In El Paso County across from Juarez, Mexico, hospitals once again are buckling under the weight of a new Covid-19 case influx of 300 percent in just the past three weeks, drawing intense media coverage in recent days. Hospitals in California's border-hugging Imperial Valley are jammed with patients, too, transporting "hundreds" of them to interior hospitals to keep their beds clear for more. And in the Arizona-Mexico border counties of Yuma and Santa Cruz, hospitals also are suffering Covid-19 case surges.
