‘Ive Never Seen Anything Like This – Riverside County Hospitals Running Out Of Beds, Staff As Coronavirus Surges – NBC Southern California

Hospital officials Tuesday pleaded with the public to follow precautions against the coronavirus as cases surge and staffing and space at local hospitals dwindle to dangerous levels.
