NEWS on COVID-19 in California: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-12-15/southern-california-icu-capacity-covid-19-surge
Intensive care unit beds across Southern California are plummeting to critical levels, with capacity falling to 1% in Ventura County and 0% in Riverside County while Los Angeles County — home to 10 million people — had fewer than 100 beds available.
But the worst of the surge is still to come, experts say. L.A. County has more than 4,400 people hospitalized with COVID-19, and officials said that number could rise to 5,000 by the weekend.
The shortages come as the coronavirus continues to rage across the state. A Los Angeles Times county-by-county tally showed an unprecedented 42,129 cases reported Monday. That number breaks the single-day record set Dec. 8, when 35,400 coronavirus cases were recorded.
“Our reality is frightening at the moment,” L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said.
In L.A. County, COVID-19 hospitalizations are now six times higher than they were in mid-October. On Sunday, there were 935 coronavirus patients in L.A. County’s limited supply of intensive care unit beds — more than quadruple the number from Nov. 1.
In Ventura County, health officer Dr. Robert Levin voiced dismay at people persisting with parties, indoor church services and youth sports events that are currently banned because of the extraordinary public health crisis.
“The numbers are getting to be astronomical. People are going to die that don’t need to die,” Levin said Monday.
