People wonder why contact tracing works in Germany and Japan but not here when our health care system seems to have trouble even keeping track of the actual person who tested positive.
Every day I get up I think about how this country and the CDC handled ONE, SINGLE, case of ebola virus on our shores.
When the dust settled, the patient was dead, the CDC came under fire for telling Dallas nurse Amber Vinson (who had been exposed to Ebola and had a 99.5-degree fever) that she was safe to fly on a plane with 134 passengers aboard because her temperature had not yet reached 100.4 degrees.
Many Americans were shocked to learn that when Ebola-infected doctor Craig Spencer returned to New York City from Guinea, he took a three-mile run, visited a coffee stand, ate at a meatball restaurant, traveled on three New York subway lines, met friends at a Brooklyn bowling alley and used an Uber sedan to return home, he was not violating the U.S. government’s Ebola protocols.
So bad has the CDC’s handling of Ebola been that the governors of New York and New Jersey had to step in and impose their own mandatory 21-day quarantine on health-care workers returning to their states from West Africa after treating Ebola patients.
It was always, highly unlikely, that the CDC was destined for better decision making during a real pandemic.

New Jersey got sued over it and settled instead of having to write a check. They quarantined a nurse who showed a fever on an IR thermometer but was perfectly normal on an oral one. They even continued to hold her after she tested negative for Ebola.
They screwed the pooch too, just in the other direction.
ACLU represented her

Ceremonial pitches are usually bad, but that one was ridiculously bad.

In a stunning admission of how dire the COVID-19 situation is in South Texas, the health authority for one border county on Tuesday announced the formation of an ethics committee that will screen all patients for survival potential and will send home those with low probabilities.

“There is nowhere to put these patients. The whole state of Texas and neighboring states have no ICU beds to spare for us,” Vazquez said Tuesday afternoon during a video conference call with media. “We are going to have these committees reviewing each case,” Vazquez said.
“End-of-life decisions and hospice decisions and comfort-care situation for all those patients who most certainly do not have any hope of improving we believe they will be better taken care in the love of their own family and home rather than thousands of miles away dying alone.”
Talk about putting your life in someone's hands. Not sure ethics committee is the best title

This isn't something that's exactly new to COVID. Small rural hospitals with limited capabilities frequently have problems finding a larger facility willing to accept a patient that's going to cost a lot of resources to treat and probably die anyhow. I'm sure it's even worse with a lot of COVID patients.
There's one hospital in the Montgomery area that's been out loud and proud about how they're treating COVID patients - but they don't tell how they refuse to accept patients being transported by EMS unless the patient has a DNR order. Yeah, we'll give you a bed but don't expect us to try terribly hard to save you.

Goodness this thread is like if all the 24 hour news channels and facebook had a baby, but instead of a baby it actually was a radioactive ball of cancer. Still better than the first thread I guess . As you were citizens.

Who gave me the heads up that rush was going to be all virtual this year? I want to thank you for being open and honest, unlike Alabama Panhellenic who totally pulled the plug on rush today and made the whole damn thing virtual! I feel lied to by them. I've got a daughter now who is in total meltdown. That was the last thing she had to hang her hat on and now it's gone. WTF? Alabama is making the kids have a negative Covid test within 14 days of move in and rush is the only thing they are doing. You don't think they could wear a mask and social distance and still have a little bit of face to face rush? They will have to be around these girls in their houses at some point or is the whole Greek system going to be virtual? And if that's the case, what's the difference between Greek and Snapchat or Instagram and Zoom? Besides about $9,000 a year? Somebody needs to rethink this. You bet I'm pissed at APH right now!
