Border Facilities Overwhelmed by Mexico Covid Refugees

Registered nurse Megan Hill, who is working with Covid patients in Riverside County, Calif., said her patients say they are being flown by helicopter to her hospital from border facilities overwhelmed by Mexico Covid refugees.
“According to my patients, they are coming over from Mexico because they’re not getting treated in Mexico. They are flying helicopters every hour — bam, bam, bam — constantly flying them. It’s definitely happening.”
Hill said she does not know the nationalities of the patients, nor does she ask, but “What I do know is that a lot of them are Spanish-speaking only. What I do know is what my patients said, is a lot of them are coming over the border and going to the hospital and they’re flying them from that hospital.”
Hill also said she believes California is double counting these cases, once at the border, and then again at Riverside County hospitals.
“Our county is counting these people as [new positives in] Riverside County. They are not. They have tested positive already in the county of San Diego. They’re flying them over to the county of Riverside so if they’re going to do that why is Riverside taking those counts?”
