Quote:The situation here is dire. Every minute, 10 people test positive for Covid-19. Every eight minutes, someone dies. Ambulances circle for hours, unable to find ERs that can accept patients. Hospitals are running out of oxygen. ICU capacity is at zero. Patients lie in hallways and tents. Emergency room nurses have more patients than they can handle — sometimes six at a time.
The National Guard has arrived, not to help treat patients, but to manage the flood of bodies. As Los Angeles County approaches its millionth case of Covid-19, doctors describe their wards as war zones. Even the gorillas at the San Diego Zoo have gotten sick.
The gorillas, too?!?! Ugh. Poor little guys.
I wouldn't call gorillas "little", but yeah, it's pretty bad that they are getting it, too. Probably from the keepers? Another reason for the Nature Channel making video footage, instead of the animals being kept in pens and stared at by hundreds of essentially uncaring people.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
