Negative icu beds means they have patients in the hospital requiring critical care level that are in a waiting line to get onto the proper floor and are just on a lower level receiving substandard care until someone in the ICU dies and they get to take their spot.

No that's peasant poo poo you get nothing.

But yes rich people immediately get in no questions asked. This is absolutely a thing and hospitals make it extremely clear when a VIP is there and they are to get front of the line for everything. Abbott would have 0 problem getting an icu bed, but it won't come to that anyway since he's getting top flight concierge treatment now and the best treatment is early intervention.

look man no one could have known that this could be a problem. when the vaccine makers said that they wouldn't have the children vaccine ready until 2022 everyone new that they were just saying that to be coy. opening up schools is the only possible thing you can do, there are literally no other options at all.

SEELCT * FROM table_name WHERE thread_id = ? ORDER BY post_date LIMIT 100000 OFFSET 50

This query will scan 100050 rows if an index on (thread_id, post_date) exists. What is on every other page does in fact matter.

There are some ways around this sort of pagination, but there are tradeoffs. It's hard to avoid if you want the ability to say "give me the 1709th page of this thread" for example.

In the forums, since posts can’t really appear or disappear, it would probably make more sense to index by (thread_id, post_ordinal) if one exists. That way a query could issue an index seek for the nth to nth + 40 posts and retrieve them without needing a scan of the 0…nth posts.

Of course, if you let posts appear or disappear, you need to re-key everything for that thread, which sucks.

throw another city and state on the pile of near full ICUs, anchorage alaska: https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/anc...and-scrambling/

quote:

Alaska’s ICU system is maxed out — too many patients and not enough staffed beds, medical professionals from the state’s top doctor to floor nurses said this week.
...
Statewide, more than five times as many people are hospitalized with the virus now — 132 as of Monday — as there were in early July. COVID-related deaths are rising, too. One infectious disease doctor had three patients die in the space of a week recently -- one every day for three days.

As of Tuesday, there were just a handful of ICU beds available across the city, according to a municipal dashboard. A statewide hospital dashboard showed Anchorage’s three ICUs closed or near capacity.

A hospital I worked in for a bit had a unit that I can only describe as being the donor wing. Hardwood floors throughout. Ever see the rooms in maternity? They're big because sometimes there's a lot of people needed for labor. The patient rooms in the donor wing were maternity sized, but furnished like a hotel suite.

Gonna lol when libs force FDA to approve early for kids and it turns out it permanently inhibits puberty or some poo poo.

If they said to extend the trial by several months and add more kids, that means they're trying to statistically water down some anomaly they found.

quote:

At the urging of federal regulators, two coronavirus vaccine makers are expanding the size of their clinical trials for children ages 5 to 11 — a precautionary measure designed to detect rare side effects including heart inflammation problems that turned up in vaccinated people younger than 30.

President Biden promised at a meeting in Ohio last week that emergency clearance for pediatric vaccines would come “soon,” but the White House has not been specific on the timeline. It was unclear whether expanding the studies will affect when vaccines could be authorized for children.

The Food and Drug Administration has indicated to Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna that the size and scope of their pediatric studies, as initially envisioned, were inadequate to detect rare side effects. Those include myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the lining around the heart, multiple people familiar with the trials said.

FDA forced to make decision: "Kids hearts exploding, or Kids with dementia"

Anecdotal but I know nurses in three separate hospitals around here. Vaccinated patients in hospital are extremely rare and all have other conditions leading to their hospitalization. Vaccines keep you from getting sick enough to be hospitalized, all other things being equal. And that protection seems to stay strong longer than just infection.

We should just have roaming gangs sneak into chud houses and jab them in their sleep.

Question for any school teacher and administrators!

Today we finally committed to not send our kid back to their NYC public elementary school until fully vaccinated. However we're trying to decide between the following options:
-homeschool them until the vaccine becomes available
-constantly claim they've been exposed/have flu like symptoms and need to home quarantine until a remote option appears or the vaccine becomes available

NYC's public school system is taking the pandemic semi-seriously so quarantine after exposure is still required, making the second option sort of possible. However it will likely become fairly obvious what we're doing. The question is whether this would annoy the teacher or school administration?

My thought is that the teacher will likely be happy to have one less kid in their class right now. Also we intend to do everything by the book, so our kid won't be counted as truant which might be a concern for the school admin. Is there some other consideration I'm not seeing?

Homeschooling is a last resort, as we like our kid's school and would be unlikely to get back in if we did withdraw them. We'll definitely do it if forced to though.

I think you're unlikely to get away with the second option. Usually in instances where students are chronically absent but do not have an IEP/504/other medical documentation with accommodations, administration gets involved and asks for documentation. I worked as a school district nurse the last few years and would be tasked with this sort of thing.
