesday, 24 patients were over 65 and 13 of those had underlying conditions. Eleven people were between 41 and 65, seven of which had underlying conditions, and one person who died was between 18 and 40 and had an underlying condition...

A total of 133 people have died after living in one of these institutions, primarily at skilled nursing homes or assisted living facilities, and they represent 33% of all deaths...

As a result, officials have assigned additional staff to increase support to nursing homes and assisted living facilities, and a team has been formed to ensure that employees have enough personal protective equipment.

That’s okay. Just remember to wonder the same when people discuss death counts from seasonal flu.

Now that billions of dollars are involved, I don’t believe any numbers coming out of the major Cities.

These story will be constant for the rest of the month. The MSM/DNC is pulling out all the stops to keep it shut down.
The Wall Street A-Holes told Trump to keep it closed today.
Trump will need nerves of steal to resist whats coming in the next to weeks. It will get much worse once he makes a formal announcement we are opening. Money over lives -get ready.

10,500?

That’s a minor league stadium full of people. If that many people showed up for a dodger game, they could all sit 20 feet apart.

That many people are hospitalized for traffic accidents in Los Angeles County every month.

Everyone Panic!!!!

“.in LA County they are just sticking folks on ventilators til they croak”

****

my neighbor HAD the China virus weeks ago and was sent back home “to die” because they supposedly ran out of ventilators.

He just slept it off, and even wrote a will. 5 days he slept until the fever broke on the 6th. Went back to the hospital 5 days later to check up and was NEGATIVE.

Now that stupid hospital which wanted him dead WANTS him back to donate his plasma as he is now immune to it.

Exactly. Following in DeBlasio’s footsteps?

Footnote:

“34% were Latinx”

What’s “Latinx”? The proper word is “Latino”.

I refuse to bend to the Newspeak re-orientation of language.
