    The relentless surge of Covid-19 patients has strained resources and health care workers at Los Angeles hospitals to the point that officials are preparing to ration care with triage officers, who will decide which patients receive what treatment.




    Once a hospital reaches a phase called "crisis care mode," triage officers at the county's four public hospitals will be tasked with deciding how to allocate and reallocate scare resources like ventilators for critically ill patients with a focus of "doing the most good for the most people," according to new guidelines issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

    You have to ask yourself when will the Coronavirus vaccine get to Los Angeles?

    It seems that the COVID-19 vaccines is progressing well, that is maybe except in the Los Angeles area that the local hospitals are filling to capacity. It's time Los Angeles got the vaccine coming their way. Los Angeles needs the vaccine.

    When Biden becomes President, He will have those that enter Government buildings to wear face masks for 100 days. Not a bad idea.

    It would be tough to live in Southern California especially in the Los Angeles Basin where people there are too close together. The vaccine is needed for all in that area.

    Another key question is will enough vaccine is stuck into arms to mitigate the potential increase of a variant strain that will sneak around the current vaccine.

    This would a great cliffhanger if this was just a Stephen King novel. The potential real life is not as exciting.

    COVID-19: why did a second wave occur even in regions hit hard by the first wave?

    Posted on January 10, 2021 by niclewis | 70 comments
    By Nic Lewis

    Introduction

    Many people, myself included, thought that in the many regions where COVID-19 infections were consistently reducing during the summer, indicating that the applicable herd immunity threshold had apparently been crossed, it was unlikely that a major second wave would occur. This thinking has been proved wrong. In this article I give an explanation of why I think major second waves have happened. Continue reading →

    The world is unsustainable and the powers that be very well could have invoked a policy to cut our numbers. The powers that be in this case, China.
    COVID was made in a Chinese lab, it was leaked or unleashed and now we're going through a purge.
    The natural law says every now and then, masses have to die.

    Hmm yes definitely you are almost right. The virus was manufactured but not by the Chinese. It was made by the Lizard people living in the Vatican.
    The same ones who bombed the twin towers and cause global warming with their deaths rays.

    This post belongs in the conspiracy theory section. That's not just my opinion but also the opinion of the site's management. Please don't sully this valuable thread with your nonsense.

    [​IMG]Trump administration to ask states to speed up vaccinations instead of holding back second doses.

    upload_2021-1-12_10-14-50.png
    The U.S. government is asking states to speed up COVID-19 vaccinations to people over the age of 65 and others at risk instead of holding back vaccines for a second dose.

    The Los Angeles area in California needs it the most. They need it now.

    When Joe Biden takes over and he deals with the COVID-19, He'll put us down to earth with this and have us see this the way it is.

    Wear the covid masks or something like for 100 days is a good idea to bring the pandemic down and it could help won't it?

    When EVERYONE does it.......It will make a significant difference. EVERY ONE has to be serious about it. This i s not just "dress up" for Halloween. or some "play Nurse/ Doctor" game.

    THE VAUNTED OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT IS REALLY FALLING DOWN ON THE JOB: Biden’s Heralded COVID Board Has No Idea What His Plan Is Either.

    [​IMG]
    "You know, the thing"
    Joe Biden will unveil his plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic this evening in a prime-time address. No one will be more surprised by it than the advisers that supposedly formed it, according to Politico. Despite Biden’s claim that he would assemble the best and brightest for his COVID-19 advisory board to develop a comprehensive plan to deal with it, as of last night none of its members had even been briefed on what Biden will propose:

    So what exactly will Biden unveil today? Thus far the groundbreaking plan is to, er, continue the Trump plan, what we’re already doing. To wit: Biden will apparently announce that he plans to vaccinate as many people as possible while pushing Americans to maintain social-distancing disciplines, including mask-wearing. On the latter point, having a president endorse that practice a little more enthusiastically might have an impact on its adoption, but otherwise it’s the same as Biden’s other COVID-19 declarations — to do what Donald Trump has already done.

    Hopefully Joe gets all those unused first doses of vaccine sitting in California into warm bodies. How do you think Biden will do this?

    Are you guys suffering the same thing we are. The UK has 20 million doses of the vaccine, but they are in a huge vat waiting to be checked, measured out and bottled.
    There is an international shortage of vials. (Can't figure out why no one thought of making some earlier)

    Starting early in the pandemic, Dodger Stadium served as one of the country’s largest coronavirus testing sites, processing up to 13,000 tests per day. The city of Los Angeles announced Sunday that the site would be converted to a vaccine-only center in less than a week.

    At the Disneyland mega-vaccination site, Orange County health officials hope to vaccinate at least 7,000 people per day. The site will be staffed by around 200 workers, including city and county employees and volunteers recruited and screened by a nonprofit organization, said spokeswoman Jessica Good of the Orange County Health Care Agency.

    Wow. It’s too bad this vaccine came out of nowhere without giving CA time to set some of this up ahead of time.

    And hopefully the vaccine works better at stopping the pandemic in LA than all those tests. :)

    It is encouraging CA may finally be taking vaccination seriously. Thanks for the info.

    Yeah, they almost got sandbagged by another bad Trump plan that held 50% in reserve.
    Luckily Biden got them to change that so they can open super sites.
