    • 6.6 million jobless claims.

      3.3 million was last week, and now it looks not too bad in light of today.

      6.6 million.

      10 million claims in the space of 8 days.

    • No pulse? No ride.

      https://abcnews.go.com/US/patients-cardiac-arrest-brought-hospitals-medical-memo/story?id=69933810&cid=social_twitter_abcn

      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.

    • The Gym is Open!

      https://www.law360.com/articles/1259086

      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."

      t does sniff like something that sounds bad, but which isn't.

      I was wondering the same thing. It's entirely possible that what he described is totally without nefarious motive or implication.

      And, if that's the case, smashing O'Keefe's iPad and calling the cops is just a bit over the top.

      Remember the mantra, "Democrats are the crazy party and Republicans are the stupid party?"

      Yeah, well, the Democrats sure look stupid at the moment.

      https://starwalk.space/en/news/should-you-worry-about-an-asteroid-hitting-earth

      Asteroid 2023 BU, discovered only five days before its encounter with the Earth, will zoom by our planet on January 26, 2023. The closest approach will occur at 21:17 GMT (16:17 EST). The asteroid will pass just 3,500 km (2,174 miles) above the Earth’s surface — between low Earth orbit where the ISS flies and geostationary orbit where geostationary satellites fly. While most asteroids pass beyond the Moon’s orbit (which is 384,400 km or 238,855 mi from the Earth), this one will get 100 times closer to us! According to NASA, the asteroid’s diameter equals 3.8-8.5 m (12-28 ft), which is about half the size of the famous Chelyabinsk meteorite. Despite flying quite close to our planet, the asteroid will pose no threat to the Earth: even if it entered the atmosphere, it would break up around 30 km (18.6 mi) above the ground.

    • Schiff announces run for senate

      https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-01-26/adam-schiff-senate-campaign

      Rep. Adam B. Schiff, a decades-long fixture in San Fernando Valley politics who rose to national prominence as a top Democratic foe to then-President Trump, is joining a contest for U.S. Senate that is quickly shaping up to be highly competitive, he announced Thursday.

      A mild-mannered former prosecutor, Schiff built a profile as a moderate Democrat focused on foreign policy and national security. The Trump era, however, thrust him into the spotlight, as he led the first impeachment of the then-president and served on the congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack that culminated in referring Trump to the Justice Department for criminal investigation.

      “The Senate is where many of these fights over the future of our democracy take place,” Schiff said in an interview prior to his campaign launch. “Some of Donald Trump’s biggest enablers are in the Senate. And I think that is where I can most effectively champion our democratic institutions.”
