Michelle Goldson, RN is working with a covid positive patient inside the ICU at Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital on Thursday, Dec. 17, 020 in Los Angeles, CA.Some patients at one Los Angeles hospital are now being treated in the gift shop and chapel as COVID-19 cases surge and capacity is limited.
COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County continue to break records and many intensive-care units have reached 0% capacity in the past several weeks. Public health experts attribute the rise mainly to people traveling and visiting friends and family during the holidays. A Los Angeles hospital is so overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases that it's now forced to treat some patients in the gift shop and chapel,Dr. Elaine Batchlor, CEO of Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital said if cases continue to rise, they may have to result to wartime techniques designed to ration care.
"We may be forced to do something that, as health professionals, we all really just loathe having to even think about," Batchlor told CNN's Brooke Baldwin.Dr. Oscar Casillas, the medical director for the hospital's emergency department, told The Times that while the emergency department could normally see about 30 people at a time, they've seen as much as 100 people a day amid the pandemic. "Everything is backed up all the way to the street," Casillas said.
Meanwhile in Florida Gov has things full steam ahead to get tourist in and our little town has 190 severe Covid patients in hospital today! Smh at the non believers spreading this virus.
Trump is totally Blameworthy for this aftermath.

Here's that hospital's charitable foundation website:
Why don’t’t the churches open their doors to heal the sick. They are more concerned about losing donations. Jesus healed the sick. All they have to do is provide the space. That’s what will bring people back to church. Do God’s Will.
Gift Shop? Who the fuck has a gift shop at a Hospital?
