965: Triage in LA. @JCBliss, #PacificWatch
Image:1920. Team-work against the "Flu." Beverly, Mass. Influenza broke out in February of this year, with dreadful weather conditions prevailing, but preparations to fight an epidemic of this sort had been made in advance by the cooperation of the Board of Health, the Public Health Dispensary, the Health Center, and the Red Cross. When the visitiation came, all was in readiness to combat it. Volunteers were notified to register at the Public Health Dispensary; food was to be at the Health Center, while supplies of linen, blankets, and clothing were to be given out and transportation arranged for at the Red Cross office. The picture above shows a party of helpers starting from Red Cross headquarters with blankets and other supplies for the sick Jeff Bliss: @JCBliss, #PacificWatch; in re: Triage in Los Angeles hospitals: ORs, ERS, tent areas, doctors’s offices, are all stretched to breaking. Ergo, they’ve started treating only the people they think they can save. Notice out to police ambulances, fire departments. Every day with a new record of deaths is hampering Garcetti’s future career. LA losing its entire hospitality industry – may survive for weeks. Half the restaurants are gone—and losing all the vendors who supply them. A nail in the coffin. The atmosphere is so dark that there are a million signatures on a recall petition of Governor Newsom. San Diego, San Francisco, Chesa Boudin: Were it not for the rich, none of these downtrodden would be in this predicament. Btw, they’re drug dealers, not users. Tommy LaSorda.
