HCA has reaped enormous profits by squeezing workers and cutting costs, while showering top management with lavish compensation.

HCA made nearly $4 billion in profits in 2020 during the pandemic, up more than $200 million from 2019.

At the same time the company cut supply costs by $112 million, even though workers spoke out for months about inadequate PPE and having to reuse single use equipment like masks and gloves.

HCA’s staffing levels were 29 percent below the national average. HCA’s low staffing levels have been linked to poor patient outcomes.

For example, low staffing levels at HCA’s Colorado hospitals may have contributed to patient death as well as other preventable harm.

Axios email

The boosters are coming

Both sides of the Atlantic are delivering the same message right now: COVID-19 vaccine boosters will become a regular part of our life for years to come.

Why it matters: The variants are spreading fast, but our technology can keep pace on developing boosters, experts say.



From the U.K.: “We have to appreciate that we were always going to have to have booster doses; immunity to coronavirus doesn’t last forever,” COVID-19 Genomics UK head Sharon Peacock told Reuters (https://link.axios.com/click/23222270.460641/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmV1dGVycy5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZS91cy1oZW FsdGgtY29yb25hdmlydXMtYnJpdGFpbi1wZWFjb2NrLWV4L2V4 Y2x1c2l2ZS1yZWd1bGFyLWJvb3N0ZXItdmFjY2luZXMtYXJlLX RoZS1mdXR1cmUtaW4tYmF0dGxlLXdpdGgtY292aWQtMTktdmly dXMtdG9wLWdlbm9tZS1leHBlcnQtc2F5cy1pZFVTS0JOMkI3MF YyP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9bmV3c2xldHRlciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVt YWlsJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1uZXdzbGV0dGVyX2F4aW9zcG0mc3 RyZWFtPXRvcA/6004bc4704300c1ae269be66B07b38fb1).
From the U.S.: Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told "Axios on HBO" (https://link.axios.com/click/23222270.460641/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXhpb3MuY29tL3BmaXplci1jZW8tY29yb2 5hdmlydXMtY292aWQtdmFjY2luZS1wcmljZXMtMDdiM2Q0NDQt OTc2Yi00MzQxLWI0ZTYtMzMzNDA4YTVhZTBlLmh0bWw_dXRtX3 NvdXJjZT1uZXdzbGV0dGVyJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRt X2NhbXBhaWduPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXJfYXhpb3NwbSZzdHJlYW09dG 9w/6004bc4704300c1ae269be66Bbd959022) the company expects people to need annual boosters for many years. Pfizer can turn around new versions of its vaccine in 116 days, if necessary.


The big picture: Peacock told Reuters she's most concerned about the South Africa COVID variant and is also paying attention to the U.K. and Brazilian variants.

They're doing it wrong.

[Winehole23]

The FDA has granted an emergency use authorization for a T cell test for COVID, designed to look for previous infection with SARS-CoV-2.

Developed by Seattle-based Adaptive Biotechnologies, the T-Detect COVID Test does not look for antibodies to see if someone has been previously infected. Antibodies can be imperfect targets; test too early, and the immune system hasn't cranked them out yet, but test too late, and they may have faded already.

Instead, a T cell test for COVID matches antigens (like the coronavirus's spike protein) to receptors on another type of immune system cell — you guessed it, the T cell.

This test could show how many people have really had COVID-19, as well as information on how long immunity lasts and how well vaccines are working.

“The situation is deteriorating,” he said.

The Paris region has an infection rate of 446 out of 100,000 inhabitants — up more than 23% in a week — Castex said, and intensive care units are close to saturation. Northern France has an incidence rate of 381 in 100,000. France’s nationwide infection rate is about 250 per 100,000.

But the prime minister insisted that France was sticking to its “third way” of dealing with the virus: “Pragmatic, proportional and regional,” targeting problematic areas.

They should be honest. We dont know how efficient vaccines are with all variants. Thats why they are only approved for emergency use. Wear a fucking mask. Period.

Plus Fauci isn't there to do demagoguery and politics, like Paul is. Unlike Rand who quit his day job and stopped caring about his Hippocratic oath, Fauci needs to tell it how it is.

There's variants of the virus out there, the protection you have may or may not be effective, and better be safe than spark this shit all over again.

Also the meltdown over wearing a fucking mask in public is ridiculous, tbh :lol

The Biden administration's weak emphasis on non-medical interventions and its apparent indifference to avoiding unnecessary sickness and death is a point of continuity with Trump. I'm not sure from what I've read that the claim children don't spread COVID is well founded.

I also think it's borderline reckless to crowd schoolchildren together indoors without a strong emphasis on ventilation.

If the goal line really is just 10 weeks away in the USA, what sense does it make to open everything up and send all the kids back to school?

Nice anecdote.

American Academy of Pediatrics and CDC both recommended kids in schools months ago with appropriate guidelines-done appropriately in my opinion as both a pediatric and public health doctor it can be done if safe practices followed and I believe teachers should and are getting priority for the vaccines. In the DC area schools are reopening with some with hybrid models so we will see how it plays out.

Can housepets be a reservoir for COVID-19?


In one of the new studies, he and colleagues analyzed pets admitted to the cardiology unit of the Ralph Veterinary Referral Centre in the outskirts of London. The hospital had noticed a sharp uptick in the number of dogs and cats presenting with myocarditis: From December 2020 to February, the incidence of the condition jumped from 1.4% to 12.8%.

That coincided with a surge of the B.1.1.7 variant in the United Kingdom. So the team looked at 11 pets: eight cats and three dogs. None of the animals had a previous history of heart disease, yet all had come down with symptoms ranging from lethargy and loss of appetite to rapid breathing and fainting. Lab tests revealed cardiac abnormalities, including irregular heartbeats and fluid in the lungs, all symptoms seen in human cases of COVID-19.

Seven of the animals got polymerase chain reaction tests, and three came back positive for SARS-CoV-2—all with the B.1.1.7 variant (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.18.435945v1.article-info), team reported yesterday on the preprint server bioRxiv. SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests on four of the other animals picked up evidence that two of them had been infected with the virus. Earlier this week, researchers at Texas A&M University detected the B.1.1.7 variant in a cat and a dog from the same home (https://today.tamu.edu/2021/03/15/texas-am-research-uncovers-first-known-covid-19-uk-variant-in-animals/) in the state’s Brazos county.

The Texas owner was diagnosed with COVID-19, and owners of five of the 11 U.K. pets tested positive for SARS-CoV-2—all before their animals developed symptoms. The Texas pets showed no symptoms at the time they were tested, though they both began to sneeze several weeks later. All of the U.S. and U.K. animals have since recovered, though one of the U.K. cats relapsed and had to be euthanized.

*Preprint* study of COVID long-haulers. (n=1407)

27% is a lot, but the proportion of COVID long-haulers who were asymptomatic at 0-10 days after diagnosis (32%) suggests that millions of people who never showed symptoms or received diagnosis will come down with persistent symptoms months later.


Emerging data suggest that the effects of infection with SARS-CoV-2 are far reaching extending beyond those with severe acute disease. Specifically, the presence of persistent symptoms after apparent resolution from COVID-19 have frequently been reported throughout the pandemic by individuals labeled as “long-haulers”. The purpose of this study was to assess for symptoms at days 0-10 and 61+ among subjects with PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The University of California COvid Research Data Set (UC CORDS) was used to identify 1407 records that met inclusion criteria. Symptoms attributable to COVID-19 were extracted from the electronic health record. Symptoms reported over the previous year prior to COVID-19 were excluded, using nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) followed by graph lasso to assess relationships between symptoms. A model was developed predictive for becoming a long-hauler based on symptoms.27% reported persistent symptoms after 60 days. Women were more likely to become long haulers, and all age groups were represented with those aged 50 ± 20 years comprising 72% of cases. Presenting symptoms included palpitations, chronic rhinitis, dysgeusia, chills, insomnia,hyperhidrosis, anxiety, sore throat, and headache among others. We identified 5 symptom clusters at day 61+: chest pain-cough, dyspnea-cough, anxiety-tachycardia, abdominal painnausea, and low back pain-joint pain. Long-haulers represent a very significant public healthconcern, and there are no guidelines to address their diagnosis and management. Additional studies are urgently needed that focus on the physical, mental, and emotional impact of longterm COVID-19 survivors who become long-haulers.

[Winehole23]

I'll circle back when the picture becomes clearer, but it *looks like* we're taking a really big chance reopening schools for in-person learning.




With the more recent large-scale random sample testing performed in the UK, Sweden, and the US, we now know the following facts:

1. The secondary COVID-19 attack rate – that is, the rate at which the coronavirus spreads – was actually higher for both elementary and high school students than adults when the schools were open for in-person instruction between April to November in England (ONS Household Infection Survey).[v] (https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/new-cdc-guidelines-to-reopen-schools-could-be-dangerous#_edn5)

2. Both elementary and high school children were far more likely than adults (2x and 7x, respectively) to be the first case in their households rather than the adults between April-December in England.[vi] (https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/new-cdc-guidelines-to-reopen-schools-could-be-dangerous#_edn6)

3. The spread of infections among school-age children and in the community closely tracked school openings and closures as well as attendance, with the prevalence of infection being highest in these groups compared to all other age groups while schools were open and tiered restrictions for broader society remained in place. Importantly, particularly with the new variants, growth of the pandemic continued in regions where these variants were prevalent even as other institutions were shut down in the national lockdown in November.[vii] (https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/new-cdc-guidelines-to-reopen-schools-could-be-dangerous#_edn7)These statistics were mirrored in a recent study on the risk of coronavirus spreading in U.S. schools.[viii] (https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/new-cdc-guidelines-to-reopen-schools-could-be-dangerous#_edn8)

4. Increases in the prevalence of infection among school-age groups preceded rises of infection in other age groups. This has a vital implication; the new studies suggest that infections among children at school do not just reflect infection rates in the community. Rather, they drive increases in infection within the community through spreading from schools into homes, and from there to the broader community.

5. Claims that teachers do not face serious risks are simply false. The risks of infection turned out to be two times greater for teachers of in-person classes relative to those conducting virtual online classes in Sweden.[ix] (https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/new-cdc-guidelines-to-reopen-schools-could-be-dangerous#_edn9) The study also found an approximately 40% higher infection risk in England in those in teaching occupations compared to those in non-teaching occupations, even when schools were only partly open (REACT-1 study).[x] (https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/new-cdc-guidelines-to-reopen-schools-could-be-dangerous#_edn10)

6. Several studies also show an increased risk of infection among parents of primary and secondary school children being taught in-person within schools.[xi] (https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/new-cdc-guidelines-to-reopen-schools-could-be-dangerous#_edn11)

7. The spread of new, more easily transmitted and more deadly variants underscores the true dimensions of the threat from in-person school instruction. With the new B.1.1.7 variant now surging in many parts of the world, variant cases continued to rise with an R=1.45 (compared to an R of only 0.9 for non-B.1.1.7 variants) even during national lockdown while schools were open. R only dropped below 1 – a critical level for controlling the rate of infection – following complete school closures. The numerous outbreaks linked with B.1.1.7 in school settings across the globe over the past few weeks are of grave concern.

8. Between 12-15% of primary and secondary school children had one or more persisting symptoms 5 weeks after infection, according to an ONS survey that took care to examine all infections, including asymptomatic infections.[xii] (https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/new-cdc-guidelines-to-reopen-schools-could-be-dangerous#_edn12) Before that study appeared, it had been widely thought that because mortality is low among children exposed to SARS-CoV-2, that children are not impacted. Given we know so little about the long-term implications of “long COVID” syndromes, which at least in adults have been often associated with organ dysfunction, it is important to adopt the precautionary principle, and reckon with long COVID related outcomes in addition to deaths.

9. Recent evidence supports the role of mitigations in reducing the impact of transmission within schools. However, it is clear that multi-layered protections are needed, rather than single or a few measures, as the risk reduction is associated with the number of mitigations in place.[xiii] (https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/new-cdc-guidelines-to-reopen-schools-could-be-dangerous#_edn13)

Lowy bodies found in the brains of primates, post-infection.

This is a preprint study, so more info is needed. Also, the results of primate studies might or might not apply to humans.

The point is long term effects of COVID aren't well known yet.


These data emphasize the virus’ capability to induce neuropathology in this nonhuman primate model for SARS-CoV-2 infection. As in humans Lewy body formation is an indication for the development of Parkinson’s disease, this data represents a warning for potential long-term neurological effects after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

You were going to have a high death toll no matter who was POTUS. Places like UK and Italy have a higher death toll per capita than we do.

Went by CVS, they had their vaccination table and check in going, the 3-5 people in the 15 minute post vax waiting period all looked like average aged 30-50yo adults. Looked well organized.

I still see some of my elderly neighbors wearing masks when they are walking or doing yard work, who cares, if it makes em feel better go for it.

Still wear my mask anywhere indoors even tho my antibodies prob thru the roof.

Top Fox producer dies from coronavirus

Eric Spinato, the head booker and senior story editor for the Fox Business Network, died over the weekend, the network said Monday.

Spinato's brother, Dean, wrote on social media that the cause of death had been the coronavirus.

"COVID took my brother today," he wrote. "He was a gem and one of a kind. I'm so broken and lost for words."

Spinato worked at Fox for nearly 20 years. He joined the network in 1998, before briefly leaving in 2004 to work at CNN and MSNBC. He returned to Fox in 2007 and worked at the company ever since, working primarily with Maria Bartiromo.

Trash' buddy in Brazil is even worse than Trash

Covid: Brazil's daily deaths surpass 3,000 for first time

the virus continues its rapid spread, pushing hospitals close to collapse.

The country has reported 298,676 deaths linked to the virus since the start of the pandemic, with experts saying the situation is virtually out of control.

President Jair Bolsonaro, who has opposed lockdowns and criticised face masks, defended his actions on Tuesday.

Pot-banging protests were held in major cities during his televised address.

The worsening of the Brazilian outbreak is also attributed to the spread of highly contagious variants of the virus.

The president has argued that the collateral damage to the economy brought by restrictions would be worse than the effects of the virus itself, a view shared by many of his supporters.

natural protection, especially among older people, cannot be relied on.





During the first surge (ie, before June, 2020), 533 381 people were tested, of whom 11 727 (2·20%) were PCR positive, and 525 339 were eligible for follow-up in the second surge, of whom 11 068 (2·11%) had tested positive during the first surge. Among eligible PCR-positive individuals from the first surge of the epidemic, 72 (0·65% [95% CI 0·51–0·82]) tested positive again during the second surge compared with 16 819 (3·27% [3·22–3·32]) of 514 271 who tested negative during the first surge (adjusted RR 0·195 [95% CI 0·155–0·246]). Protection against repeat infection was 80·5% (95% CI 75·4–84·5). The alternative cohort analysis gave similar estimates (adjusted RR 0·212 [0·179–0·251], estimated protection 78·8% [74·9–82·1]). In the alternative cohort analysis, among those aged 65 years and older, observed protection against repeat infection was 47·1% (95% CI 24·7–62·8). We found no difference in estimated protection against repeat infection by sex (male 78·4% [72·1–83·2] vs female 79·1% [73·9–83·3]) or evidence of waning protection over time (3–6 months of follow-up 79·3% [74·4–83·3] vs ≥7 months of follow-up 77·7% [70·9–82·9]).

With the benefit of increased genome surveillance of the coronavirus, several recent studies have identified signatures of convergent evolution (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.14.422555v6). Here in the U.S. our laboratory found at least seven genetically independent (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.02.12.21251658v3) lineages that acquired a mutation at one particular spot on the virus’s infamous spike protein, the one it uses to latch onto human cells. Spike has a sequence of linked amino acids, and the mutation occurs at position number 677. In the original SARS-CoV-2 this is the amino acid glutamine, abbreviated as Q.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-coronavirus-variants-dont-seem-to-be-highly-variable-so-far/

Covid-19 Variants: Five Things To Know About How Coronavirus Is Evolving

The Sars-CoV-2 virus is changing in ways that are

making it more transmissible,

increasing the severity of disease it causes and

allowing it to infect people who should have immunity.

These variants are causing concern among global health experts, particularly as there are signs that some vaccines may be less effective against them.



The virus is always changing but occasionally makes an evolutionary leap
These are variants of SARs-CoV-2, not new strains
Chronic infection cases and higher levels of population immunity may have enabled the virus to evolve
Sequencing has played a crucial role in tracking new variants
Vaccines are already being changed to deal with variants
