is there a mechanism for this? srs question

you let insurance companies not cover it under the ACA and they'll all drop coverage because covid care is really expensive

it seems like it'd be kinda moot because the estate of anyone with covid is going to have 0 value so the hospital isn't going to recover any of the million dollars that a month long ICU stay can be. those that survive will declare bankruptcy and be disabled

survivorship bias is a hell of a thing, just because there aren’t any recorded extinction level viruses in humans doesn’t mean there can’t be one at some point. it has happened in other species.

the toba catastrophe reduced the (anatomically modern) human population to as few as 3000 individuals. even 99.99% of all humans dying wouldn't necessarily cause an extinction.

it seem bad to have the executive call together heads of industry to tell them that he doesn't like existing law and they should just ignore and that he will use state power to protect them if they do/punish them if they don't

if the drafters of the constitution didn't want to allow the president to do this they wouldn't have put in the pardon power

what do they do with the turkeys that were pardoned

do they just live out their genetic mishap lives with weird health issues

we already do that with pugs and its atrocious

i was going to make the joke that they go to a farm "upstate" (mount vernon) but apparently they go to a lot of different places

quote:

For many years the turkeys were sent to Frying Pan Farm Park in Fairfax County, Virginia. From 2005 to 2009, the pardoned turkeys were sent to either the Disneyland Resort in California or the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, where they served as the honorary grand marshals of Disney's Thanksgiving Day Parade. In 2010, 2011 and 2012,[15] the turkeys were sent to live at Mount Vernon, the estate and home of George Washington; Mount Vernon stopped displaying and accepting the turkeys due to the fact that they violated the estate's policy of maintaining its own historical accuracy (Washington never farmed turkeys). The 2013, 2014 and 2015 turkeys were sent to Morven Park in Leesburg, Virginia, the estate of former Virginia governor (and prolific turkey farmer) Westmoreland Davis.[16] Virginia Tech has housed the turkeys from 2016 to 2019;[17] Virginia Tech was chosen because of the college's poultry science program, and the National Turkey Federation wanted to begin a tradition of cooperation between the turkey industry and universities.[18] After four successful years at Virginia Tech, the alma mater of the chairman of the NTF at the time, the federation chose to begin housing the turkeys at universities closer to the turkeys' home towns.[19] The 2020 turkeys were sent to be housed at Iowa State University[20] and the 2021 turkeys are bound for Purdue University.[21]
...
Broad Breasted White turkeys are bred for large size, are sedentary animals and have a predilection for overeating,[25] making them prone to health problems associated with obesity such as heart disease, respiratory failure, joint damage and reduced life spans compared to wild or heritage turkeys. For many years, the pardoned turkeys were documented to have very short lives after their pardoning, frequently dying within a year of being pardoned;[16][26] for comparison, heritage turkey breeds have lifespans on par with those of wild turkeys, at least five years.[27] The lifespans of the pardoned turkeys have steadily improved in recent years, frequently having lifespans of over two years and occasionally reaching three years of age, an improvement attributed to better choices of homes after the pardons; rather than serving solely as tourist attractions, the turkeys are now placed in the care of experts who make conscious efforts to maintain the turkeys' health for as long as possible.

one cool thing about 5g is that one of the frequency bands they're using bumps up against the lower end of the range used by airplane ILS radio altimeters, and studies have demonstrated that a plane flying directly over a tower on final approach can experience errors of up to 200 feet in its reported altitude.

it's great!

the aviation community should spend money on non garbage (and FCC compliance - the spurious emission standards haven't changed!) band pass filters

200 feet doesn’t seem that bad. aren’t you guys flying at like 30,000 feet? that’s like 99% accurate

The town is an absolute disaster

i assume this is Pennsylvania too so they can't use the classic ohio trick of funding the town entirely via speeding tickets. (yes i know other states are infamous for that too, but ohio was a whole other level, PA presumably was too until they restricted radar to the highway patrol only)

its a ton of different failures:
staffing is probably a problem, but mostly because doctors dont want to work at night.
apathy towards narcotics cases
lack of continuity of care cause of lazy charting
complete lack of process. given his intake, the EHR should have forced someone to check on him regularly
medical devices are a complete racket and their regulation is incompetent. Theres no reason he shouldnt have had a remote monitor that would have alerted them even if hes on a gurney in the hallway.

and it just goes on. hospitals are terrible places that are poorly run

negligence leading to failures in care happen all the loving time, but usually its not so blatant. its more common that they just fail to test for things because they dont believe it could be the problem and then the failure to test results in delayed care and death. in that case the doc just shrugs and says "oh well, we never could have known because we didnt test!". Left him to die in the hallway is a little harder to get away with.

I was reading about this on the nursing subreddit and there was a surprising amount of anger at the guy’s mother and his drug use. however, this part is just baffling:

quote:

Miller arrived at Yale-New Haven by ambulance at 7:13 p.m., according to the lawsuit. Yale-New Haven medical personnel placed Miller on a stretcher and positioned the stretcher in an “ambulance bay” at the emergency department.

Between 7:15 p.m. on May 10 through 1:56 a.m. on May 11, Miller received no medical attention, the suit states.

Security video later obtained by the family shows that at some point Miller got up from the stretcher to use the bathroom and later to get a snack from the vending machine. It also shows Miller communicating with his mother by cellphone.

Later in the security video, Miller appears to fall asleep and multiple Yale-New Haven emergency personnel walk by him but don’t check on him, the suit states that the video shows.

At 1:56 a.m., a nurse checks on Miller for the first time in seven hours. At this point, the suit states, he is without a pulse, his skin is a blue-gray color and his pupils are fixed and dilated.

was he never triaged?

i was stopped at a light once and some high school kid was crossing the street when this lady drove up into the lane next to me full speed in her SUV and blasted him across the asphalt. he must have still been young enough to have plasticky bones because he just got up, shook himself off and kept walking. us other drivers yelled at him to stop to see if he's ok and get her information. meanwhile the lady was claiming that she didn't see him or whatever. the fact there was a red light apparently wasn't a factor. she was going to leave immediately but i guess we shamed her into staying long enough to make sure that she didn't just kill someone and take a little responsibility

I saw a very near miss in this exact scenario once with a couple kids and parents…

that were holding one of these banners:


a pair of unmarked cars immediately turned on their lights and siren, the suv driver didn’t pull over for 2 full lights. (the charger in the picture is in the spot but I’ve never seen SPPD use chargers)

I just sat there baffled.
