So, the depopulation is working, right? After this last week, I am just so exhausted I have lost the ability to deal sympathetically with people who spout conspiracy theory nonsense anymore. Trying to provide adequate healthcare has become physically and emotionally draining, I don’t have hospital backup at this point. Knowing how this is playing out in other states just fills me with foreboding. And it does not have to be like this. Fuck.

A colleague of mine has a relative who needs a major cardiac surgery, but the area they live in has no hospitals that are allowing elective procedures. I advised them on some options for referrals to nearby hospitals that haven’t closed to elective procedures that are aligned with the hospital his relative goes to. Hopefully, they will be able to get a referral soon.
Just a real-world example of how the selfish anti-maskers/anti-vaxxer shits affect others.

- He is fully vaccinated?
- He never actually took the pill (the article carefully says “appeared to”)?
- He took the one minimum harmless 3mg dose and never will again?

Any 3-dollar words will do to make him look like he knows what he’s talking about. It keeps the rubes buying his own bullshit medicinals.

The sudden lapse of a crucial element of the pandemic safety net has fueled calls for a re-evaluation of the entire unemployment benefits system. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the chairman of the Finance Committee, said in an interview it’s crucial that Congress modernizes the unemployment insurance system as part of the package.
“It’s heartbreaking to know it didn’t have to be this way,” Wyden said.
One of the changes he proposes is to have jobless benefits more linked to economic conditions, so they won’t expire in times of need. “We got to take the unemployment system into the 21st century,” he said.
