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.

Since when did all of southern California become the “Los Angeles area”?

Since forever. People from that area consider everything from Thousand Oaks to San Ysidro, LA. It's all concrete, people, buildings, homes and streets from the Mexican border to Santa Monica Mountains...It's one big city, jammed with about 25,000,000 people, with only imaginary lines separating the cities.

Im calling bullcrap.

Here’s the real story

What happened to the following which of existed with mankind for hundreds of years and I’ve caused overflowing capacity at hospitals for every year until 2020? And misery. And death.

H1N1. 27 known variants
Influenza A and B
pneumonia
Common cold viruses. 34 known variants

The answer is plain and simple v. and it’s because this is a worldwide communist global plot to take over and force free people to submit!!!!

Many are just ponds in the scheme -, for example Democrats

Scumbag loser leftists. will go along with any scheme ; No
matter how dastardly !! as long as they get their pay off

And you know what when you look at Brad Raffensberger and the feckless loser governor of Georgia. Kemp.

When you look at all those payoffs they got from smart Mattick into menu in which they’re trying their best to hide that Sidney Powell has the receipts for

You see they probably 60 to 70% of Republicans are the same and will just take communist money , lie to you and act like Democrats

The bottom line is we need to end this coronavirus bull crap

1- never get tested
2- never take the vaccine
3- never get on their radar
4- don’t talk about it - turn it off.
5- shut people down who try and hype it
6- no masks. No quarter given to KARENS

LA had 73 deaths yesterday...so a major metropolis like Los Angeles can’t handle that amount, which is likely around average? They shouldn’t have spent the last 40 years turning themselves into a 3rd World County. The beds are probably filled with illegals coming up from Mexico to get American care for free.

LA has 144 deaths a day via covid, where are the bodies? Nazi lime pits as my father bore witness to while he was in the concentration camp?

I was in an emergency room in Oakland yesterday. It took seven hours to get a bed. When I was treated and left the hospital at 2 am, I saw that the ambulance cases were all lined up in the parking lot.

I’m feeling much better today, thank you.

They are working exactly as they were supposed to work. it is called the boiled frog approach. The economy of the United States is being slowly strangled and the frogs do no=t realize that they are being boiled[strangled. And also the World.

Yet it is NOT “Southern California” in spite of the media and Angelenos arrogantly thinking of L.A. as the “core” or “center of it all - which it is not.

The beauty of Southern California is it has no “center”.

Los Angeles county is not part of the Inland Empire (western San Bernardino & Riverside counties) nor is it San Diego county, nor is it Orange County, nor is it the high desert, nor is it the eastern region of San Bernardino & Riverside Counties, nor is it Imeprial County, yet all of those are MOST of Southern California.

No matter how much highways connect them all, each comprises an individuality that is NOT “Los Angeles”.

you got it, southern california extends from san diego/imperial county, riverside, san Bernardino, LA county, ventura santa barbara san luis obispo up to mono county. so a good 1/2 of California has zero ICU beds, or so Newscum has been saying

This is far more about widespread disobedience to the vile Newsom's every new command than it is about the Covid Cootie "surge" for which the vile Newsom is directly responsible. Eff that pansy-sounding politician and his gravelly voice resulting by what I conclude is a throat irritation caused by an allergic reaction to semen.

I'm just fed up with the vile Newsom's treatment of American citizens living in California!

How can all these deaths be overwhelming the hospitals? Dead people don’t require any care.
The morgues aren’t overloaded...

My city hasn’t been one of those crack down hard places. Except for being threatened with arrest for not using a mask at hospitals, i havent used a mask since this whole charade began. Most people here, haven’t. Yet we are among the lowest ranked in the country for covid issues.

Places that cracked down hard ended up with bigger issues. I think the masks hold in heat and moisture and make things worse.

I have a few spares that i cut slits in for those times when the stupid insist on exibiting their insecurities.
