mark galley, describing a hospital system on the brink. statewide, more than 20,000 people are being treated at hospitals for covid-19. more than 4,000 of them in the icu. >> hospitals that are running out of staff, having to use rooms that they don't traditionally do, longer than normal. much longer than normal wait times. >> dr. galley said the bulk of these issues are in southern california, where some hospitals have implemented parts of what is called crisis care, when resources are stretched then. this can lead to tough decisions like rationing care, though galley said no one is there yet. as expected, the state extend stay-at-home orders for the southern california and san joaquin valley regions, where available icu capacity remains at zero percent. >> we essentially are projecting that the icu capacity is not improvele in southern california and san joaquin valley, and that demand will continue to exceed capacity. >> reporter: the bay area available icu capacity is at 10.4%. greater sacramento at 19.1, and northern california at 27.

time under the pressure of events, and it is a remarkable performance that they give there in the galley of the mayflower. it's a very compact document. and so perhaps it will be worth looking at a few lines of it and trying to parse them out. it begins, in the name of god, amen. we whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign lord king james, by the grace of god of great britain, france, and ireland, king defender of the faith, et cetera. the word et cetera is in there. they are invoking god's name. they could have said what would have been perhaps a more familiar formulation in the name of the father, son, and holy spirit, amen, but they don't do that because this is a mixed group of persons whose signatures they are very keen to get on this document, on this social contract. it's sometimes referred to, the mayflower compact, as a constitution, but it is -- it isn't a constitution. it is at best a proto-constitution that creates a political community consciously of equals, of individuals, perhaps of families, who are willing to abide by -- may make a promise
