‘Ridiculous demands’ and ‘impossible requests’: Life outside Cuomo's pandemic war room

While Cuomo projected calm during his daily public briefings, with thousands dying as the virus ravaged New York City, public health officials were forced to find ways to work around him.

a loss of smell might not be so bad when voiding the vowels.

To help people with long COVID, scientists need to define it

Patients with the perplexing syndrome have reported 200 different symptoms.

It's a marketed lifestyle of defiance.

Is there anti-vax tactical gear yet?

Why Omicron quickly became a variant of concern

The WHO lets Omicron skip over variant of interest, go straight to concern.

We can say exactly the same about the original outbreak in China of course.

I'm seeing a lot of COVID pneumonia this weekend. 30s-80s, lots in the 50-60 year old range. All unvaccinated except for one unlucky dude immunosuppressed after a heart transplant.

But how many were de-wormed?

 

[Toshi]

I'd track that, but being mainstream medicine and all we cut to the chase and don't mention irrelevant other details in the history of present illness.

Not really looking forward to going back to school tomorrow. Our numbers were SO high Monday and Tuesday of last week....hoping for the best and that our peak is past, but knowing many gathered and travelled has me worried.

we have an adult aged DS Covid-19 patient at the moment. unvaccinated due to trumper parental unit idiocy. kid is currently getting ALL THE ICU THINGS to no avail.

trumper parents want to sue the hospital for Y U No IvErMeCtIn!?!?!?!?

the head of our unit gave them a politely worded "good fucking luck with that, since your dumb ass didn't get her vaccinated" you know, the thing that probably would have actually prevented her getting sick, and probably not slowly dying.

fucktards.

what a f’ing mess. Feel bad for the kid. I sometimes wonder what this situation would be like without the misinformation.

Well, youngster got the first dose of the vaccine this weekend.

Wondering if we try to travel at the holidays given the numbers in the usa atm. Really not looking forward to entering shitshowland for a number of reasons…

To travel would require a 3 week rather than 2 month 2nd dose (as they’ve scheduled him for). Going to see how the next couple of weeks go.

Downs Syndrome, I assume.

yep. high functioning kid, but still legally under the parental units for decision making .

Of course, thanks.

40%

Imma gonna guess that 40% also negatively impacts society via a wide variety of metrics.

Jeesus, I have been in denial that it is that bad.

Well outside of the US, we're talking about half of the world's population. 4 billion people w/o any! If it weren't for china and india, that number would be massively lower.

I don't envy your quandary. that sucks pretty bad. any chance that some (vaccinated) members of your family would make the trip up North to be with youz guys? Montreal usually ain't a bad place to be for Christmas...

My kids were supposed to get their jab today. Then we noticed that they are turning kids away who have had their flu shot in the last 14 days. They had theirs 9 days ago so.... I rebooked to Sunday. Still gives them 2 weeks before Christmas. fingers crossed.

the one thing those graphs don't show is which vaccines the population has received, and the efficacy of those vaccines...

 

[stevew]

so while you back slap each other on getting your third shots there are people waiting on their crack at their first shot in nigeria.....

good times....

Please.

Anyone choosing to get their booster shot in the U.S. isn't depriving someone in Nigeria their 1st shot.

That's a macro issue and a stupid talking-point amongst the dum dums of the 1st (eh... maybe 2nd) world.

Yup. And a cultural issue with probably uneducated populations, too.

EXCLUSIVE South Africa delays COVID vaccine deliveries as inoculations slow

South Africa has asked Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer to delay delivery of COVID-19 vaccines because it now has too much stock, health ministry officials said, as vaccine hesitancy slows an inoculation campaign.
