The chief nursing officer at one of California s busiest hospitals has labelled the current COVID situation in California a “disaster” for her staff, saying the health crisis is worse than it was in July.
California has seen a 63 per cent increase in hospitalisations over the last two weeks.
At the Harbor UCLA Medical Centre, patients have been moved to the emergency room because there are no more intensive care unit beds available for use.
Los Angeles County has not a single licensed ICU bed open, all 25,000 of them are full.
Harbor UCLA Medical Centre s Nancy Blake said it’s a disaster right now for our staff, the patients are extremely sick, this is a horrible disease.
