I hear you. Oddly enough, I give Omar the benefit of the doubt on this one.
But I'm completely and utterly in favor of seeing Newsom, Whitmer, and Cuomo all being fucked in the ass by a stallion. That would certainly do us all a lot of good.
Added: The usual daily bullshit from the county I live in. Like I give a fuck.
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE CARMEL PINE CONE
December 22, 2020, 5:25 p.m.
CHOMP GETS 1,200 DOSES OF MODERNA VACCINE
Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula received its first allocation of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine Tuesday morning, a spokeswoman told The Pine Cone.
Monica Sciuto said FedEx delivered 1,400 doses of the Moderna vaccine to the hospital this morning — the same amount Natividad Medical Center and Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System were also allocated. Late this afternoon, SVMH said it had also received it's shipment of the Moderna vaccine.
Sciuto said CHOMP uses a tier system to prioritize who will get the vaccine first, though its entire workforce is scheduled to be immunized in the first round of vaccinations.
“The first group in our workforce that has been offered the vaccine includes those who work in patient rooms at highest risk for exposure to Covid-positive patients,” she explained. “This includes employees and providers who perform direct patient care as well as others who must enter those rooms.
The group includes personnel whose work takes them into the ICU and emergency department and the Covid-19 inpatient units. "The types of personnel include doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, phlebotomists, and environmental services staff, among others," Sciuto added.
CHOMP and the other two hospitals last week each received 975 doses of the Pfizer version and began immunizing staff shortly thereafter.
No timetable has been announced for the beginning of vaccination programs for Monterey County first responders, or in senior homes, hotspots or among other vulnerable populations.
CASE RATES ALL OVER THE PLACE, BUT ICU NUMBERS HOLDING STEADY
• 3,304 'new' cases one day, zero two days later, then 1,099
Because of what health officials are calling a "backlog" of coronavirus cases in a state data system, the number of "new" cases being reported by the Monterey County health department has swung wildly between extremes over the last 5 days, from a high of 3,304 cases on Friday, to zero on Sunday.
As a result, it is impossible to know whether the surge of infections hitting the county since late October has been getting worse, staying the same, or improving. Likewise, the charts and tables we've been producing since last Spring have become useless — and will be until the county's reporting system stabilizes.
But one thing that's not useless is the state's tabulation of ICU bed availability in the Greater Bay Area region, which is the number used by Gov. Gavin Newsom to justify the shutdown we've been under for a little more than a week.
This morning, the California Department of Public Health said 13.5 percent of ICU beds in the region were unoccupied — which is just about where it's been for the last week. According to the governor's criteria, the percentage has to improve to at least 15 for restaurants to be able to reopen for outdoor dining, along with other types of businesses.
At CHOMP, where the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are being administered to medical staff before being made available to high-risk sectors of the public, there are currently 33 inpatients who are coronavirus-positive, including 12 in the ICU. SVMH said it had 49 inpatients with the virus, and Natividad said it had 62. (Each of these hospitals haveat well over 200 beds. - JS)
Here's a cartoon of Birx, who is apparently retiring after being caught breaking the rules the "little people" are supposed to abide. Twat.
Yup, the bitch is gone.
She can bite my ass. Useless turd.
