LAT: So many people have fallen sick with influenza in California that pharmacies have run out of flu medicines, emergency rooms are packed, and the death toll is rising higher than in previous years.
Health officials said Friday that 27 people younger than 65 have died of the flu in California since October, compared with three at the same time last year. Nationwide and in California, flu activity spiked sharply in late December and continues to grow.
The emergency room at UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica typically treats about 140 patients a day, but at least one day this week had more than 200 patients — mostly because of the flu, said the ER’s medical director, Dr. Wally Ghurabi.
“The Northridge earthquake was the last time we saw over 200 patients,” Ghurabi said. read more
California is now a third world shithole, just the way the progtards wanted it to be.
Going to the hospital for sniffles? Go die already.
I just had antibiotics for the first time in my life, and I’m in my fitties.
Howz that CalMex thing working out for you?😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😜😜
Illegals from Mexico and Centeral America that give false names and never pay their bills and use ERs for drop-in clinics have ruined emergency rooms in California.
That story has no photographs of white people being treated.
Remember all those nasty things they tweeted about Texas and the hurricane?
During a bad ‘flu season in Seattle, I made a quick trip to the doc’s office. He looked down my throat and up my nose and said, “Well, it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.” I spent a week in bed and nearly made a trip to the hospital. Only time I’ve ever had the ‘flu that bad. Not going to take any chances this year with ‘flu vaccines being reported to be only 10-15% effective. 2018 and we could have another devastating influenza epidemic in this country.
For years that I did not get a flu shot I am 1 for 57 in terms of getting so-sick-I-felt-like-I-was-gonna-die sick. For years that I got a flu shot I am 4 for 4. I wouldn’t touch one with a ten foot pole.
I resent it when people suggest that I am a danger to society for not getting a flu shot.
I suspect that it will take a nightmare trip to the ER with a sick child to convince a Cali liberal/prog that maybe the direction being taken by the state and that they’ve supported is completely and damn near criminally wrong.
Gee. Thousands of people, who don’t use toilet paper or soap, sneak across the border every day and lots of folks in America are getting sick. Hmmm. Who could have seen that coming?
