In his "Soothing Thoughts" segment during LA General's weekly update, Spellberg made these very important points:
- LA General is not seeing COVID pneumonia ICU admissions or intubations
- LA General no longer performs COVID tests on admission
- Other hospitals in the county continue to COVID test on admission, leading to artificially inflated COVID hospitalization rates
- COVID is not going to go away; it is now an endemic virus and "does not distinguish itself from other upper respiratory viruses"
- There is community COVID spread because COVID is a winter virus
- COVID levels at LA General are "considerably" below 2022 and with much milder disease
