Riverside County’s intensive care unit capacity fell to almost zero on Monday, the public health department said, while the larger Southern California region designated by the state under COVID-19 protocols fell to 2.7% ICU capacity.
In total, Riverside County reported 930 people hospitalized with COVID-19 on Monday, with 184 in ICU, across 21 hospitals. That was up from Friday’s record-breaking 809 hospitalized across the county, with 170 in ICU units.
Although the county put the capacity at 0%, county spokesman Jose Arballo said during a 4 p.m. news conference: “We’re not at zero — we’re close.”
Lee Rice, a spokesperson for Eisenhower Health, said Monday afternoon: “Currently we have two staffed ICU beds available.”

Change even for living is not easy and harder for far too many political leaders who know nothing of leading. I hope that fewer people will have to pay the heavy price of resisting needed change.
