Cardiac patients who cannot be revived at home must be declared dead, according to jarring new orders given to EMS teams in New York.

Effective immediately, patients in cardiac arrest will not be transported to a hospital if first responders cannot get a pulse on their own while administering CPR, a new internal memo obtained by ABC News states. City hospitals are overrun with COVID-19 patients and some cardiac patients may not receive the medical care they need to survive.

“These orders are binding and the FDNY will devise a plan for implementation,” Deputy Fire Commissioner Frank Dwyer told ABC News.

In a blunt advisory on March 29, the Nassau County Regional Emergency Medical Advisory Committee on Long Island stated, “There is no medical benefit to transporting patients in cardiac arrest with CPR in progress.” The statement goes on to justify the new protocol with a statistic saying successful resuscitation rates increase when patients are not moved during CPR.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been enjoying exclusive access to a private workout space at the court during the coronavirus pandemic, as her doctors have deemed her training sessions "essential to her well-being."

The court said Wednesday that, at the 87-year-old justice’s request, it set aside "limited private space" by its health facility for her to use for her famous exercise regimen. In a statement, the court said "[t]he space is being used exclusively by the justice. No other justices are using the space, and the employee gym is closed to all users."

The statement comes after Law360 reported Tuesday that Justice Ginsburg had still been holding her in-person workout sessions with longtime personal trainer Bryant Johnson during the coronavirus crisis, at a time when the Supreme Court has been closed to the public and oral arguments indefinitely postponed.

In an interview with Law360, Johnson said that the two were taking precautions to wipe down equipment, wash their hands and keep their distance. He said that he had also canceled his appointments with his other clients and was only working with the justice.

"Everybody's been shut down. The only reason why I didn't shut the justice down is because, hey, she ain't having it," said Johnson, who spent over 30 years in the U.S. Army and now works in D.C.'s federal district court. "She has that grandfather status to me and if she wants to train, that’s the least that I can do."

@Klaus Looks like quoted text is enlarged, but the original post is a bit smaller?

Safari onMac is not showing the radio buttons for the poll.

I'm using the dark theme if that matters.

Did for me....and I'm in Darkly skin (not theme).

@Mik said in Trump sues CNN for defamation:

Gonna be pretty hard to reach that bar. For a president.

Yup.

Public figure and all that.

You have to prove that the statements were false and published with malice.

I wonder what his lawyers, or perhaps I should say, what "this crop" of lawyers say.

@Renauda said in The Ukraine war thread:

You mistake me for the real Renauda. An equine. She was into hay and oats.

No way I'd make that mistake. She's a lot prettier than you.

Probably a bit more even-tempered too.

recklessly vengeful

What a wonderful and scary description.

Hay @Renauda !

You still have contacts "over there," right?

What's the sense of the "regular people?"

When this started, you said it was divided in threes: supportive, indifferent and opposed.

Has that changed?

Stop. Just stop.

Former President Trump has sued CNN in federal court in Florida for defamation.
In the lawsuit filed Monday, Trump’s attorneys claim CNN “has sought to use its massive influence — purportedly as a ‘trusted’ news source — to defame the Plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of defeating him politically, culminating in CNN claiming credit for ‘[getting] Trump out’ in the 2020 presidential election.”
The former president is seeking $475 million in punitive damages, according to the lawsuit.
Trump announced his intent to sue the network earlier this summer, saying in a statement he would “also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 Election.”
The former president’s attorneys allege in the filing that CNN “has undertaken a smear campaign to malign the Plaintiff with a barrage of negative associations and innuendos, broadcasting commentary that he is like a cult leader, a Russian lackey, a dog whistler to white supremacists, and a racist.”
It also cited anchors, personalities and pundits on CNN using the term “Big Lie” to refer to Trump’s repeated false statements about the 2020 election and voter fraud as evidence of the outlet attempting to associate him with Adolf Hitler.
In order to prove defamation, public officials and other public figures must prove journalists acted with actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth in their reporting, a high legal bar to clear given First Amendment protections granted to the free press under the Constitution. The New York Times, for example, has not lost a defamation case in more than 50 years.
CNN is a frequent foil of Trump, his followers and allies, as well as conservatives more generally.
In 2020, the network settled a $275 million lawsuit brought by a high school student in Kentucky who was at the center of a viral video controversy and became a lightning rod for critics of the mainstream media.
Trump’s campaign also sued the New York Times in 2019 over an op-ed suggesting a “quid pro quo” with Russian officials.
The latest lawsuit from the former president comes amid big changes at CNN, which was recently sold to media conglomerate Discovery.

Remember the "Where do you live?" TNCR Map?

Did the other migrants know where White Plains is?

"I think it's a trick. Except for the last two pieces, the dog always alternates choosing one of the two center pieces. I think that the man at he beginning is not mixing the tiles randomly. He is deliberately placing them in a pattern that he devised beforehand so that it will match the order the dog performs.

So, where are these people now? Just wondering.
