Updates
Later: I don't think folks realize "we're" dealing with three outbreaks simultaneously: Covid-19; "seasonal flu; and, RSV (respiratory syncytial virus).
Later: from The LA Times today:
L.A. is seeing a major COVID surge as viral illnesses stress hospitals statewide
Coronavirus case and hospitalization rates have risen dramatically in Los Angeles County, which reentered the medium COVID-19 community level for the first time since the end of the summer Omicron wave, raising the possibility again of an indoor masking mandate.
Local and state health officials worry about difficult times ahead for California’s healthcare system, not only because of COVID-19, but also flu and RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus. Children’s hospitals throughout the state are already under stress because of RSV and other viral illnesses: Orange County declared a public emergency, and some San Diego County hospitals had to set up overflow tents outside of their emergency departments.
In Fresno County, the strain on hospitals extended to those for adults. At several hospitals, according to the county health department, “emergency rooms are close to disaster levels.”
