Facing space and staffing shortages, hospitals in California have been placed in a situation that is becoming increasingly dire. In fact, the Golden State on Wednesday became the first US state to reach the grim milestone of 2 million COVID-19 cases since the onset of the pandemic.
Officials with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department recently announced that an 82-year-old man being treated for the novel coronavirus was fatally beaten by a fellow COVID-19 patient last week.
In a Wednesday-released advisory, the department identified the suspect as 37-year-old Jesse Martinez, and said that the attack took place on December 17 at approximately 9:45 a.m. local time.
