Reports: Los Angeles Hospitals at Capacity, Turning Away Ambulances, Planning for Rationed Care as COVID Death Toll Mounts
Breitbart ^ | 12/29/2020 | Rebecca Mansour

Posted on 12/29/2020 11:21:57 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Los Angeles area hospitals are at a breaking point due to the coronavirus pandemic in Southern California, where the mounting death toll has overwhelmed intensive care units and led to contingency plans for possibly rationing care.

Though coronavirus hospitalizations are stabilizing in parts of California, patients are still overwhelming hospitals in a large swath of the state, leading California Gov. Gavin Newsom to warn that the state must brace for the effect of a “surge on top of a surge” from recent holiday travel.

This is pathetic. Just a bunch of fear porn to keep the unwashed masses under control.

To wit, most of my work is in LA County hospitals and as a matter of fact I was at Cedars Sinai yesterday and from what I could see there were plenty of open beds and the ER was maybe at 50% capacity.

A picture of an ambulance in the article doesn’t prove a dam thing.

The one completed study I read concluded that budesonide was not effective against covid. Another inhaled corticosteroid was.

Thanks to FReepers for questioning if any patients hospitalized in California, allegedly with “follow the money” COVID-19, are illegal aliens.
Flu cases ‘drop’ 95% compared to last year. Are patients being misdiagnosed as having COVID-19? (10.19.20)

Citizens not only need to work with their respective state lawmakers to amend their state constitutions to make state health official an elected, popular vote position, but also amend to make time-limited by law lockdowns called by governors, mayors and health officials automatically trigger recall elections for those positions.

Considering the actual survival rate, availability of therapeutics and vaccine rollout, NO ONE should be dying from COVID now.

So it's one of two things:

Media is flat-out lying to keep the fear narrative going

*or*

Treatments are being deliberately withheld for political reasons.

If it's the latter, then it's nothing short of GENOCIDE, and Newsom and his crew are committing crimes against humanity..

Really want to see Gavin and his crypt-keeper State Health Director come clean on their rationing plan.

We’re waiting.

Of course, they wouldn’t want to kill anyone by offering them the cheap home treatment available in parts of the 3d world with much lower death rates

“Let me guess... a mix of fear porn and open boarders...”

When did Breitbart start producing fear porn?
Is the article written by a Breitbart reporter?
Can we trust Breitbart?

California has a perfect Mediterranean climate. Can build a field hospital at one of those football stadiums. Call up the National Guard.

How many LA hospital beds are occupied by illegal aliens?

It's important to keep those future Democrat voters healthy!

“Simple solution. Close the border to covid patients.”

You might be correct here. I think they had the same issue on the Texas border a couple months ago. Mexico does not have a good heath system.

Just thinking....thought I read that the President was sending the military to help with the hospital situation....which makes this totally fake news.

I'll go back and do a little googling...

Remember the hospital ship and military field hospital in Central Park in NYC that never got used?

Is it maybe time to announce on all news broadcasts in all languages that vitamin D3 can prevent* the worst cases of covid that require hospitalization? No? Not yet, Mayor Garcetti?

* getting your blood levels up to therapeutic levels can take 2-4 weeks though, from oral supplementation (you want over 60 in bloodstream for adults, higher more like 80+ if you are at risk or elderly)
