cnn's sara sidner is live at the harbor ucla medical center in torrence, california. the emergency room earlier today. what was that like? >> reporter: i did. i took my cell phone in, trying to keep crews small to keep it safer for everyone. we were inside harbor ucla medical center. the flurry of activity we saw inside that emergency room is nonstop. it is exhausting to watch, never mind folks have been doing this there, nurses, doctors, technical staff have been doing it for months. now it is intense. this invisible enemy, covid-19, is surging. there's nowhere else you need to look but inside this emergency room. every single bed in the emergency room was taken up by covid-19 patients, every single one full, except for one. why? because it is the emergency room. when they have someone come in, they have to find space. why do they have to find space? in los angeles county they can't send patients out to other facilities, other hospitals or medical centers because guess what, their icus are full, too. everyone is in the same boat. they have to try and find other place

our sara sidner joins us from los angeles this morning at ucla's harbor medical center. itals -- i mean, it's hard to actually believe the words that in southern california they're out of icu beds. >> reporter: yeah, it really s i mean, we are talking about zero percent capacity. zero. what does that mean? it means that hospitals like here in harbor ucla medical center t means they have to find other space because, guess what, they cannot send people to hospitals in los angeles county because those hospitals are also completely filled up. so what they've done here is they allowed me to go into the er where they have put very, very sick covid-19 patients who may usually be in the icu but there is no room there, they are now down and holding in the er and being cared for there. it really is stark. it really is disturbing to see just the amount of care that each and every patient needs. we were able to look and see, you know, eight different medications through iv being given to just one patient and you see that over and over again. as we are walking around you see that ever

sara sidner has been on the front line of the crisis in california and here are some of the terrifyingrtbreaking stories she's been seeing. >> reporter: this nurse is preparing for battle against the insidio insidious invisible enemy they've been fighting for months. covid-19 is now sending so many people to the hospital in california, there are no more intensive care unit beds open here at harbor ucla medical center, so they moved coronavirus cases into the emergency room. some are so sick, they're hooked up to no less than eight ivs, pumping in vital medicines to save or soothe them. >> very exhausting. it's like a never-ending struggle. it's really tough right now. >> reporter: before his shift started, nurse resurrection learned one of his covid-19 patients had died. the patient had no family visits and no breath left to say good-bye. >> he has no family, this patient had no family that were able to come and see him. it's very sad around the holiday season for everyone involved. >> reporter: everyone here has been exposed to the trauma of loss over and over again. but the patients
