For example, here are some excerpts from just one other LA Times article:

> Many hospitals also say they’re too full to accept any more patients or ambulances

> when paramedics are allowed to drop off patients at a hospital, the emergency room is often so crowded that there aren’t available staff members

> Hospitals across the state are sending away ambulances, flying in nurses from out of state and not letting children visit their loved ones

> canceling surgeries and erecting tents in their parking lots so they can triage the hordes

If context matters, I'd expect an organization like the LA Times to be capable of addressing it. It's so frustrating to have to work backward just to find out if anything is remarkable. At this point, this kind of thing is seriously affecting the well-being of the audience.

So where are the hospital ships?

The one that was deployed is now being overhauled in drydock in Portland.[1]

But what's the point? I posted this article to criticize the LA Times' handling of the messaging. If you wouldn't mind taking a look at the original article from which those excerpts are drawn, I think you'll get it.
