(51,659 posts)and all the "I will die if I can't go to a bar and the beach and Starbucks" crowd. Self absorbed asses have bought the BS by the GOP business leaders and twisted it so suit their selfish desires. They protest still! They are refusing to follow the order and the cops don't enforce it.

(812 posts)The Southern California Region covers from San Luis Obispo all the way south to San Diego, from the coast to the NV/AZ borders. It includes almost 24,000,000 residents. Available ICU beds for the entire Region has dropped from 15% to 6.2% in the last week.
Don't like thinking where things will be in another 1-2 weeks when we've run out of beds altogether...

SoCal's ICU Capacity Slips Under 5.3% As Vaccine Rollout Begins:
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Intensive care bed capacity throughout the Southern California region sunk to 5.3 percent Saturday, and has been hitting a new low each day for the past several days as coronavirus continued to surge across the state.
(...)
And as of Saturday, the San Joaquin Valley region, which also fell under the stay-at-home order last week, reported that no ICU capacity was available.
Meanwhile, in the Bay Area ICU capacity held at 17.6 and the Northern California region remained at 27.4 percent. In the Greater Sacramento region, ICU capacity was at 12.7 percent.
(...)
But vaccines were not expected to be available to the general public for quite some time, possibly spring of 2021. Until then, officials are pleading with the public to slow the surge as ICU capacity continues to plummet at an alarming rate.
