Covid-19

Right, and based on what you said about age, comorbidity, and medical histories not factoring into those lists, you seem to be referring to determinations made for people who qualify as HCWs, first responders, essential workers, and LTCF residents and staff (mostly Phase 1a, with variations depending on jurisdictional definitions).

I'm asking what process, if any, your health institution has in place for confirming the eligibility of people in the phases of vaccine distribution where the presence of comorbidities do factor into the eligibility equation, and what specific information (volunteered or not) your institution will require to confirm their eligibility to receive a vaccine on medical grounds during those phases.

Specifically I'm referring to people eligible for medical reasons in Phases 1b and 2 of the graphic below (I'm aware the graphic doesn't represent every state's rendition of this general phasing approach):

Okay, I think I'm tracking. Currently it's specific to job and location, as you recognize.

When it comes to others inside of our healthcare system (patients) we will be able to scrub their electronic medical record using a keyword search to find high risk candidates.

That's not really the job of a Hospital to prescribe. That's the job of a Primary Care Provider/General Practicioner to have a conversation with their patients and prescribe an inoculation.

This is very helpful, and what I had suspected. Thanks.

I've been encouraging those I know (at least those not averse to getting the vaccine) to make sure their medical documentation is up to date in order to be properly recognized for their higher risk factors as the vaccine phasing continues, as they never know what those few months' difference could make in terms of getting struck out from it.

The vets among those I'm encouraging tend to be more reluctant to get anything diagnosed on their records (I'm gonna stay worldwide deployable for 1st CivDiv too, damnit!), so the keyword thing helps explain why not continuing to skate around a diagnosis is important here (and in general).

Have to say I agree. The NBC SNL studio is 100% a non-essential business. They also during several periods during this whole thing, I don't even know what to call it since NY has had multiple lockdowns had live audiences while they broadcasted/recorded. In masks, but definitely not socially distanced.

I probably wouldn't care if they weren't being dickish to the majority of the population in their sketches, but he I don't catch them live and only in clips. But generally it's not funny for most people. BUT. I wouldn't have this opinion if say the studio was in Florida where it is OPEN. No, it's in New York where most of the place is closed and everyone is doing remote work.

That's a state-dependent definition, and you'll have to check New York's on your own to see if they're considered an essential business or not. Same goes for the Mets, Yankees, or any other sports teams playing in New York.

As I understand it, earlier in the year a bunch of film unions got together with health experts and epidemiologists and drafted a set of much stricter workplace guidelines (required testing of all crew members, closed sets, specific interaction protocols, etc.) recommended for opening up the film industry, then sent them to different state governments (including NY and LA) before getting approval to resume work under those more stringent standards.

This is the reason for Cruise's well-justified meltdown on the M:I 7 set.

They wouldn't still be in business for you to complain about if this were at all accurate - much less during a pandemic.

There is nothing safe about SNL if there is nothing safe about working in investment banking environment. I know many folks in New York that haven't been in their office since March. Don't make a sports commentator social distance if you don't make SNL people social distance.

Two missing pieces of context that I wrote that plays into why it's wrong. Location of Studio + Audience in the crowd for many episodes while most of New York City hasn't been allowed to go back to work in their offices.

Contrast this to Mr Olympia in Florida this weekend. Florida is open, the event had crowds.

So with the qualifiers I had in what I wrote, my opinion would be different if SNL was being filmed in Florida and not New York.

I think your qualifiers are naff. As Locksteady said, these guys are under a much more strict protocol. I think you're being critical for the sake of it for whatever reason that might be.
 
I significantly doubt their protocols come anywhere near what the NFL or NBA has instituted.

But hey, lockdowns are bullshit and we're continuing to destroy our economy and our lives.

Can you tell us what protocol are being used for their studio audiences, or are you - as @SpitfireV suggested - doubting without knowing?

Do you even know what they are as compared to those of the tv/film industry (understand that a myriad of films and tv shows (Supernatural, for example) that have provided countless hours of psychological relief for the home-ridden masses - and many on this board - resumed filming due to these permissions)?
If no, do you think your doubt might be lodged in a bias against SNL vs other forms of non-essential entertainment like the NFL or NBA?
