Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

The ICE international student thing is a disaster for US university's bottom lines, and they weren't doing all that well to begin with. It's an obvious attempt to punish international students by requiring them to pointlessly risk their health during a pandemic, with the happy bonus that it will crush already struggling schools. US universities are still relatively prestigious, but if this admin manages to depress international student enrollment that is going to change very quickly.

It's 100% intentional. Destroying universities and academia is the goal for Stephen Miller, Kushner, DeVos, Rebekah Mercer and a host of other powerful figures in the Trump administration.

it isn’t a guarantee but a large portion will be. I mean if they survive. almost 100% of patients needing dialysis are also on a vent.

no, i had a patient under 45 that needed it for like a week and then mostly recovered. but yeah...

although my nephrology friend in NJ had the manufacturer tell her that she couldnt get more dialysate if she wanted so she had to choose who got dialysis :D

yea the numbers I’ve seen show 60-70% of vent patients die, though comorbidities play a large part in that.

insufferable
I'd wager a guess that the majority are new flyers to the dialysis club. It feels incredibly ominous that my hospital is down to single digit ronis here in delaware, I think we peaked near 100 back in april/may. I haven't had to scan a roni since may and everything feels incredibly lax in regards to corona now.

Except anesthesia who is being a bunch of insufferable cunts and demanding a negative covid test within 4 days of any elective procedure. We've been canceling so many mri anesthesia outpatients because of this and people are super mad because we already had to put off their scans since february. The 4 day time frame feels ridiculously arbitrary and pointless anyway considering how poor quality testing is and false negatives/timing issues. Most of the anesthesia cases are just deep sedation with propofol and rarely any airways.

Natural cures they don't want you to know about.
The lack of testing is going to prevent the numbers from getting much higher and it's going to take weeks and months before the bodies really start stacking up.

quote:

Lines for coronavirus tests have stretched around city blocks and tests ran out altogether in at least one site on Monday, new evidence that the country is still struggling to create a sufficient testing system months into its battle with Covid-19.

At a testing site in New Orleans, a line formed at dawn. But city officials ran out of tests five minutes after the doors opened at 8 a.m., and many people had to be turned away.

In Phoenix, where temperatures have topped 100 degrees, residents have waited in cars for as long as eight hours to get tested.

And in San Antonio and other large cities with mounting caseloads of the virus, officials have reluctantly announced new limits to testing: The demand has grown too great, they say, so only people showing symptoms may now be tested — a return to restrictions that were in place in many parts of the country during earlier days of the virus.

The other state borders have been closed since March, this was the last one left open, though the NT is planning on reopening theirs for interstate travellers on the 17th July with visitors needing to apply online for approval. That will probably exclude Victoria now.
All other interstate borders are closed.

Holy poo poo!

The department here has recently walked back on their (still inadequate) agreement to space desks 6 feet apart and now insist that desks can be 3 feet apart as long as the students are facing the same direction. That was what they actually said. It's enraging.

There's a meeting on Thursday and I've signed up to give oral testimony.
