mclumber1 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Big government doing big government things: When There Wasn't Enough Hand Sanitizer, Distilleries Stepped Up. Now They're Facing $14,060 FDA Fees.

Quote Potentially compounding the impact of the fee is that it is determined by registration as an OTC (over-the-counter) monograph drug production facility in the previous calendar year. That means that distilleries not only have to contend with this year's fee; if they fail to update their status with the FDA by tomorrow, they may be liable for an additional fee in 2022 as well.

Chairslinger Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Could be 80,000 dead over the next three weeks. Quote (CNN)As 2020 nears its end, the US reported a record death toll for the second day in a row, with more than 3,740 Covid-19 fatalities Wednesday. And the outlook is grim for January. More than 80,000 Americans could die of Covid-19 over the next three weeks, a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ensemble forecast projects -- offering a stark reminder the nation is still facing challenging times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Nurses and doctors are sometimes exposed to so much sickness and death their brains get conditioned into "that won't happen to me" either by way of them thinking they're immune, or there are enough differences between them and their patients that it doesn't register that they really aren't that different. And that's BEFORE we get to the anti-vaxxer shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Ontario's Minister of Finance has resigned after getting caught on a sunny foreign vacation (St. Barts) while the province was under lockdown: It should be noted that Doug Ford's communications person also left the province to go home for Christmas (when gatherings were banned in both Ontario and then place she went to). The Ford government is horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Yeah, in the comments someone says that because it's supposed to be intravenous the fact that it's being injecting into muscle probably means it's doing absolutely nothing. So I'd imagine they can get the actual vaccine sooner than 90 days from now, but it's still an unconscionable waste of a treatment with very limited supply.

I did enjoy a bit of a petty power trip over this one patient earlier this week. It's a woman, though. She's a frequent flier and a truly awful human being. She's never discharged for more than a few days before coming right back because she's noncompliant. She has the worst ileostomy ever. Leaks constantly and she wants to act helpless and make us take care of it. She fucking goes home and downs laxatives to make it pour out and throw her lytes out of whack. Most of us refuse and make her do it herself. Problem is, she wants to constantly eat and drink, making the output even higher. So we usually decline to give her much on night shift. I'm already pissed because she called me a bitch and falsely accused me of punching her and she's calling out for more ice water at 3am. Her nurse is on break, so I explain to her why she doesn't need the extra fluids in the middle of the night. She gets pissed. I take her a cup with about 2 tsp of ice in it, set it on the table and walk away without a word. It was kinda funny. But that's probably the meanest I've ever been. If you had the misfortune of caring for this awful human being, you'd commend me on my restraint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
