The state is improvising new locations for beds on hospital campuses, in hotels, and on medical ships.
As the state rushes to create adequate space for patients, medical gear and supplies are also steadily being used up. Models suggest the system will use as many as 200 million sets of equipment in three months, The Mercury News reported. The rapid use of such space and equipment puts the system at risk of a severe shortage which could further jeopardize the safety of health care workers.
The state is already working to open 3,000 beds in Seton Medical Center in San Mateo County and two more facilities in southern California, according to the report.
Trump doesn’t care
continuing to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt in the midst of a global crisis. Bravo!
We will be lucky if 50k more beds is enough. That is only enough if only 1-2% of CA gets COVID2019
