The COVID is closing in.

Secretary tested positive yesterday and I was standing next to her on Thursday at the fax machine. (Why she came in when her kids were sick, and later all tested positive, is beyond me.) I'll go get a test tomorrow as it will have been 5 days since contact.

As predicted, the PassiveSon's friends he was with on NYE are one by one testing positive. At least he has taken to wearing a mask around the house when he pops upstairs to go in the kitchen.

Fax machine?

In the Quad Cities, we're having a helluva time getting tested.  CVS and Walgreens are several days out.  There's one rapid test location (on the Iowa side).  Kid was swabbed there 5 days ago and cannot get the result.  What a joke.  For a blue county (Rock Island) that fat fuck in charge sure doesn't do much for us.

There are a few pop places nearby, but it is a week to get into CVS and Walgreens.

Yep, the State of Illinois administrative agency demanded that said document be faxed to it.

The manufacturing facility should be up and running in 3 years. No idea if cost overruns will delay that tho.

COVID testing is not the only thing in short supply.  You can add ER wait times, staffing shortages and open hospital beds to the list.  Here’s a particularly tragic story:

Well if the hospitals weren’t firing their staff we might have a different outcome…

If only it was that simple.

It is all the fault of the pro -vaxxers, Big Pharma, and pro - maskers. This is all fake.  Don't you know?

I posted screenshots of a conversation I had with a doctor/professor about all their staff that voluntarily went on unpaid leave the first of December because they refused the vaccine. They were short staffed to begin with, so obviously this is having a major impact in daily operations. But quotes from a physician who directly deals with personnel and scheduling is misinformation. Wonder why? Sure there is burnout and Covid to blame, but the fact it can’t even be discussed is telling.

Monoclonal antibodies have been approved for over a year.
Antiviral pills have been approved. They were apparently available in Texas and New York last week.
Minnesota has had zero promotion of monoclonals, and the Minnesota Dept of Health will give an update on the pills when they get around to having meetings to discuss distribution and equity.

Monoclonals can keep people out of the hospitals. Where have they been, and where are they ?
Where are the pills ? They should have shipped day 1.
Where are tests ?

“We’re gonna end COVID once and for all if we’re elected!” Lol yeah right. It’s actually gotten much worse under their watch than what the were accusing Trump of. It’s quite astonishing actually to hear them backtrack. Now it’s, “there’s nothing we can do in the Federal government, it’s in the State’s hands now.”

Everything happens on a local level someplace.

If our patchwork quilt of different healthcare systems pulling in different directions isn't working all that well; then maybe we need a single, public, centrally planned system run by experts?

Not exactly what he said, but he is not wrong. There are limitations on federal powers that have probably already been exceeded.

The feds can use carrots and sticks, but it is pretty much, exceptions noted, up to the states to accept and implement federal programs.
