TheLeon Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Kings Island is starting to reopen this week. I'm a season pass holder, I live 20 minutes away, and they have a new giga coaster. I'm going to have to get there at least once, probably while it's still limited to season passes. My hope is that people will look at everything they're requiring (masks, reserved times, health questionnaire, temp check) and decide it's not worth the hassle. I don't care, I just need my coaster fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Abbott’s May decisions to lift restrictions intended to slow the virus. When the charts reappeared, eight of the 17 original slides had been deleted — including any reference to hospital capacity or projections of future capacity.

Because my dad was on oxy for about a week after his open heart surgery and he said that one night he completely forgot where he was and what was happening and the nurse said that’s not uncommon. Same thing happened to my grandfather after a knee replacement. He was also on oxy. My uncle and I gad to take turns sitting with him for a couple of nights because whatever world he was in was far more interesting than ours.

silentbob Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I know my mom had the nightmares for a night or 2 when she had it. So did my cousin and her husband and they were only on Extra strength Tylenol when they occurred. Chris Cuomo talked about them when he did his show in isolation, and they were so bad that it made him chip a tooth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 8 hours ago, b_m_b_m_b_m said: Yikes FYI: they didn’t stop reporting data, they created a graphic with MORE information because people were not understanding the information being presented with the original gauge graphic. For example, one of the CEOs mentioned that people were pointing to the maxing out the base capacity, but failing to note that the Med Center runs near full capacity almost year round. The same week last year the ICU beds were at 97% capacity. This is due to their dynamic scaling practices which create a relatively small number of beds in the base configuration across the region with the ability to scale up quickly if need be. Additionally they added an actual breakout of Covid vs no Covid patients in the beds, which 75% of ICU beds are currently taken up by no Covid patients.

PaladinSolo Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The company’s chairman and chief executive, Daniel O’Day, broke down the pricing for remdesivir in a letter on Monday. Patients will require six vials, at $520 apiece, over five days. Gilead relied on U.S. health care system guidelines to make its calculation and said it expected government discounts. For other countries, the treatment will cost $2,340 per patient. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the very beginning, many of us here were complaining that one of the easiest and best forms of stimulus people and small businesses could use was full blown moratorium on rent and mortgage. This silly moratorium on evictions is just kicking the can down the road, only the longer it's put off, the worst of a monster it becomes. I'm sure households and small businesses that can't afford to pay their leases or mortgages can totally afford to pay 4 or 5 months worth in one go. That's totally not going to lead to millions losing their homes or place of business in the upcoming months as soon as those eviction moratoriums are lifted.

And when the payment comes due, you can bet that the largest corporations will somehow be exempted. Or, if they are landlords, they will be bailed out for the payments they didn't receive.

I haven’t been sick in a while (knock on wood) but whenever I get sick with a high fever, I typically hallucinate.

Jason Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Look at how Cuomo went to war with Byford because Byford was getting positive attention. That entire situation is just pure Trump, where Cuomo is too fucking stupid and vain to understand that Byford getting positive attention still reflects well back on on him for being the one who made the good hire.

CitizenVectron Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Vaccine co-developed by Canada and China to enter human testing in Canada...and be deployed in China to their military: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-china-vaccine-idUSKBN2400DZ Quote BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s military has received the greenlight to use a COVID-19 vaccine candidate developed by its research unit and CanSino Biologics (6185.HK) after clinical trials proved it was safe and showed some efficacy, the company said on Monday. The Ad5-nCoV is one of China’s eight vaccine candidates approved for human trials at home and abroad for the respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus. The shot also won approval for human testing in Canada. China’s Central Military Commission approved the use of the vaccine by the military on June 25 for a period of one year, CanSino said in a filing. The vaccine candidate was developed jointly by CanSino and a research institute at the Academy of Military Science (AMS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
