The Air Force, at California’s request, has assigned 160 doctors, nurses and other health care specialists to the state.

Some teams deployed Thursday, including 20 people each to Eisenhower Health Hospital in Riverside County and Adventist Health Lodi Memorial Hospital in San Joaquin County.

Both hospitals had beds available for extra patients, but they did not have the staff to care for them. It’s highlighting a growing problem across the state as coronavirus cases increase.

And of course they cannot inquire about the legal status of the patients.

My buddy’s wife is a nurse at Lodi memorial.

He says more than half of staff is out with the ‘Rona.

Doctors, nurses, janitors etc.

more than half.

[BenLurkin]

interesting

[ncalburt]

Wow , what a confusing and poorly written article.

[mewzilla]

It’s not a poorly written article.

It’s well-written propaganda.

[Vendome]

No tents?

[Vendome]

Bingo!

Been telling everyone the hospitals are not overwhelmed because we are out of anything except qualified human professional staff.

Many have been laid off/furloughed and other are out for Rona contact or testing positive...

[ransomnote]

Shut down elective treatments. Staff goes home - finds other jobs. Need staff - complain.

[HypatiaTaught]

Oh noes... whats we to dooze?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I have no respect for anyone and I mean anyone who buys into this propaganda fear-porn piece.

Look to Sweden for the true facts on the ground.

[ncalburt]

True .
The entire story is confusing.
Many hospitals are laying off staff .

[BenLurkin]

Gentlemen,

Are you saying that the Air Force, at California’s request, has not assigned 160 doctors, nurses and other health care specialists to the state?

[ncalburt]

That is the true story .
The staff moved on and found other jobs while others
are in home quarantine.
This hit piece is garbled propaganda .

[ncalburt]

What ?
The lefty reporter missed the real story .
Another poster already called it .
The hospital admin reduced staff too dramatically because the elective surgery directives of DR FTRUMP and the staff moved to new jobs .Then the sick Mexicans Green carders were allowed to pour over the border .
Surprise .

[BenLurkin]

Ah. I see.

Where can I find that report?

[shanover]

Pure BS. Doesn’t matter. I know a great many who are scared sh*tless and believe it all.

[Okeydoker]

You won’t. There is no such report. These are FR opinions. They are never based on facts so there is no evidence to support them. Q probably told them in a secret dropping.

[Cobra64]

Who’s Rona? Is she cute?

[antidemoncrat]

How about sending military support to end the violent “peaceful protests” in your cities....oh no, we don’t want federal interference.

The hospitals in my town are, thankfully, not overrun with Wuhan patients, but because of the virus, virtually all non-essential/elective surgeries have been cancelled/postponed. Was told by someone who worked at one hospital that doctors have been asked to take salary cuts. Layoffs are also happening.
