Los Angeles will get out of a hospital bed by Christmas, if the coronavirus continues to spread at its current, unprecedented rate, Mayor Eric Garcetti warned at a news conference Wednesday, urging residents to “hanger down” and “cancel everything” to spread the virus.
“The public health situation in our city is as dire as it was in March in the early days of this epidemic.”
The number of daily coronavirus infections in Los Angeles has tripled since early November. More than three times as many are at the new level, according to Gracesetti, who was admitted to the hospital.
On Tuesday, the county reported its most recent coronavirus case and hospitalization since the epidemic began. The average daily cases increased by 225% in early November, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Garcetti urged residents to “stay at home as much as possible,” choosing between us being healthy, between health and illness, care and indifference, life and death. “
“It’s time to dump her. It’s time to dump her and move on. If it’s not necessary, don’t do it, “said Garsetti. “Don’t meet people outside your home, don’t host that gathering, don’t come to a meeting.”
To date, Los Angeles County has confirmed a total of 414,185 coronavirus cases and 7,740 deaths.
