Los Angeles County saw a continued decline in the number of people with serious cases of COVID-19 this weekend, with fewer than 700 patients hospitalized on Sunday. There were three times as many COVID-19 hospitalizations during the summer surge.
The reduction in the most serious cases came as the county reported 815 new cases overall and 10 deaths for the day. These are declines from past highs, but the lower numbers may reflect a lag in weekend reporting, the county said. There were 692 people hospitalized with COVID-19 on Sunday, compared with 1,100 in late August and more than 2,200 in mid-July.
Hospitalizations, like new cases and deaths, are considered a key indicator of how well counties are handling the spread of the coronavirus and how much demand the pandemic is putting on local healthcare systems.Since the pandemic began, officials have kept a close eye on hospitalizations, fearful that unchecked community spread of the virus would lead to more cases than hospitals could handle.
“I’m grateful that so many people are doing their part to protect their fellow neighbors, workers and family members from COVID-19, and it is clear that the actions people are taking have reduced the number of people hospitalized and dying,” Barbara Ferrer, director of the Los Angeles County Public Health department, said in a statement.The county trend comes amid broader declines in hospitalizations statewide — but little optimism that the improvements will hold.
'California State University, Long Beach announced Saturday it would place all students who live on campus in quarantine after five students tested positive for COVID-19.'
Is the decline due to people getting better, or is it due to extended health insurance expiring and hospitals no longer admitting them because there's no ability to pay?
With covid19 2,500,000 active cases, 4.5 million have recovered, hospitalizations down 50%! 200,000 over 7 months / 5,500,000 = 2.8% death rate. California has a 1.9%! Florida has a 1.9% death rate, Texas has a 2.1% death rate Georgia is 2.1%.

Just 2 days ago they were saying we could see an 89% jump in hospitalizations. Which is it?
Just in time to open up after the election as Dr Ferrer previously stated.

Well, it's summer and corona viruses are seasonal. So it will be back big time as we head into fall and winter. Not much we can do to stop it, but we can all do our best to keep our hands clean and not touch our faces. 🦠🧼🙌🏻🧤😎
Skeletor already let it out that they’re waiting for the election to open everything back up. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
now that the democrats want people to vote in person, they also want covid fear to go down lol
But make sure to wear your mask, unless standing close together at a press conference.
What is she a 'doctor' of?
Is this lady gonna eat my brains ?
But we won’t be able to open anything else up before the election according to her.
But let’s not lift restrictions until the mean Orange Man is out of office.
