Bodies pile up, patient care falters as COVID-19 devastates L.A. County hospitals
DEC. 31, 2020, 5 AM
Los Angeles County’s healthcare system was buckling Wednesday under the unprecedented surge of COVID-19 patients, with bodies piling up at morgues and medical professionals resorting to increasingly desperate measures as they brace for conditions to worsen in the coming weeks.
With hospitals overwhelmed by patients and no outlet valve available, doctors, nurses and paramedics are being forced to make wrenching choices about who gets care and at what level.
“No one would believe this is in the United States,” said Scott Byington, a critical care nurse at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood. “Everyone is doing what they can do. It’s not that anybody is slacking. It’s just that it’s too overwhelming for everyone.”
The final tally, according to most here, will be at least 3.4 million dead in the USA, 2020.
By the time the final numbers are compiled, the new administration will have done remarkably well. The original cares act, with the covid committee, will become active.....oh boy. taats thread has that topic, but it IS very much covid related.
As IS the billions to be paid out for "covid care", What the heck that means. I got covid. with symptoms.. Not one health care person "cared" for me. But, willing to bet an audit will reveal that the rapid test, that I paid for, coincideded with a Federal Covid claim, as per the March 2020 C.A.R.E.S act.
over two thousand "comments" on this thread, and no one has answered if this type of payment system, so very vague, has evah been instituted before.

THe legal case IS in reference to this SPRING...when you couldn't have an in person funeral.
this is old news.....typical of the fear porn infotainment addicts.
You actually follow your hero on twitter b/c he IS so fun.
speaks volumes.
I don’t “follow” his tweets. I learned of the high entertainment value a month ago so I look at how ridiculous one is in the morning and then I look at one

What you do has more value, in twatter stats nerd speak, than a "follower" does. Instead, as you just admitted, you delibaretly, with intent, SEEK this man out on twitter? Doesn't it disgust you, especially half naked ( I have to be completely naked ) when you type the letters T R grunt, unnnhs, and ahhhs......U M P in the twatter search bar?
Your hero. I thought of this scene when you mentioned "bathrooms" a few weeks back.....thought it would be fitting for you guys, especially THIS character.
We're getting punished for donating $100K+ of hand sanitizer in 2020.
We have trade groups trying to work out a reasonable compromise. The problem is that many of my fellow distillers sold the sanitizer at a pretty hefty markup, and imho, those distilleries should be charged a fee just like any other producer.
Where it gets unfair is for places like mine, where we donated thousands of gallons, ate all the costs to make and package it....and are now getting charged for the pleasure of stepping up in a time of national need.
... you guys have a good case. Stick to your guns, they will come to their senses. Actually I would consider it part of your "gift" as cost of doing good.
Oh, we're not cutting any checks just yet, that's for doggone sure.
I'm confident the FDA will come around....at least for those of us who donated the sanitizer. It's hard not to chuckle at the irony, though!
I have to say, the phone calls from pretty much every fire dept, police station, and hospital in Denver Metro in late March...begging for hand sanitizer back when we didn't know much about Covid scared the hell out of me. I figured if doctors and nurses were this scared, we'd be well advised to be scared as heck, too!
Boy, that was quick. I guess we earned a little goodwill with our efforts!1
Happy New Year, everyone!
“Small businesses who stepped up to fight COVID-19 should be applauded by their government, not taxed for doing so. I’m pleased to announce we have directed FDA to cease enforcement of these arbitrary, surprise user fees. Happy New Year, distilleries, and cheers to you for helping keep us safe!” an HHS spokesman said in a statement provided to The Hill.

in other news, anderson cooper and some other guy have spent the last couple hours getting hammered within 2 feet of each other. talking and screaming and slurring. maskless, of course.
can't wait for this to be over, if there is an end.

That’s just ridiculous
FYI, Cooper and Cohen are close friends who are in the same social bubble for their kids. As could be seen from the multiple pictures they showed of the two new dads playing with their young sons.
For Cooper and Cohen New Year’s Eve might be like any other day — well, almost. Both men are longtime friends who are part of a coronavirus social bubble that allows their two young children to play together, and viewers are likely to see their off-screen rapport on camera. “Anderson and I have spent more time singing ‘Wheels on the Bus’ over and over to our kids than anyone might imagine,” says Cohen.
Come on WG, you think two highly visible gay FLPs would aggressively blow off Rona rules on national TV? It's not like they are MAGAs attending a White House party after all.
Happy New Year! Great to see the 4th estate doing good and being respected.

As a family, we bought quite a few small bottle's of hand sanitizer from a local distillery. My wife liked one "flavor/scent" so much I went there in early December to see if they had more, as a stocking stuffer for her. They had stopped making them sometime in the summer, but sales guy said I was not the only person to ask about them for Xmas.
My firm also purchased a 55 gallon barrel from another distillery, full of sanitizer, for a construction site. After that ran out, site superintendent auctioned off the empty drum, stamped with the name of the distillery, at the Topping Out party.
