California's new urging to ambulance drivers

Something everyone should be aware of, but especially if you live in California or specifically LA and Southern California. Scary stuff.

"According to a Monday report in the Los Angeles Times, ambulance crews have been advised to cut back on the use of oxygen, and are urged not to bring any patient to a hospital if they have “virtually no chance of survival.”

Also of note, the new strain has been detected in 4 states so far.

“SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease COVID-19, acquires about one new mutation in its genome every two weeks, according to the CDC.”

Stay safe everyone.

I see. This is the moment where things get very depressing.
This sort of patient triage is implemented for ‘mass casualty’ situations.
Its army triage. It means they lack resources. It makes people feel bad. It will take a psychological toll on their responders. That’s very unfortunate.

Don’t call them “ambulance drivers” to their face, Marie20. Hehehehehe, they hate that. If you talk to them, just call them ‘medics.’ It works if their paramedics or EMT’s - everybody knows what that means. You want to keep those guys on your side right now, lol.

I heard that they are becoming a little concerned about mutations.
