Covid-19

This is a bill in the New York Assembly. Basically authorizes detention camps.

Bill 416 NY General Assembly

Read it, seems very vague for what it's aiming to do. My favorite has to be the very end, seems open ended to allow the forcible administration of medication regardless of consent of detainees. That or I'm not smart enough to read bill legislation and I'm looking too deep into it.

Making vague laws, what state legislatures do all the time to give them broad sweeping powers.

Awesome. In one fell swoop of the pen undo 50 years of medical law and ethics.
 
There's a lot to unpack in this article:

In LA, EMS crews told not to transport COVID-19 patients with little chance of survival :: WRAL.com

No news in not transporting unsuccessful resuscitation with OHCA; that's old news. Rationing O2, well.... hard to come up with hard protocols to dictate that.

Edited to add, just heard on a work zoom that our organization has done more vaccinations than any other organization in the country. The skeptic in me wants to know if there is any bedroom activity between my organization and Pfizer. Also, our healthcare system (3 hospitals) has almost 200 COVID inpatients, our hospital has 105, between a third and half are in ICU.

In response for China releasing the Kung Flu on the world... NY passes edicts for Covid Concentration Camps. Anyone else find this ironic? Cause I really find this ironic.

Way to go New York, you suck.
 
My daughter has the 'Rona. Slight runny nose, no cough, but she's so lethargic she has to force herself to move and her entire body hurts.

How did she catch it? Her roommate got it via a Tinder booty call and passed it along to the others.

I hate people.

Gross!

I'm sorry to hear this. Hopefully she kicks it quick and starts feeling better.

This situation sucks, getting the covid in a roommate living situation-- I would imagine door dash and ubereats could really make their money for her...if she's even eating.

If she's anywhere near bragg I can drop off pharmacy stuff or food on her door.

Seriously. I love doing stuff like that. No contact, no talking, even better.
 
Thank you all.

She's in CO. The roomie is congested w/ fever, but no lethargy. My daughter is lethargic, "my skeleton is trying to leave my skin" in pain, and a slight fever. She's on Day Two of symptoms and the roomie is on Day Three. Minus the fever, there's no overlap of signs and symptoms right now. Both are VERY active, eat well, no weight issues, etc.
 
I just found out a good friend, former medic/ED nurse here with me, had it. He was discharged from the MICU to home this week. Mid-50s, athletic, no comorbidities. Got progressively short of breath with cough, increased lethargy, could not walk from here to there without having to rest, room air SpO2 in the low 80s. He didn't have to buy a vent in the ICU but was proned with hi-flow O2 for 48 hours.

I put this up here not to elicit sympathy or whatever (that really goes to @AWP daughter and our friends and family who get it in the community; I feel that although we don't want it, it's a reasonable chance given what we do and where we work so we know the risk. I am putting it out here so we can all glean as much information as we can about this thing.
 
So I guess it's a couple more weeks of home schooling. Tomorrow we're burning shit.

Ontario extends elementary school closures until Jan. 25 amid rising COVID-19 infections
