Los Angeles: As Mask Mandate Looms, LA Hospital Officials Criticized COVID “Media Hype”

Pixabay
Los Angeles is set to revive its ‘mask mandate’ at the end of this month as COVID test numbers rise, based on flawed PCR tests. Two officials at one of the largest hospitals in the county threw a bucket of cold water on media and government efforts to whip the public into a state of fear over the latest COVID-19 uptick. Brad Spellberg, the chief medical officer of Los Angeles County + University of Southern California Medical Center (LAC + USC), said that the rise in Covid-positive tests is due to a lot of people with mild disease in urgent care and the emergency department who go home and do not get admitted, and only 10% of our COVID-positive admissions are admitted due to COVID. He said today’s COVID patients in intensive care are more typically associated with conditions like electrolyte abnormalities or auto-immune attack of the nerves that may or may not be COVID-driven.

Both Dr. Spellberg and epidemiologist Paul Holtom failed to address how many patients had received COVID injections and how many they received.

In a press conference dripping with a mix of exasperation and dry-witted sarcasm, two officials at one of the largest hospital systems in Southern California threw a bucket of cold water on media and government efforts to whip the public into a state of fear over the latest Covid-19 uptick.

Their remarks came on the same day that Los Angeles County health director Barbara Ferrer declared the county had moved into a “high” level of Covid transmission. Two consecutive weeks in that status would trigger the reimposition of an indoor mask mandate on the nearly 10 million people who still choose to live there.

The press conference featured Brad Spellberg, the chief medical officer of Los Angeles County + University of Southern California Medical Center (LAC + USC), along with epidemiologist Paul Holtom.

Spellberg kicked off the duo’s ridicule of Covid fearmongering with an exasperated description of the Covid situation: “It’s just the same. It’s not changed. It’s been the same. It’s like…two months of the same.” 

He backed up his characterization with charts depicting county cases and the hospital’s own Covid admission data.

“The numbers at [LAC+USC] Covid-positive tests have continued to go up, but this isn’t because we’re seeing a ton of people with symptomatic disease being admitted…we’re seeing a lot of people with mild disease in urgent care and [emergency department] who go home and do not get admitted.

Of those who are admitted, they’re 90% of the time not admitted due to Covid. Only 10% of our Covid-positive admissions are admitted due to Covid. Virtually none of them go to the ICU, and when they do go to the ICU, it is not for pneumonia. They are not intubated.”

As for the worst kind of Covid-ICU case, Spellberg said, “We haven’t seen one of those since February. It’s been months.” He said today’s Covid patients in intensive care are more typically associated with conditions like electrolyte abnormalities or auto-immune attack of the nerves that may or may not be Covid-driven.

This is an example of how the chief leaders of the ‘progressive’ movement step forward to “lead the opposition”, feigning ignorance and complicity, white making a name for themselves, hawking their books, and thus taking the lead in the opposition. If you know what you are looking at , you will notice the same trend happening all over the media just as it has happened many times before any time grass movements have arisen or public sentiment mounted against the programs which they have initiated. It happened during the “Tea Party” . It happened with the rise of the “9/11… Read more »

I’m still trying to figure out how a mask that does NOT seal like a gas mask or under water mask is going to do any good, let alone the common masks which I watched a video of a doctor layer 6 of them on his face, hold his glasses in front of and fog them up.

We should be putting these criminals in jail for fraud.
