Every single one of these "case surges" is entirely meaningless without a demographic breakdown. A 28% surge with 6,485 people hospitalized does not say a lot. California has 39 million people on the official ledger, with probably millions more unofficially living in the state. So exactly who are these people getting hospitalized? Are they elderly? Sick with comorbidities? I guess we don't know. Of the 6,485 there are 1,833 that need intensive care. That sure doesn't sound like a lot. Am I supposed to believe that we are a year into this crisis and hospitals in California have not been able to adjust to the influx of supposed corona-virus patients. Sounds like a medical industrial complex problem to me. It doesn't sound like an issue that should be dumped into laps of the average citizen. Why should everything shut down just because an industry that is saturated with corruption can't get their act together enough to accommodate for a relatively mild virus? Where are the investigations into the governments efforts to deal with the virus? Why wouldn't authorities have the same zeal and conviction to get to the bottom of an issue that effects everyone. . . especially considering that this virus is now old news. Seems to be an issue with corruption. Seems to be an issue with bad leadership, or perhaps they are covering up a crime.
