I’m not sure what your background is (so forgive me if you know this already) but usually EMS resus discontinuation protocols require medical arrests be transported if they’re in public view, even if discontinuation is indicated. This is just a suspension of this bit.

PD is usually responsible for bodies in private homes and this just extends it to public places.

So EMS need to transport the probable-corpse rather than letting the police handle it.

Supposedly they do. However, they don't qualify for UI so they don't get the unemployment bonus. The CARE act supposedly will allow them to qualify for UI but states are saying they're waiting on "guidance" from the department of labor on how to proceed before they implement it. I wouldn't bet on the guidance ever coming.

i convinced myself to apply in my state because it has the blurb about waiting for guidance from the labor department but also has a blurb that once they get guidance they would pay retroactively for denied claims that should have qualified. so if the guidance and money ever show up, seems like a good idea to get the claims in even if they're denied.

Update: Clerk was fired by his boss who apologized to press, as expected. Plot twist: Boss is Indian immigrant.

quote:

An Indiana doctor who works with cancer patients said he was verbally abused before being kicked out of a gas station Friday by an employee, who asked if he was of Asian descent and told him to leave. The gas station owner called WISH-TV on Wednesday to offer an apology and said the clerk has been fired.

The customer, who asked only to be identified by David, said he stopped at a Marathon station in Martinsville, Indiana, for a cup of coffee and gasoline, WISH-TV reported.

David said he tried to explain he was of Korean descent, was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and had not traveled out of the country for years, it was not enough for the clerk.

David said he was accosted by the clerk, who accused him of being Chinese and kicked him out of the store, the television station reported.

“He was very angry and told me to get out," David told WISH. “I wasn’t allowed to buy anything there, not allowed to use the bathroom there. ‘Never come back. Don’t ever come back, (he said), in a very violent and hateful way.”

David said he usually stopped at the station on his way to Indianapolis, but he will not return there.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this before,” David told WISH. "Part of me is hurt and angry and saddened that people can actually behave that way to another.”

The owner of the gas station, who is of Indian descent, told the television station he was sorry the incident occurred and wants to correct the mistake.

The owner said that if social distancing allowed it, he would like to speak to the man who was targeted, WISH reported. The owner said that, being Indian, he is also an immigrant from Asia.

Martinsville Police Chief Kurt Spivey told WISH his department was told about the situation last week, and the business has been advised that discrimination is inappropriate.

"Exactly what I was told was, anyone of Chinese descent is not allowed in the store, and it was directly related to the spread of the coronavirus,” Spivey said.

The Morgan County prosecutor said anyone experiencing discrimination should contact authorities.

nah. obesity rates are virtually same between black, hispanic and white people (at least in MI). diabetes is a few %s higher although i dont think theres been much to show diabetics are dying at a higher rate (it would not be surprising). there are noticeable differing ACE2 expression (not receptors) in D/I type allele frequency by genotype, (The II, ID and DD genotype frequencies were 22.5%, 47.0% and 30.5%, respectively. Ethnicity was a major determinant of the D and I allele frequencies as the prevalence of the D allele was 39.1% in Asians, 56.2% in Caucasians and 60.3% in blacks) but it's unknown whether that makes a difference and possibly just as likely BCG or some poo poo made differences in china/japan/sk/taiwan vs italy/iran/us which are getting wrecked hard; and also govt response but response in SK/Japan was much less and didn't take off as big or deadly for some reason. in this particular instance, this is likely this:

So for 1, call the state, because it's entirely up to them. If your state doesn't adopt it, you get nothing. Cool.

For 2, the answer is nobody knows, because this is the first I've heard about these stricter criteria and god only knows how to apply/prove these criteria. So I'll just assume this is bullshit that won't happen.

For 3, not in my state! They're still "waiting on guidance from the Labor Department" about how to do it, so nothing yet. I assume this "guidance" will never come.

So this bill does nothing for me. Nothing. God drat the democrats.
If your state did medicaid expansion it's probably only a matter of time before they sign on.

If your state did not do medicaid expansion you might have to worry but I don't know how many states are going to turn down free money for their local economies even if they don't consider the ramifications of everyone being homeless and starving.

For #2 here, the $600 ui bonus applies regardless of how you get approved. The 13 extra weeks is the only thing with any special criteria. If you were laid off last week, you should still get the extra $600 once accepted by the state without needing the UI period extension.

There have been studies done on a bunch of animals, from primates to birds, where one subject is given a smaller reward than the other for performing an identical task. They end with the recipient of the larger reward eventually sharing part of their reward with the other. Socialism is the natural order.

Hell, even the birds on my garden feeder understand it. When I first set it up there were constant squabbles over access to this new food source. Now that they're used to it always being present, they tend to sit on a nearby wall and take turns.

that makes sense, and I never thought of it that way. Humans really only compete violently (except in sport or other rituals) when the resource is scarce. We have enough resources to take care of ourselves, and I believe that this global pandemic will open a lot of people's eyes to how bullshit capitalism and the GOP is. I hope.

bad news lol, states will turn down free money if it keeps "those people" from getting it

Also for anyone new to unemployment, keep in mind that the phone lines and in fact the websites may have very limited hours, like phone lines closing at 2 pm. So plan accordingly. And yes, in the past some states have taken their unemployment websites offline every day at 7pm or some such nonsense
