For the first time since late September, the number of people in Los Angeles County hospitals with COVID-19 surpassed the 1,000 mark Tuesday, echoing a sharp upward trend in infections and a dramatic increase in the rate of people testing positive for the virus.
According to state figures, there were 1,069 COVID-positive patients in Los Angeles County hospitals as of Tuesday, up from 966 on Monday. Of those patients, 207 were being treated in intensive care, up from 200 a day earlier.
The increase is being closely watched by public health officials concerned that hospitals -- which expanded capacity to handle COVID patient numbers that topped 8,000 last January -- are less equipped to cope with such an intense surge this winter due to various factors, most notably a drop in staffing.
The L.A. County increase in COVID hospitalizations has been rapid, jumping by 30% over the past week. One month ago, on Nov. 27, the state reported just 568 virus patients in the county.
Also rapidly rising is the rate of people testing positive for the virus. According to the county Department of Public Health, the seven-day average daily rate of people testing positive for the virus rose to 14.5% as of Tuesday. One week ago, the rate was 3%. On Nov. 22, it was 0.9%.

What is the asterisk for?
Funny that.
It’s a pandemic of the vaxxed.
The solution is simple. Throw that garbage clot shot toxic poison in the landfill where it belongs.
Thanks for the heads up. It would be nice if there would be more info spread around about what to do and how to treat it instead of just “vaccinate and mask up.”
I hope your energy returns soon! So far I had no energy on Day 1 but normal energy on Days 2-4.
I’ll report on Day 5 tomorrow. . .
Bingo! Follow the money.
Every poor person knows they can get FREE treatments if needed at hospital ERs.
These hospitalizations are for many reasons, they test everyone. If the tests come back positive it’s Covid. Nevermind if it was appendicitis.
It fits their agenda and with limited staffing....horrors.
Not buying it.
Where did you get that $32,000 number? Please post links.

At least 242,433,620 people or 74% of the population who have received at least one dose, think opposite of you LOL.
When overwhelming majority of people think opposite of you, might be a good time to consult a good shrink.
Wait, hold on. “With COVID” means that they could have come in for any reason but happened to test positive. “From COVID” means that COVID is the reason they are hospitalized. Since they test every single person who comes in the doors, this is a crucial distinction to make.
Open borders Biden takes bow.

There are far more sheep than there are leaders who think for themselves. Just because a certain number of people do something is not a valid reason to do the same.
You sound like some kid: “But everybody else is doing it!”
Stop worrying about what everybody else is doing or not doing. It’s none of your business. And stop shilling.
Factcheck.org ref: hospital payments and the covid 19 death count, as part of the CARES act still paying to get patients on ventilators FOLLOW the money
I am not the type to do what everybody else is doing.
At age nearing 82, I am the lone person over 80 in my gym.
Daily exercise routine got rid of a basket case of my health issues in my mid-50’s such as pre-diabetic abnormal A1C, High blood pressure, panic attacks in closed malls, fainting spells at my desk job, chest pains after eating any good meal, hip joint pain, knee joint pain, and as a bonus no colds or flu in 15 years.
Never expected to make it past 75 because no males in my family ever made it past 75. Now 100 looks quite doable, if I have the discipline to drag my butt to the gym every day (Ok I skip gym after mowing lawn with a push mower during hot and humid Florida summers). The bonus of daily exercise is pain free and prescription free living.
It is really sad that no doctor ever pushed me to exercise daily. I rarely see people of Medicare age in the Gym.
I guess I am unique LOL.
I think that is excellent and I honestly hope you keep on keeping on.
And maybe stop trying to ridicule people who don’t want to take the shots. It’s an individual decision and just because a lot of people are doing it doesn’t mean everybody has to. People have their reasons for taking or not taking the shots.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Thank you for not posting that you’re 81.
I do not try to ridicule anyone who wishes to skip the experimental vaccine. It is just the opposite, there have been dozens of posts ridiculing me for taking the jabs and calling me a sheeple for taking orders from the CDC. I took the jabs not because I needed them, but as a possible extra protection for my wife who is fighting advanced cancer for 4 years and has weakened immune system for many chemo & radiation treatments. If I brought the infection home, she would be at serious risk.
Please spread the word about benefits of regular exercise. Especially for people over age 50. And have a happy and wonderful new year.
LOL, next posting of age will be when I reach 90 without prescriptions or bodily pain. Please spread the word about benefits of regular aerobic exercise to seniors.
