Los Angeles calls in National Guard to remove bodies of coronavirus victims

America’s coronavirus crisis has reached a new low, with its second-biggest city so overrun with cases that patients are dying in hospital hallways with morgues now overflowing.

The situation has grown so dire in Los Angeles – a sprawling city with a population of nearly 4 million – that the National Guard has been called in to move bodies into storage at the LA County Department of the Medical Examiner-Coroner.

According to the LA Times, which has published a detailed investigation into the disaster facing the city’s health system, hospitals are now so overwhelmed medics are being forced to choose which patients will receive vital care, with Los Angeles County reaching 10,000 coronavirus deaths this week and many healthcare workers also contracting the illness.

The LA Public Health agency is so concerned about the worsening disaster it has launched a Twitter campaign warning that “every 10 minutes someone dies of COVID-19 in LA County”, urging people to do their bit to help stop the spread as the city emerges as the new epicentre of the virus in the US.

This week, California’s health and human services secretary Mark Ghaly said in a press conference the LA crisis was “stretching many of our hospitals”.

“But we know that that stretch has a limit before it breaks, before we push them into a situation where they’re making the kind of decisions about resources and staff that I just walked through,” Mr Ghaly said.

St Francis Medical Center in Lynwood is one of many hospitals buckling under the pressure, with hallways of the emergency room “lined with sick patients”.

Critical care nurse Scott Byington painted a grim picture of the current conditions, telling the LA Times patients were constantly crashing during a typical shift.

Mexico is flooding our border cities with their sick.

Mexico is flooding our border cities with their sick.

Didn't Trump build a wall to keep them out? If they are so sick that they need hospitalisation or the morgue, how are they climbing that wall? Or are car-loads of them (dead and very ill) arriving?

The wall isn't complete. Democrats have been fighting it's construction from day one. There are still border entry points and many Mexicans legally drive or walk across the border daily for work. Many more sneak across the border in the trunks of cars and in the back of cargo trucks. There are all kinds of goods manufactured in Mexico and driven across the border. California is very friendly to illegal aliens and even give them free healthcare at the expense of working Californians. It's pretty sickening.

El Paso has a million people. Juarez Mexico has 2.5 million people and it is a 3rd world crap hole. Becoming mayor and cracking down on gang crime is a death sentence in Juarez. About 20 years ago, they were having 2500 murders per year just in Juarez. They were routinely finding mass graves of decapitated bodies. (I guess they weren't cooperative enough in the sex trade industry or were against the gangs.) El Paso was having about 15-20 murders per year.

If Potato Head Joe manages to get into office, the "migrant" caravans will start back up and the Democrats will welcome them and encourage the destruction of the border in order to further taint the voter pool.

I'll NEVER for the life of me understand why Democrats encourage this with their sanctuary cities, drivers licences, free healthcare etc. for illegals.

I know they do it for votes but it's absolutely insane. Why would they want their own country turned into a third world?

Sorry to hear that

Don't you have some sort of border control?

[Texan]

Trump is trying, but Democrats and states like California are doing everything possible to undermine him. That's why I don't think we will stay as the United States for more than another generation. Maybe less. If our election process isn't cleaned up now, it never will be because Democrats like having the ability to control the outcome by any means necessary.

Why would they do it? Because they expect to be the surviving elite with a large underclass. Our version of Titled Nobility lording it over the dirty masses. The Middleclass is in the way and needs to be broken so they join the rest of the peasants.
