In California, the highest infection and hospital capacity rates are in the San Diego and Los Angeles metro areas.

Also, the San Joaquin Valley - where there is a heavy presence of Hispanic farm labor.

Bottom Line - low skill immigrant laborers tend to live in high density housing and often work all day in very close quarters.

That is the perfect storm for an epidemic of respiratory infections.

Ha! Not just CA....the article starts off talking about El Paso....and people from Mexico being transported ... via El Paso ambulances, from the border, to EP hospitals!

El Paso’s ‘spike’ and attempted shut down, was because of MEXICAN, China Flu patients being imported to EP TX hospitals.

I went to the link to read the article, then I read some of the comments.

Here is one by a Mark De Sanctis: “Imagine the books that will be written about how we have separated families and put kids in cages because of this president while all of America just watched...”

Texas Ping, the Best State in the USA!

So the hospitals are paid by the Texas and the federal governments for costs related to CoViD patients?

Not surprising that health care management is taking advantage of a loop hole.

And I am sure that, once discharged, they are transported back across the International Bridge back to their homes in Mexico ...

Probably too expensive to procure some thermometers to check the people coming in.

Either that, or racist.

The Judiciary is thoroughly corrupt. We will not get a fair or impartial shake from them. There is more than enough evidence of vote fraud. There are some on this forum who want to throw in the towel, but I am not one of them.

Look at what is happening in El Paso right now, and what was going on in the border counties over the summer, but don’t shut the border down or anything.

It has been easy for politicians to spends our money, as though the good faith and credit of the United States is unlimited.

Ow, how to change that ...

Meanwhile, Texas has had to send healthcare workers from all over to help El Paso, and they are sending patients to other hospitals. Our hospital here in West Texas is getting close to full capacity for Covid patients.

NM Governor has stated they may have to start rationing care because of shortages of beds, staff, ICU’s.
She’s been accused of flying in Mexican patients for the past 6 months.
