This seems like they’re referring to the flu with the hot mic, given the talk of a vaccine and lower mortality rate.

That begs the question, is a carpetbagger worse than a scalawag? Humor intended.

Well, it's a question of geography and proximity. Y'see, the scalawags are our own, and family is family.

Whereas your various and sundry carpetbaggin' Yankee bastages were all foreigners.

New York will reopen at a different rate in different regions of the state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo confirmed Tuesday morning.

“We’re going to make reopening decisions on a regional basis based on that region’s facts and circumstances,” he said during his daily briefing. The briefing was held in Buffalo, his first time venturing west of Schenectady since the pandemic began.

“Just like some states will reopen before other states because they have a different circumstance when it comes to Covid and their status with Covid, it’s also true across the state,” Cuomo said. “[The] North Country has a totally different situation than New York City. Central New York has a different situation. We operate as one state but we also have to understand variations, and you do want to get this economy open as soon as possible.”

Cuomo first expressed conceptual openness to the idea of regional variations on Friday. But he acknowledged that it will be logistically difficult. If, for example, barbershops in Poughkeepsie reopen before those in Bronx, there might be a rush of shaggy people from areas with high infection rates traveling even more than they would have under normal circumstances.

He provided the first taste of how this regional rollout will work by announcing that some hospitals can resume elective surgeries and treatments.

“We're going to allow elective outpatient treatment, which means the number of beds remain available because the number of people are using those beds is still relatively minimal,” he said. “And we're going to allow it in those hospitals and counties in the state that do not have a Covid issue.”

Cuomo said the policy will exclude hospitals in Westchester, Rockland, Erie, Albany and Dutchess Counties, as well as in New York City, where there still is “a real Covid problem.”

A growing number of elected officials and business advocates have promoted the idea of regional variance in recent days.

“The economic impact … has taken an extraordinary toll on an already struggling Upstate economy,” Unshackle Upstate Executive Director Michael Kracker said in a statement Monday. “A one-size-fits-all strategy is simply not the best fit for Upstate New York.”

I wonder if she really listened to herself while saying this.

Hospital and health system's (generically called providers) biggest component of input is labor. With elective surgeries canceled, outpatient visits dropped off the cliff, there's nothing for people to do. Unless you're in a hot spot (we all know where those handful of places are), then the census is low. The amount of .gov aid will be a drop in the bucket to the damage done to their finances. And many/most provider networks were stressed to begin with. So many will fold or be bought up by integrated delivery networks that include a hospital arm and an insurance arm.

Remember, Insurance companies are sitting pretty right now. The premiums roll in, and nobody is having their knee surgery, their eye surgery, their colonoscopy, their fill-in-the-blank. Pretty much unless you have COVID-19 and are in big trouble with it, you're probably steering clear of the hospitals right now. And the health insurance companies are stacking the money to the ceiling. They'll send some support to their provider networks after the gov aid taps run dry. But the independents will have a rough go at this next year. Many small independent hospitals will fold or will be acquired.

De Blasio’s social distancing tip line flooded with penis photos, Hitler memes
By Tina Moore, Gabrielle Fonrouge and Bruce Golding

April 21, 2020 | 1:43pm

Mayor Bill de Blasio’s critics let him know how they really felt about him ordering New Yorkers to snitch on each other for violating social-distancing rules — by flooding his new tip line with crank complaints including “dick pics” and people flipping the bird, The Post has learned.

Photos of extended middle fingers, the mayor dropping the Staten Island groundhog and news coverage of him going to the gym have all been texted to a special tip line that de Blasio announced Saturday, according to screenshots posted on Twitter.

One user sent the message “We will fight this tyrannical overreach!” to the service and got an automated message that in part said, “Hello, and thank you for texting NYC311.”

“F–k you!” replied @MorganLSchmidt1, along with a meme showing Adolf Hitler and the words “TO THOSE TURNING IN YOUR NEIGHBORS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES — YOU DID THE REICH THING.”

“Start flooding their reporting text numbers with this pics!” the tweet added.

Other profane messages included a photo of a bowl of gummy candies in the shape of male genitalia and a sign saying “EAT A BAG OF D–KS.”

It was not immediately clear whether any of the posters actually lived in New York City.

An NYPD source said that “dick pic” photos of real penises have also been texted to 311, and a caller phoned in a tip that de Blasio was seen performing oral sex on someone “in an alleyway behind a 7-11” early Sunday.

“He looked at me…and coofed in my direction,” the caller said, according to a photo of the 311 operator’s computer screen provided to The Post.

“Coof” is a newly coined term for coughing while infected with the coronavirus, according to the Urban Dictionary website.

The inundation of off-color texts was so large the city had to temporarily shut down the service.

“The city has begun vetting everything before dispersing the information to precincts,” the NYPD source said.

Oh geez, that is hilarious! Serves that prick right, but you know there are still lots of good little Nazis willing to inform on their neighbors.

Indeed, but when the percentage of "Dick Pic" texts to legit "Snitch" texts is 10 to 1, you help gum up the 'machine'.

Besides, it's just 'civil disobedience' and it's 'Patriotic to Protest'.

I walk my dogs every day and I also spent a decent amount of time outside doing outdoor activities. It is amazing these past few weeks how I’ve seen people I never saw previously outside walking their dog or riding a bicycle or walking/running. It’s like people discovered there’s other shit to do other than stay inside and watch TV.

This does bother me a lot about Fauci and his objectivity. A real Clinton lover.

His credibility is shit, now.

Why?

Because it's obvious that no one does or could love Hillary Clinton.

What a fucking liar, he is.

New York state issued a blanket do-not-resuscitate directive last week instructing first-responders not to try to revive patients without a pulse amid increased call volumes and lack of resources during the coronavirus public health crisis, according to a report.

Paramedics were previously told to attempt to resuscitate a patient found in cardiac arrest for up to 20 minutes, the New York Post reported.

The new order is “necessary during the COVID-19 response to protect the health and safety of EMS providers by limiting their exposure, conserve resources, and ensure optimal use of equipment to save the greatest number of lives,’’ according to a memo issued last week by the state Department of Health.

The memo insisted similar guidelines have been issued “in many areas of the U.S. as well as other locations throughout the world.”

“These changes are based on standards widely agreed upon by the physician leaders of EMS Regional Medical Control Systems across NYS and the Medical Standards Committee of the State Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council,” a health department spokesperson said in a statement.

This comes after the Regional Emergency Medical Services Council of New York, which oversees the city’s ambulance service, instructed paramedics last month not to bring patients whose hearts could not be restarted at the scene into hospitals already overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. That directive meant first responders could still try to revive patients at the scene for up to 20 minutes.

“They’re not giving people a second chance to live anymore,’’ Oren Barzilay, the president of Local 2507, Uniformed EMT’s, Paramedics & Fire Inspectors Union, told the Post. “Our job is to bring patients back to life. This guideline takes that away from us.”

Only about three or four out of every 100 patients found at the scene without a pulse can be revived at hospitals through CPR, or other aggressive measures, such as drugs or hospitalization, an unidentified veteran FDNY paramedic told the newspaper.

New York state recorded at least 258,589 confirmed coronavirus cases, with at least 19,118 deaths by Wednesday morning, according to Johns Hopkins University.

As hospitals across the country face shortages of personal protective equipment due to surges of coronavirus patients, health care professionals were reportedly privately discussing the option of issues a blanket do-not-resuscitate order for infected patients, the Washington Post reported last month.

If hospitalized patients infected with the virus begin to go into cardiac arrest, doctors and nurses must first dress in full personal protective equipment before beginning CPR, meaning some patients might die in the interim. Some doctors issue do-not-resuscitate orders for COVID-19 patients on a case to case basis without families signing off but blanket measures for all patients infected with the virus were considered too draconian by ethics professionals in the medical community.

Another example of using tax payer money to fund a government service that they may or may not decide to provide at any given time.

This will increase the total death toll. Although not from COVID, each is a direct result of the mismanagement of the healthcare system due to the virus.

Granted, it's hard to say whether any given patient will survive a full arrest. But not even having a chance is unconscionable and the opposite of EMS ALS philosophy
