New Yorkers wait in line for hours to get COVID-19 tests during surge

Instead of lining up to see Santa or waiting to buy Christmas gifts, New Yorkers stood for hours Saturday to get COVID-19 tests as cases continued to surge. Residents fumed as they waited for the nasal swabs in order to travel or because they thought they might have the virus. At a city-run...

[Steeler Pride]

Seems like the only answer at this point is to shut the country down for the unvaccinated. Access to sporting events, stores, gas stations, restaurants, bars, shooting ranges, workplaces all tied to proof of vaccination. The unvaxxed can sit on their ***** at home and stop endangering the rest of society. I'd do it and do it now.

Of course your pathetic communist *** would support that.

No, it's actually nothing like the ************* flu.

From blood clots to infected neurons, how COVID threatens the brain

The virus that causes COVID-19 can cause strokes, inflammation, oxygen deprivation and infection in the brain. And each of these may lead to long-term neurological problems.

www.npr.org

Months after a bout with COVID-19, many people are still struggling with memory problems, mental fog and mood changes. One reason is that the disease can cause long-term harm to the brain.

"A lot of people are suffering," says Jennifer Frontera, a neurology professor at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

Frontera led a study that found that more than 13% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients had developed a new neurological disorder soon after being infected. A follow-up study found that six months later, about half of the patients in that group who survived were still experiencing cognitive problems.

The current catalog of COVID-related threats to the brain includes bleeding, blood clots, inflammation, oxygen deprivation and disruption of the protective blood-brain barrier. And there's new evidence in monkeys that the virus may also directly infect and kill certain brain cells.

Studies of brain tissue suggest that COVID-related changes tend to be subtle, rather than dramatic, says Geidy Serrano, director of the laboratory of neuropathology at Banner Sun Health Research Institute. Even so, she says, "Anything that affects the brain, any minor insult, could be significant in cognition."

Why do we still have a taxpayer funded, gov't propaganda outlet like NPR? It's not like we don't have a shortage of alternatives.
Sorry to be off topic.

 

[Troglodyte]

People have every right to be skeptical of medicine. Undying faith in medicine can also be dangerous. Ask NCSteelerfan. Ask my sister, who's had 17 surgeries, 11 of which were to reverse a procedure that was recommended in the 90s that they now look back on and ban. Ask the families of the 250,000 people who die each year due to medical mistakes. Ask the people/families associated with the lawsuits that have been brought against pharma companies that released drugs that killed/injured millions.

Yes, modern medicine is better than it's ever been. That's evolution. Tomorrow it will be better than today. But to have simple blind faith in it?

"Seek a second opinion" (or a third) exists for a reason. Because medicine is fallible.

Talk about missing a point and getting off topic. You argued the reason that people get vaccinated is their undying faith in government. I argued it’s our faith in modern medicine, and now you’re arguing we should question modern medicine.

Majority of Physicians Decline COVID Shots, according to Survey by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS)

Of the 700 physicians responding to an internet survey by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), nearly 60 percent said they were not "fully vaccinated" against COVID.

In addition, prior to the surveys by both of these organizations, the CDC itself put out a study that was a bit older:

F China.

Totally responsible and offering no solutions or additional info of what's next to be expected to the rest of the world....

Crafty ******* I will say...in a devious way.

 

[Steeltime]

China could not have known how just how diseased, how absolutely corrupt and evil, the leftists in this nation are.

Wait, maybe the could since they fund these groups.

China's Communist Party is intensifying covert influence operations in the U.S. that include funding Washington think tanks and coercing Chinese Americans

REPORT: BLM Co-Founder Partnering Up With Pro-Communist Chinese Group | The Daily Wire

www.dailywire.com

One of the co-founders of the official Black Lives Matter group, Alicia Garza, is reportedly partnering up with a Chinese organization that has deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party — and that group now appears to be funding one of Garza’s ventures, according to an investigation by the Daily Signal.

Garza is one of several co-founders of the official “Black Lives Matter” group, and in 2018, she launched a project called “Black Futures Lab,” which aims, its website says, to help activists in the black community maintain interest in civic participation and civic activism year-round. The group “gathers information about the ways that policy affects Black communities and one that uses that information creatively to educate and challenge policymakers.” It also lobbies on behalf of BLM’s interests at the local level.

The Daily Signal’s Mike Gonzalez, though, discovered that donations to the Black Futures Lab don’t seem to go directly to the foundation itself but rather to a group called the “Chinese Progressive Association” — a group that has deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

“According to an authoritative 2009 Stanford University paper tracing its early days to the present, and which can be found on Marxist.org, ‘The CPA began as a Leftist, pro-People’s Republic of China organization, promoting awareness of mainland China’s revolutionary thought and workers’ rights, and dedicated to self-determination, community control, and “serving the people,”‘” Gonzales reports.

“To this day, the CPA continues to be a partner of the PRC in the United States. Three years ago, the Boston chapter teamed up with China’s Consulate General in New York to offer Chinese nationals the opportunity to renew their passports, getting praise from China’s official mouthpiece, China Daily,” he continues. It also helped raise the Chinese flag over Boston City Hall to honor the anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party’s takeover of China.

“It is clear, then, that CPA works with China’s communist government, pushes its agenda here in the United States, and is regularly praised by China’s state-owned mouthpieces,” Gonzalez says. “It is clear, too, from, this perspective, why the CPA would sponsor a new enterprise by Garza: They espouse the same desire for world communism.”

So China makes a virus in a lab. Anybody with a brain bigger than a raisin realizes that by now. China allows the virus out, and then takes steps to make sure it spreads to the rest of the world - which is 100% consistent with an accidental release. Morons and dolts wonder why China would release a virus that threatened to destroy China. Those with functioning intellect realize that the Chinese made the virus in a lab, made it highly contagious and then ****** up, allowing it out accidentally.

Once the virus was out, the Chinese were apoplectic with fear that only China would be ravaged by the disease they invented. They thereby shut down internal travel from Wuhan to the rest of China, locked down its military college in Wuhan, hosted a huge event in Wuhan with more than a million visitors from around the world, and had them bring the disease to the rest of the world. It is akin to the murderous commies accidentally starting a fire, trying to put out the fire on their property while pushing the flames onto the property of their mortal enemies.

China's homicidal duplicity does not end there. They use their paid lackeys and imbecile left-wing bootlickers in the United States, including numerous bleating sheep in the media, to attack Americans regarding the virus. Traitors repeated lie after lie about what the President was doing, how ineffective the President was in dealing with the lab-made murderous disease from China, pressured the worthless WHO to avoid any link between the Chinese-made virus and China, gave the disease some innocuous name to avoid linking it to China, and watched as Americans turn on each other regarding the disease CHINA created.

The devastation of the American economy and American people continues today. Meanwhile, vile, corrupt, diseased scum in this nation repeat China's talking points and continue to target Americans for criticism, while studiously avoiding a syllable of criticism of China. Not a word.

Thank you, President Biden, for going *out of your way* to state the obvious. Since you know as well as everyone else, it is the stubborn, selfish few that need to get this message pounded through their thick skulls. It's likely not going to work - since we're dealing with the MAGA death cult - but as President of *all Americans,* you did your best to save lives. Kudos to you.

"For the unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death for the unvaccinated -- for themselves, their families and the hospitals they'll soon overwhelm. But there's good news: If you're vaccinated and you have your booster shot, you're protected from severe illness and death," the President said.

Good news so far. Contagious, not deadly.

Latest COVID spike isn't swamping NYC hospitals like before; another 22,000 test positive in state​

Soaring COVID-19 case numbers, long testing lines and event cancellations might feel a bit like déjà vu, but so far New York City hospitals aren’t seeing a repeat of the surges that swamped emergency rooms early in the pandemic.

The state reported Saturday that nearly 22,000 people had tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday - eclipsing the previous day's mark for the highest single-day total for new cases since testing became widely available. More than half of the positive results were in the city.



The Rockettes on Friday canceled remaining performances of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, citing “increasing challenges from the pandemic,” lines at some testing sites in the city stretched around the block and at-home tests remained hard to come by, or pricier than usual.

But new hospitalizations and deaths - so far - are averaging well below their spring 2020 peak and even where they were this time last year, during a winter wave that came as vaccinations were just beginning, city data shows.

Mount Sinai Health System’s emergency rooms are seeing about 20% more patients - with all conditions - in recent days, according to Dr. Eric Legome, who oversees two of the network’s seven ERs. But at least so far, “we’re seeing a lot more treat-and-release” coronavirus patients than in earlier waves, he said.

Many are looking for tests, help with mild or moderate symptoms, or monoclonal antibody treatment, but very few require oxygen or a hospital stay, said Legome. He runs the ERs at Mount Sinai West and Mount Sinai Morningside.

Hospital admissions and deaths tend to rise and fall weeks after cases do. But Dr. Fritz François, the chief of hospital operations for NYU Langone Health, says so far, “we’re actually seeing something different” than in previous surges.

For one thing, COVID-19 patients are going home a bit quicker, he said.

NYU Langone has seen a small uptick in patients with COVID-19, now totaling about 80 in its several hospitals in New York City and nearby Long Island. That’s about 80% less than the tally at the top of last winter’s wave, François said.

NYU Langone keeps refreshing its plans to handle a surge if it comes, but such preparedness is just “the new normal,” he said.

At the sprawling Northwell Health system, too, “we’ll be prepared to do it again if it happens,” but vaccinations and nearly two years of experience make for a different picture now, said Dr. John D’Angelo, the chief of integrated operations.

“I’m confident we’ll get through this, but there are some challenges this time around that I think we’re going to have to think through a bit carefully,” he said.

Among them: The possibility of more staffers being out sick or in quarantine as omicron spreads at a time when many hospitals around the country have been short on staff, for various reasons. Northwell dismissed about 1,400 people - about 2% of its staff - early this fall for refusing to get vaccinated. Still, D’Angelo said it has enough staff to handle its projected needs.

Northwell, the state’s largest private healthcare system with nearly two dozen hospitals in and around New York City, had about 400 COVID-19-positive patients as of Friday - up from around 300 a few weeks ago, but a fraction of the 1,350 at one point last January, to say nothing of the 3,500 in early spring 2020.

About a quarter are vaccinated, up from about 10-15% a month ago, mostly people with underlying health problems, D’Angelo said.
The NewYork-Presbyterian hospital system said it has seen “a slow but steady” increase in COVID-19 admissions, but all its hospitals are operating normally.

And here it comes. What a sad, sad day for the United States. Like Australia, New York is now proposing legislatively prison camps for unvaccinated people.

New York Legislation Provides for Indefinite Detention of Unvaccinated at Governor's Whim.

In the next legislative session beginning January 5th, 2022, the New York Senate and Assembly could vote on a bill that would grant permissions to remove and detain cases, contacts, carriers, or anyone suspected of presenting a “significant threat to public health” and remove them from public life on an indefinite basis.

Bill A416 presents a serious risk to the basic liberties of all Americans in the state of New York, including their right to choose whether or not to receive medical treatment and vaccinations related to thus far undetermined contagious diseases.

The bill gives the Governor of New York, his or her delegates – including but not limited to the commissioner and heads of local health departments – the right to remove and detain any individuals or groups of people through issuing a single order. The orders only have to include the individual’s name(s) or “reasonably specific descriptions of the individuals or groups.”

The department can decide to hold a person or group of people in a medical facility or any other they deem appropriate. The language is purposefully vague.

Though the bill attempts to state that no one shall be held for more than 60 days, the language allows for court orders to waive this maximum detention time. After 60 days, the court is allowed an additional 90 days to consider the detention of an individual, a cycle that can last indefinitely per the opinion of the department.

It goes on to state that the Bill will “require an individual who has been exposed to or infected by a contagious disease to complete an appropriate, prescribed course of treatment, preventive medication or vaccination,” essentially giving the government the right to detain anyone they want and forcibly vaccinate them.

https://thenationalpulse.com/news/ecohealth-alliance-joins-ny-pri/
As the language of the bill refers to individuals or groups who “potentially” pose a threat, the bill is a preemptive strike against anyone the the department believes has the capacity to “pose a threat in the future, such as those refusing to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.

There is no explicit reference to what types of contagious diseases qualify a person to be removed from public life, detained in a facility, and forced into medical treatment and vaccination. Anyone can technically be held in isolation until they are deemed non-contagious, which would also raise questions over whether those carrying HIV/AIDS could be released back into society.

The bill has received an overwhelmingly negative response on the NY Senate website. Commenters have stated that, “this is disturbing and sets up a terrible precedent for future law. The governor can basically detain whoever [he/she] likes on the basis of scanty evidence. This is un-American. It reminiscent of the Soviet Union locking up political opponents on the basis that they were “mentally unstable”. We CANNOT allow this in our state.”

“This is a violation of fundamental human rights. The government should be working for the people, not locking them up without cause.”

Others have noted the similarities between this bill and the Australian response to COVID-19. Australia has built a number of COVID “quarantine facilities” that can hold 1000s of people at any given time.

The language of Bill A416 can guarantee that Americans, whether they test positive for COVID or any other diseases, are held indefinitely at such facilities.

Full bill here: https://legislation.nysenate.gov/pdf/bills/2021/a416
