So many people have fallen sick with influenza in California that pharmacies have run out of flu medicines, emergency rooms are packed, and the death toll is rising higher than in previous years.
Health officials said Friday that 27 people younger than 65 have died of the flu in California since October, compared with three at the same time last year. Nationwide and in California, flu activity spiked sharply in late December and continues to grow.
The emergency room at UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica typically treats about 140 patients a day, but at least one day this week had more than 200 patients — mostly because of the flu, said the ER’s medical director, Dr. Wally Ghurabi.
“The Northridge earthquake was the last time we saw over 200 patients,” Ghurabi said.

Bring in some more illegals, why don't you?
and they will if they can 8:34. The democrats have to regrow their voter base since any good decent honest person would not ever vote for a democrat. All democrats are lying garbage useless wastes of space on this earth. Not one has ever or will ever serve any useful purpose. Nasty people who follow the doctrine of satan. This is why the democrat strongholds like the inner cities are over run with crime and poverty. God has turned His back on them because they have turned their backs on Him. They are getting their well deserved punishment.
