More than 1,000 people have died of Covid-19 in Los Angeles County over the past week as California grapples with surging cases and overwhelmed hospitals. "L.A. County reached the terrible milestone of more than 11,000 deaths due to Covid-19," Los Angeles County DPH Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer said in a statement, as she urged all residents to stay home and follow public health orders. "As a community, we must commit to stopping the spread of Covid-19 in its tracks so that we can save as many lives as possible." The pandemic has devastated much of the state. On Tuesday, the state reported 368 new coronavirus deaths -- pushing the number of lives lost in the state to 27,000 since the start of the pandemic. Some 2.45 million have been infected.

"If we continue to see an alarming increase of COVID-19 patient admissions at hospitals statewide, some facilities may not be able to provide the critical and necessary care Californians need, whether those patients have COVID-19 or another medical condition," said Dr. Toms J. Aragn, California Department of Public Health director and state public health officer. Despite the intensity of the fight against the virus, just 27% of the vaccines distributed have made it into the arms of Californians. In Mendocino County in Northern California, a broken freezer storing the Moderna vaccine forced officials at Adventist Health Ukiah Valley Medical Center to administer all 830 doses in two hours.

Dude there's 4 million people in LA alone. This is a tragedy but stop making it sound scarier than it is. If anything we should be blaming the local government for not finding a better solution then just locking down.

There is no other solution. You cant tell idiots to wear masks apparently, because those idiots somehow think people are making this out to be scarier than it is.

Bad leadership sunk California. Kinda hard to be a leader and tell people to stay in when youre going out to parties.

There are other solutions. Like informing people what they can do to strengthen their immune system in case they do get covid to have higher chance of getting milder symptoms so they don't have to go to the hospital just to take up space and cause needless deaths
