I do know that many of those Hospitals that have blown up (reached capacity levels) are setup to receive Covid-19 patients instead of the "other ones" that only take VIP clients...in reference to the private funded hospitals only taking VIP clients and not suffering shortages in beds / ICUs / staff. In fact, those rural / urban poor hospitals that reached capacity...some are sending patients to other cities or states but not to other wealthy funded hospitals. I know the above as fact because I have a brother that works as a Doctor in South Dakota at a public hospital and a sister that works as a head nurse in Chicago at a private hospital. Yet, I'm not talking about L.A. but talking about rural towns / urban areas across America and Canada. As for the news, we need the truth to prevent being informed by the blind (Covidiots). Seriously, if I'm watching a live Southern California news channel on the internet and a reporter is talking with a face mask only covering his/her mouth (not the nose too) and there's people walking by in the background of the reporter with about 50% of them either not wearing a face mask or wearing one around their necks... I don't need to be a rocket scientist to know what's going on in Southern California. Now imagine if those 50% and the reporter say that they wear their face mask and that its not helping ???

Good morning little people. Today's message is the same as yesterday's. If you're sick it's your fault or your neighbors fault, you only have yourselves to blame. EOM
It isn't. But this isn't unmitigated sickness, Captain Hyperbole. This is a virus that affects a certain demographic of the population - the elderly and infirm - while the rest of the population is largely unaffected, yet vastly affected by the economic restrictions imposed to protect the few (which - in the past did what they would to protect themselves). Since when should I have to lose my business to keep your grandpa safe?
California has more issues than Covid to worry about.. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireS...utpace-covid-19-deaths-san-francisco-74823530 Overdose deaths far outpace COVID-19 deaths in San Francisco A record 621 people died of drug overdoses in San Francisco so far this year, a staggering number that far outpaces the 173 deaths from COVID-19 the city has seen thus far By Associated Press 20 December 2020, 02:57 • 2 min read Bryan Chan/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images, FILE Used needles are collected and exchanged for clean ones by the Tenderloin AIDS Resource Center in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO -- A record 621 people died of drug overdoses in San Francisco so far this year, a staggering number that far outpaces the 173 deaths from COVID-19 the city has seen thus far. The crisis fueled by the powerful painkiller fentanyl could have been far worse if it wasn't for the nearly 3,000 times Narcan was used from January to the beginning of November to save someone from the brink of death, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday. The data reflects the number of times people report using Narcan to the Drug Overdose Prevention and Education Project, a city-funded program that coordinates San Francisco’s response to overdose, or return to refill their supply. Officials at the DOPE Project said that since the numbers are self-reported, they are probably a major undercount. Last year, 441 people died of drug overdoses — a 70% increase from 2018 — and 2,610 potential overdoses were prevented by Narcan, a medication commonly sprayed up the nose to reverse an opioid overdose, according to data from the city Medical Examiner's office and the DOPE Project. The crisis is deepening because fentanyl, which can be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, flooded the city's drug supply, the newspaper said. Moreover, the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted city services like housing and treatment, and left many people who rely on others to help save them if they overdose to use alone. While nearly 40% of the deaths occurred in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods near downtown, city data showed the epidemic has touched every part of the city. Many people overdosed in low-income apartment buildings and in city-funded hotel rooms for the homeless. Others died on sidewalks, in alleyways and parks around the city.
You’re right, it is only partially mitigated and the economic impact is worse for not having better mitigation. The truth is we don’t have much mitigation going on right now. What mitigation is actually hurting your business? Or is it the widespread sickness and death that is hurting the economy???
These guys just want to blame the government for the impact of a virus. We can observe as cases fell unemployment dropped and as cases surged unemployment skyrocketed. They just cannot accept the impact of sickness and death on an economy.
Right, which brings me back to my original sarcastic comment about how if we all followed the Party rules, we'd all be just fine, says your prayer. Would you like me to list some examples of people with coffee houses, or gyms or small businesses that were hurt because of "mitigation" efforts by their states?
