Hopefully you can read this as I posted incognito: if this doesn't get your dander up, nothing will. Regeneron and the other monoclonal antibody treatment is GOING UNUSED-- Read this and weep: one reason stated is that there is controversy over whether it works or not. Well, they certainly didn't hesitate to use it on Trump, Guiliani, Christie, et al. This is a freaking disgrace.
phooey it won't come up: i will try to find it elsewhere ----
Seattle public health officials have so little COVID-19 funding on hand they worry they will have to shut down some virus testing sites as they mount a campaign to dose their 2.3 million residents with Pfizer Inc’s and Moderna Inc’s vaccines.
King County, which represents greater Seattle, has $14 million of COVID-19 funding for 2021, roughly what it spends in a month to run public testing sites and other services, and a fraction of the $87 million emergency COVID-19 aid it received in 2020, said Ingrid Ulrey, the public health policy director for King County.
“We’ve been on pins and needles the whole last three or four months, watching what’s happening at the federal level, waiting, watching,” she said. When newly approved federal funds finally trickle down to her level, she expects them to be less than this year, insufficient and too late.
“It’s shockingly low,” she added. “We have a huge new, unprecedented, daunting task of vaccine delivery.” King County is at risk of being unable to hire the up to 40 additional nurses and administrators needed to begin the next wave of public vaccinations.

That was a heartbreaking read. I mean they all are. Great big losses. So many of them. But this had me sobbing.

You'd think the first death would have cautioned the area enough, but no. Party on.
ETA: Meanwhile, one of my best friends has been at an ER in Pensacola for 12 hours or so, waiting for a bed. He's had a stroke, but the beds are full of COVID patients.
so sad made worse IMO that it just didn’t have to be this way. THIS bad.
I hope your friend gets admitted to a bed very soon.
Rsbm She's pregnant, though, and works in NICU. I can't even.
Ugh. I was in an extremely abusive marriage and every day I think how awful it would be to be in a lockdown situation with my ex. Everyone is extra stressed and it ramps up abusers even more of course. There are just so many more ramifications than the obvious for keeping everyone safe. This is getting so depressing y’all!
Omg. Do these people think it’s funny or something to expose others?Me too. In the last 10 minutes, my daughter-in-law told me that her best friend's husband's parents had them for Christmas without telling them they were COVID positive. Husband is now positive, wife doesn't have symptoms so she is waiting for slower test. She's pregnant, though, and works in NICU. I can't even.

I worked with this doctor several times four years ago. A very sad story. She was a great doctor.
