Even as the COVID-19 pandemic rages out of control, there are still those who downplay or even deny the seriousness of the situation. Here’s the latest bit of evidence that we really, truly, are in a crisis: L.A. County is asking doctors not to send patients to the ER “unless absolutely medically necessary.”
On top of that, the “health alert” from the Department of Public Health is advising providers to make sure their seriously ill and frail patients have filled out advance care directives. That request comes as Department of Health Services Director Dr. Christina Ghaly says hospitals should be prepared to enter a new phase, in which those less likely to survive won’t get the same level of care as they normally would because there won’t be enough staff to save everyone.
