The COVID crisis in California is getting worse. Hospitals across the state report at least 45-hundred patients, many of whom won’t be home for Christmas. The count includes those who were admitted because of coronavirus and those who showed up for other reasons but tested positive. Los Angeles County has been hit the hardest during this latest surge with available hospital beds at the lowest level since the pandemic began.
In Sonoma County, 61 people are hospitalized with either COVID or the flu.
