California's emergency rooms have been largely spared the war zone scenes we've seen in places such as Italy and New York. But ERs across Southern California are still adapting to treat the influx of COVID-19 patients, and they are preparing for a possible second wave of the coronavirus. Our guests are Zahir Basri, an emergency medicine doctor in Los Angeles who sits on the board of directors for the California chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians, and Rob Jones, an emergency room nurse at one of Kaiser Permanente’s hospitals in San Diego.
