Sick people get beau sick people get intubated so they have a lot of virus to start. Even some of the most highly trained doctors. Yes i have done it, but it is not something i would feel comfortable doing right now off the bat, its been 15 years. Critical care workers who are trained to intubate have been working gruelling shifts for months now. If they get sick or need time off, general physicians or Family Doctors could get called in. Go right in there between the vocal cords. The countys Hospital System is rapidly training hundreds of healthcare workers theres also this group thats being asked to move to the front line, and that group is feeling very illequipped. Trainees tell us practicing with real ventilators on life like dummies is preparing them for a real deal. Now that i have intubated a dummy probably 100 times in the past month, i feel more comfortable.

This after a federal judge ruled their health is at risk from pollution and coronavirus. Christina coleman is live in los angeles with that story. Christina . Jon, the judge ordered officials to provide humane housing to an estimated 6,000 to 7,000 people in Los Angeles City and county.

The judges preliminary injunction comes out of a lawsuit filed by a group called the l. A. Alliance for human rights. They say officials arent addressing homelessness here in a comprehensive manner.

California has more Homeless People than any other state in the nation, and now, as the Coronavirus Crisis add the Coronavirus Crisis to the mix, it presents an even tougher situation.

County just over 2200 people have received shelter through project room key. But critics say this program is not helping people fast enough. The rooms are for those considered most vulnerable to the virus. We committed to that being a priority. It has been for me for months, if not years because i think that those folks are the ones that we see. Those are the ones that we can help. And those are the ones where clearly they are having an even greater disproportionate bad impact on their health. And as of now, theres been 261 confirmed cases of coronavirus in l. A. Countys homeless population. Jon . Jon christina coleman, christina, thank you. House democrats pass a 3 trillion dollars Coronavirus Relief bill, but Top Republicans are not on board, blasting the measure as a quote liberal wish list. Garrett tenney has more on that. This bill now heads to the senate where Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell has suggested its dead on arrival, describing it as a parade of absurdities. House democrat leaders put together the heroes act without any inputz from republicans inputs from republicans. It includes extension of increased Unemployment Benefits through january and more than 900 billion dollars for state and local governments. But it also includes several controversial items, such as, a 25 billion dollars bailout for the u. S. Postal service, 50 Million Dollars for investigating links between pollution exposure and covid19, and allowing undocumented immigrants who pay taxes to qualify for a second round of direct payments. Is this a joke . Because it certainly isnt based on reality. 3 trillion dollars of virtue signalling to your base is no way to govern in midst of a crisis and you know it. It is not just republicans who are criticizing the bill as a partisan wish list. Most of the 14 democrats who voted against it are moderates facing tough reelection battles this fall, and several described it as a political statement, filled with unrelated waste of taxpayer dollars. Despite those criticisms, the legislation narrowly passed by a vote of 208 to 199. As it heads to the senate, prominent democrats are blasting g. O. P. Opposition to their bill. The Republican Party says we dont have any money to help you are you kidding me . Where do you guys live . Food lines around the block at our food banks in the United States of america, one in five kids are going hungry your party cant even get food to them this isnt a wish list. If it is a wish list, it is for the working class people.
