I've reached my limit with the racket every day at 7 PM in a neighborhood that's seen few hospitalizations and fewer deaths, the long bread lines and the absolute inability of the nipple ring brandishing blowhard NY governor to fix the Unemployment website so I can file a goddamn claim because shit is getting real and some asshole already chimped out at 5:30 AM in my building and all I have a improvised weapons and a huge part of the NYPD is out on sick leave. I can't watch the news anymore because if I see Cuomo droning on and on like a mongoloid in third grade one more time I'm going to lose my shit.

So, Crocs is apparently sending free Crocs out to nurses. I know this because our house got three pairs of the things in the mail. There is only one nurse.
So far, I’m liking this idea. It’s like “Look man, we’re not a medicine. But, thanks for still going to work. Here’s some shoes.”
Better than just more virtue signaling, because at least they’re giving out some free shit.

Alright so numbers. Deaths still on the 500s which is sad but not necessarily worrying, ICUs and hospitalizations are down. Every hospital I have some kind of indirect network comms with is reporting that things are looking up so as long as the trend keeps going I'd say reopening the economy was a great idea and we'll be able to relax more in a few weeks.

Politically, there's been a healthcare-exclusive control session. I paid literally no mind to it whatsoever. I have partial online exams soon enough I can't take this much bullshit. General morale seems to be finally recovering from that temporary shitfest even amongst circles with more conspiratards, seems VOX's crazy outbreak has made them realize they were flatearth levels of crazy so we're finally at like early outbreak levels of pride again. Spain is getting better.

Our economy overall took a decent hit and will keep getting some. But if they control it well it'll also get better in many ways. The small business centric strategy of the gov is a great call and if they convince people to keep the push for enterprising we'll be up to usual levels of employment soon enough and growing. Time to give it all working!

flipland quick update
flipland tourism department has released online the tribute song "With a Smile" to the people on the frontlines, which for me is a lot more tasteful than celebrities singing "Imagine"

The song is originally made by Eraserheads, which they are usually referred as the "Beatles of the Philippines"

Chris 'Fredo' Cuomo had an altercation with a man who asked him 'Why are you breaking your brother's quarantine?'

CNN's Chris Cuomo hit with police complaint after threatening elderly man

Verbal confrontation over the anchor breaking coronavirus quarantine set by his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo
www.independent.co.uk www.independent.co.uk
https://archive.vn/Uk2G3

The "jackass, loser, fat-tire biker" that CNN's Chris Cuomo berated on radio has filed a formal police complaint against the Prime Time anchor

The 65-year-old Long Island man, David Whelan, was the subject of a Cuomo tirade during a broadcast of "Let's Get After It with Chris Cuomo" over an alleged verbal confrontation between the two on Easter Sunday.

According to the East Hampton police complaint, obtained by The Independent, Cuomo allegedly threatened Mr Whelan, saying he hadn't "seen the last of him" and that "he would beat the crap out" of him.

"At this time D. Whelan does not wish to pursue charges but does want the situation documented as he is worried about C. Cuomo retaliating against him," the report said.

In an interview with The New York Post, Mr Whelan said he approached Cuomo and asked why he wasn't social distancing.
"I said to him, 'Your brother is the coronavirus czar, and you're not even following his rules — unnecessary travel'," he said.

Cuomo has been in quarantine and broadcasting from his Southampton home since announcing on 31 March that he had tested positive for coronavirus.

According to Mr Whelan, Cuomo responded: "'Who the hell are you?! I can do what I want!' He just ranted, screaming, 'I'll find out who you are!'"

"He said, 'This is not the end of this. You'll deal with this later. We will meet again.' If that's not a threat, I don't know what is," Mr Whelan said.

Cuomo vented about the incident during his SiriusXM radio show on Monday, explaining that his public profile prevented him from firing back at people talking "bullshit".

Actually maybe 'Fredo' is the wrong nickname for him, this sounds like something Sonny would do

Börk update: 1333 dead so far http://archive.li/wip/cKGSZ
kölkölkö.png

The situation in Sweden: 1,333 people have died after falling ill with covid-19, 574 women and 759 men, according to the compilation of the Public Health Authority (last updated: 16/4 14.00).
• The number of sick people in Sweden, as in all other countries, is in practice unclear, but 12,540 have been tested positive for the new corona virus. 996 patients have needed intensive care. The Public Health Authority says that Sweden has a general spread in large parts of the country.
• The government recommends universities, colleges, upper secondary schools and adult education to teach at a distance. Compulsory schools and preschools are open until further notice.
• Prohibition on public gatherings exceeds 50 people.
• A ban on visitors prevails on all the country's elderly homes from 1 April.
• The Public Health Authority encourages those who feel sick to stay home. The population should be aware of symptoms, wash their hands frequently with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds, sneeze and cough in the arm fold, and avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth.

Anders Tegnell says the National Health Agency expected a big increase in the amount of infections and deaths during the Easter week but that it didn't occur. (Truth or just a matter of statistical delays? Tune in the next week!) (Same link as above)
Tegnell: The expected increase did not occur

The Public Health Authority reports that 1,333 people have now died in Sweden after being found infected by covid-19 and that 954 people are being cared for in IVA departments.
Anders Tegnell, state epidemiologist at the Public Health Agency opens the press conference, he says that the expected increase in new infections and deaths in Sweden has not been. Tegnell says that it is not Stockholm that is currently the worst affected by the virus outbreak, as both Sörmland and Östergötland have more per capita victims.
The state epidemiologist also notes that the infection has spread to elderly homes in several locations in the country.
- Almost half of those who die in Sweden live in elderly homes, which is very serious. We must become better at protecting the elderly.
He concludes by recalling the actions that individuals should take: Stay at home if you feel symptoms, keep a distance, wash your hands carefully.
The National Board of Health and Welfare's emergency preparedness manager Johanna Sandwall says that 20 per cent capacity remains in healthcare, but also that the Armed Forces will make three helicopters available if it is necessary to move patients between regions. These will be based on Norrbotten, Uppsala and Västra Götaland respectively.
Max Stockman, religious minority administrator, Religious Support Agency, says the agency is working with different religious groups to reach as many Swedes as possible, for example, by publishing information films and information in multiple languages.
Stockman also says that we are in an intensive period of festivals affecting several religions, where Easter is indeed settled but Ramadan, Orthodox Easter, Pesach's end and other religious holidays are soon here, increasing the need for collaboration.
On a question about how afflicted people with obesity are compared to others, Tegnell says that the authority has not studied it in detail, but that it can be done in the future, but also that people with obesity are over-represented in health care.
- There is nothing that would surprise anyone in healthcare.
When asked why the Public Health Authority and the City of Stockholm give different pictures of what the situation actually looks like at the moment, Anders Tegnell replies that it is because of describing different situations, when the authority observes and studies the spread of the virus, while the healthcare system handles the result of it.
"What we are observing will be Stockholm Healthcare in a week, it is a very tough situation in healthcare in Stockholm," he says.

The situation in Stockholm seems to be getting worse http://archive.li/OzsTd
Stockholm region on the pressure on health care: "Is getting worse"

The spread of the new corona virus is spreading rapidly in the Stockholm region and the situation in the health care is about to worsen, according to Björn Eriksson, Director of Health. He now urges residents to continue to follow the advice of the authorities.

In recent days, the Public Health Agency has expressed cautious optimism as it was not possible to see a steep rise in the spread of the infection of the new corona virus in Sweden. Most of the new cases are still registered in Stockholm and in the region there are no signs that the pressure on health care is about to be relieved, according to Björn Eriksson.

- No, the need for healthcare is about to grow. We can see no relief. There is no reason to see anything but that it is getting worse. We still have very high pressure on intensive care and that will continue, ”says Björn Eriksson.

On Wednesday, 224 patients with covid-19 intensive care received at the region's emergency hospital. In addition, an additional 884 patients received hospital care. Björn Eriksson recalls that the total number of covid patients in Stockholm exceeds the normal capacity seen in care centers at the region's largest hospital, Karolinska.

- We saw for a period that the need for care for diseases other than covid-19 was lower, but now we are beginning to see that these patients also come into our hospitals and emergency rooms. They should do it, care should work for them too. But it also increases the total need for healthcare, says Björn Eriksson, adding:

- There is no reason for anyone to drop the discipline when it comes to the advice of the Public Health Authority. We now believe that the spread of infection is greatest. If anyone thinks that this is about to level out, then it does not apply to health care in Stockholm.

At Thursday's press conference, state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell received a question from TT about the various images you can use if you listen to the Public Health Authority's analysis, and the statements that have recently come from health officials in the Stockholm region.

- We live in slightly different times. We live a little further ahead than you do in health care, because there you constantly see the accumulated number of cases. I try to say that all the time: this does not mean that the pressure in the health care system has gone down, but it gives a signal to the healthcare system to slowly but surely the pressure will decrease, Anders Tegnell said and continued:

- But I understand it's tough. It is very tough in Stockholm healthcare, and I would not dream of denying it.

On Wednesday, the Stockholm region also presented more detailed figures on what the spread of infection has looked like in elderly homes in the county. It was then discovered that at least some residents of 172 of 313 homes had been tested positive for the corona virus. 274 of the 701 people who have died in the region have lived in elderly homes.

- I look at it seriously. It is precisely in the accommodation that we do not want infection. We have been working constantly to try to protect our frail elderly people and especially these residents. It is a big task to try and make sure it does not spread further.

On Thursday afternoon, Region Stockholm has called for a press conference. There, a new prognosis of the expected need for hospital care for patients with covid-19 infection will be presented. The press conference will start at 16.30.

Ultimately, the National Board of Health and Welfare says they're going to try re-examing all corona related deaths to see if the amount of deaths is lower or higher than what has been reported so far http://archive.li/nAKoO
Uncertainty about the Swedish death toll - now the number of deceased persons must be determined

The actual number of Swedes who died as a result of the new corona virus may be higher or lower than the figures reported so far. This says Mona Heurgren, head of the National Board of Health and Welfare, who will now produce statistics based on the cause of death documented in health care.

- Possibly there will be some more, she says.

The daily presentation of the number of deaths in covid-19 has raised questions. Accounting methods and which are included in the statistics have been discussed together with how well it is possible to compare the death rates of different countries.

It is now clear that all covid-19-related deaths should be re-examined. This is due to what is otherwise the standard procedure when it comes to reporting causes of death.

- In a pandemic one wants to report deaths with as short a delay as possible. Therefore, the statistics on the authorities complement each other, says Mona Heurgren, head of the register and statistics department at the National Board of Health and Welfare.

The National Board of Health and Welfare's usual procedure for reporting causes of death has not yet been used. Instead, the Public Health Authority has received ongoing reports of laboratory-confirmed cases and deceased through its register for infected.

- What we will do now is look at how the doctors themselves documented the cause of death for each patient in accordance with the regulations that exist, says Mona Heurgren.

The cause of death certificates - which a doctor completes in connection with the death of a person - have not been taken into account in the statistics on covid-19 so far. According to the National Board of Health, the certificates can either say that there is a "strong suspicion" that the person has the new corona virus or that the infection is confirmed. In the new statistics, both of these categories will be coded as covid-19, according to Mona Heurgren.

- We will be able to further quality assure the process by using more factors. Partly because we collect data directly from the responsible physician. We will be able to learn more about what health care believes has been the cause of death.

According to Mona Heurgren, the material with the death certificates has so far shown that the current figures seem to correspond fairly well with how the ordinary cause of death statistics will fall out.

- Our assessment of what we got in is that we probably end up quite similar, but with some shifts.

Mona Heurgren says there are likely to be people who are included in the statistics, but also those who are missing out.

- We may find, for example, a multi-disease cancer patient where covid-19 has not been the main cause of death.

Mona Heurgren says that the WHO on Wednesday issued new guidelines on how the new codes linked to covid-19 should be interpreted and used, which the National Board of Health will follow. According to her, Sweden stands out because from the outset we have reported all those confirmed infected as dead, even outside the hospitals.

- In the international statistics, for example, there are doubts about how those who die in the elderly are counted, she says.

The National Board of Health and Welfare statistics are scheduled to start being published next week.

- What we have seen so far is that the numbers match up quite well. Perhaps there will be some more, says Mona Heurgren.

Im curious about what we're going to do regarding all the people here in the US that are now in huge debt due to COVID treatment. We're going to need to figure something out regarding that since most insurers are waiving costs until May 31st. Also a large number of people lost their insurance with their jobs because gasp, tying healthcare to employment is real fucking stupid.


One good thing that this virus did is force some employers to actually give paid sick leave though, so that's nice.

Great, all we need now is for the black death to return to add to the misery.

The rat issue is worrying to me personally though. Had some issues with loft rats a few months ago (live on top floor of apartment building with access to loft area) which an exterminator sorted but management company didn't do any prevention like having someone seal up entry points.

Rats are now back and I can hear them running around and scratching up there and its driving me fucking insane. I was wondering if the return was partially caused by food sources drying up and them venturing further afield.

Great, I'm sure that will not delay my claim. At all. You can only submit a partial claim and then wait for a call back from a NYS employee.

The whole fucking thing should be automated online or over the phone, not used as busy work for state employees. Fuck Cuomo, I hope he gets a virulent kiss from Corona-chan through his nipple rings the flaming faggot.
