L.A. hospital death rates double: explained by who
Post# of 148185
L.A.Times today:
"The chance that a person hospitalized for COVID-19 will die in Los Angeles County has doubled in recent months.
That’s according to an analysis released Wednesday by the county’s Department of Health Services, which found that the chance someone will die from the disease while hospitalized increased from about 1 in 8 in September and October to roughly 1 in 4 since early November."
But:
"Dr. Roger Lewis, director of COVID-19 hospital demand modeling for the L.A. County Department of Health Services, said the increased chance of dying is a result of hospitals being so crowded that only the sickest patients are being admitted."
