On Wednesday, March 4, passengers awoke to find a letter from the cruise line notifying them that the CDC was investigating “a small cluster” of COVID-19 cases in Northern California connected to a Grand Princess cruise to Mexico a couple of weeks earlier.

Some of the guests from that trip were still on board — back-to-backers, they were called — along with many crew members. There was no indication that anyone onboard had it. Soon came more unsettling news.

California was reporting what was believed at the time to be its first COVID-19 death.

It was “an elderly adult with underlying health conditions” from Placer County, and he had been on the Grand Princess trip to Mexico.

“Other cruise passengers may have also been exposed,” the news release said.

Which dining rooms had he visited? Who were his waiters? Were they still onboard? Was the virus onboard too?

Here's everything you need to know about @bridgerton, a new, risque Netflix series out today.

The amazing @LorraineAli explains it all latimes.com/entertainment-…
The charming and addictive series uses 19th century England for inspiration, romance, mystery and, yes, plenty of drama.

The uptight decorum and prudish manners of the era are re-imagined through a modern lens. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The series focuses on Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and dashing Duke Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page). We explain all the drama here: latimes.com/entertainment-… Image

What do hospitals in Los Angeles County look like on Christmas? Conditions are pretty dire.

The latest, from @ronlin @LukeMMoney @skarlamangla
latimes.com/california/sto…
There are now so many patients that some hospitals are running dangerously low on oxygen and other supplies.

With intensive care units at 0% available capacity, officials urge people to avoid dialing 911 for assistance unless absolutely necessary
latimes.com/california/sto…
Why is oxygen necessary? While a non-COVID patient may receive six liters of oxygen per minute, COVID-19 patients need 60 to 80 liters a minute. latimes.com/california/sto… Image
