California was leading the fight against the corona – now it’s America’s worst hotspot

California was leading the fight against the corona - now it's America's worst hotspot

Several places in the state are warning that they are running out of hospital space.

When the severity of coronavirus really hit the world in early 2020, California took the hammer forward.

The United States’ most populous and economically heaviest state was the first in the country to introduce an actual lockdown in March.

And it had effect . While the state of New York had to use refrigerated trucks to deal with the many patients who had died of coronavirus, California had relatively low infection rates for a long time.

But now it’s the hospitals in the California cities of Los Angeles and San Diego that are getting ready to set up refrigerated trucks as mobile morgues .

For the second wave of the coronavirus has hit California so hard that the state is now the number one corona hotspot in the United States . 55 of the state’s 58 counties – which account for 99 percent of the population – are now in the most serious risk group, where the infection is “widespread”.

Operations are postponed

The alarm bells are ringing in several places in the state.

Health authorities in Los Angeles warn that big city hospitals are running out of space.

In particular, there is concern that Christmas may give increased strength to that virus outbreak. It writes the Los Angeles Times according to Ritzau.

During Christmas Eve , 140 corona infections died throughout Los Angeles County, equivalent to one death every ten minutes.

– Even though it is already bad, we have hardly seen the worst yet, says Christina Ghaly, who is the county’s health director, on Monday.
