(NYC) City officials have released stark new guidance to equally overworked ambulance crews, effective immediately, if they can’t resuscitate a patient in the field, they must withhold CPR and declare the person dead.
They can no longer continue to the hospital.
“These orders are binding and the FDNY will devise a plan for implementation,” said Deputy Fire Commissioner Frank Dwyer.
The new approach shows how stretched thin EMS and hospitals are.
“When you’re doing the CPR, you’re pushing really hard on the patient’s chest and they’re expelling some air in the process as well, so if they are COVID patients, they’ll be spreading it all around,” said Dr. Vinayak Kumar with the Mayo Clinic. “This is the risk-benefit math you have to take into account.”
The orders to stop CPR in the field is shocking to veteran doctors who are used to doing whatever it takes to save a life.

Following THAT shocking story, was a report about a teacher, in Yonkers, who tested positive. She self isolated, at home, for THREE times the recommended time....she isolated for 21 days.
Her first trip outside of her house, was to donate plasma, for testing. They re-tested her, for COVID...and, she tested POSITIVE, again.
She said that it’s been like living a science fiction movie. She asked why...how could she STILL be positive...and, they told her, We don’t know. We’re still learning about this disease.
“… and they told her we don’t know”.
Says it all.
for the first story, why can’t you put a bubble over the CPR victim’s head?, The static charge would trap some virus at least, and any air expired would mostly stay in the hood, reducing viral load. Move outside to further reduce/dilute load.
second story - I’m on day 14 of my self-quarantine YAY I made it! But have I? argh.
Not something I want to be right about but I called this out of the gate.
Meanwhile..how long did price charles isolate
