Los Angeles officially the City of Los Angeles and often known by its initials L.A., is the largest city in the U.S. state of California. With an estimated population of nearly four million people, it is the country's second most populous city (after New York City) and the third most populous city in North America (after Mexico City and New York City). Los Angeles is known for its Mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, Hollywood entertainment industry, and its sprawling metropolis.
New numbers from the Los Angeles Department of Health Services seem to confirm one of health experts’ worst fears. Officials have long warned about an exponentially-increased number of deaths should hospitals become overwhelmed by Covid-19 cases and patients can no longer receive the same high standard of care.
