On Monday, nearly 8,000 people were hospitalized in Los Angeles County, in which less than 50 intensive care units were available in an area with a population of 10 million people, said Dr. Christina Ghaly, county director of health services.
There is a decline in optimism, with new hospitals across the country down from around 3,500 each day earlier in the month to around 2,500. Some predictions have predicted that hospitals will collapse by the end of the month.
While the county has seen a decline in new cases, Ferrer said, this is likely due to reduced testing after the New Year’s holidays.
She expected another surge in cases from people who gathered unsafely over the holidays.
Ferrer said COVID-19 still kills someone in the county every seven minutes, on average. Deaths increased from 12 deaths per day in early November to more than 200 deaths per day last week.
‘Now is not the time to meet friends at home to see the game. It’s not the time for a walk without a mask. It’s a mistake but all it takes and soon five, 10 or 20 more people will be infected – many of whom could be friends, family members, or co-workers. your jobs, ‘Ferrer said in a statement.
‘This deadly virus continues to spread at alarming rates and is the most important way to stop it from avoiding interacting with others and to protect ourselves at all times. , ‘she said.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has reported 932,697 advanced cases of COVID-19 across all districts of LA County and 12,387 deaths in total.
At the same time, California as a whole is converting basketball parks, fences and even the Disneyland Resort parking lot into large vaccine sites as the coronavirus outbreak gets over hospitals.
California’s COVID-19 death toll reached 30,000 Monday, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University.
It took the most populous state in the country six months to reach 10,000 deaths but almost a month to jump from 20,000 to 30,000 deaths. California ranks third nationally for COVID-19-related deaths, behind Texas and New York, which is no. 1 with nearly 40,000.
Public health officials have estimated that about 12 percent of those who catch the virus need hospital care, usually several weeks after becoming ill.

Gov Gavin Newsom and public health officials are counting on broad vaccines to help stop a whole host of new diseases, starting with medical staff and the most vulnerable seniors, such as those in care homes.
Democrat Newsom has acknowledged that the distribution of vaccines has been too slow and pledged 1 million views this week, more than double what has been done so far.
That effort requires what Newsom calls a ‘manual approach,’ involving the administration of vaccines by pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, dentists, paramedics and emergency medical technicians, and members of the California National Guard.
Orange County, south of Los Angeles County, announced Monday that it will have its first major vaccination site at the Disneyland Resort parking lot in Anaheim. It is one of five sites set up to vaccinate thousands of people every day.
The sites are ‘absolutely vital in stopping this deadly virus,’ County Superintendent Doug Chaffee said in a statement.
The state will significantly expand its effort with large vaccine sites at parking lots for the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Petco Park in San Diego and the CalExpo fairs in Sacramento.

Cars arrived early Monday near the downtown stadium in San Diego, where officers were aiming to take in 5,000 health care workers each day.
‘It’s like a’ Disneyland trip ‘with cars moving through, said Heather Buschman, a spokeswoman for UC San Diego Health, whose medical staff managed the photos.
She said there seemed to be a high demand for the vaccine, with more than 12,500 health care workers in San Diego County initially registering for meetings.
By the end of the week, the city of Los Angeles planned to turn their massive COVID-19 test site at Dodger Stadium into a vaccine center to handle 12,000 inoculations per day.
Lawyers also continued to appeal to people to maintain social distance to reduce the spread of infection.
‘Mortality from COVID in hospital means dying alone,’ said County Audit Board Chair Hilda Solis.
‘Visitors are not allowed into hospitals for their own safety. Families share their farewells on tablets and mobile phones. ‘
‘One of the most difficult conversations our healthcare staff share about these last words is when children apologize to their parents and grandparents for taking COVID. -into their homes, to be sick, ‘said Solis. ”
And those excuses are just some of the last words lovers will ever hear. ‘
