For whatever it's worth, and probably that's not much, our county publishes its COVID-19 death rate with a column for co-morbidities, i.e., people who died from something in addition to COVID-19. I doubt we're the only ones.

We have that too, but it just started. I doubt we will see the true real data for quite some time. 

Yeah, but that doofus could be wrong. But in this case, he's not. Checking on a map of the area confirms it for me, as the roadway takes a turn to the left before the Robertson exit there.

I just talked to my stepson who lives in L.A.  Based on the look of it, he said westbound.  Then he called back and said, on further review, eastbound.
He said that based on the cars being mostly older models, those are people in "essential jobs."  Inbound, heading east.
He said that the traffic is probably stacked up because of an accident.
He just sent me a couple of pics.  One is of LAX, where he and his GF drove yesterday.  Looks abandoned.  The other is of the snow-covered mountains of Riverside County, visible from Long Beach.

The American civil war had 620,000 casualties

Approximately 2/3 of these casualties was the result of disease

so it stands to reason  that an American war fought 50 years

later would have a huge number of disease related casualties

Deaths, 320.  Casualties include wounded, MIA, POW, and (I think) those sick if the illness was acquired in the combat zone.

To be fair, there are certain stretches on the 5 and 10 freeways that ALWAYS look like that. Literally unless it's 3:00 AM, it's a traffic jam.

I just checked in with my wife, and she said that traffic has still been completely dead all week down here in Orange County.

Folks in Orange County are just hanging in their swimming pools all day long, counting those dollars coming in from their Wall Street bankers who are busy swindling small businesses out of their stimulus checks.

Why on earth would Orange County folk mingle with the unwashed masses?

That's a great question!  And probably far more worthy of delving into for investigation, than questioning the person who took the picture and posted it and lives in LA, while, you know, you DON'T actually live there!

But definite kudos on finally asking a relevant question!

As I've posted upthread, my stepson who DOES actually live there confirmed that the heavy traffic is eastbound.  He even gave a reasonable guesstimate about why the heavy traffic was heading eastbound.
As far as questioning on-the-scene reporters, I do that all the time, as I've often seen them be wrong.  And I'm not sure that the guy who took the picture is the same guy who put the headline on the tweet.
Remember the TV reporter sitting in a kayak covering the flooding in some hurricane, and a couple of guys walk past him in the background and the water is about 4" deep?
Lots of reasons not to trust that bit of "news."
I trust my stepson though.
