From a 20-year veteran of the California Health Care system. From Raconteur Report:
My End Of The Stick
1) Orange County declared a health emergency yesterday. I have no wild idea what that means, and I've worked health care here for 20 years, including about 2/3rds of the E.R.s in the county. Best guess, it simply means TPTB in the county have officially freaked the f**k out about the slow roll out of Kung Flu we've been covering here for over a month, and which we warned our own hospital management about, in detail, over two weeks ago was going to put a serious cramp in our ability to treat patients, indefinitely, even if we never had to treat a single case of Kung Flu in person.
Much more at the site. If this plays out to one tenth of what Aesop is saying, California will be a fustercluck of epic proportions. Especially the cities. Especially, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Glad to be living on an island and have a month or two of boring but nutritious food on hand.
