If North Texas runs out of ICU hospital beds, doctors can consider a patient’s vaccination status
North Texas doctors have quietly developed a plan that seeks to prepare for the possibility that due to the COVID-19 surge the region will run out of intensive-care beds.
If that happens, for the first time, doctors officially will be allowed to take vaccination status of sick patients into account along with other triage factors to see who gets a bed.
A copy of an internal memo written by Dr. Robert Fine, co-chair of the North Texas Mass Critical Care Guideline Task Force, was sent to members of the task force — and leaked to The Watchdog. It summarizes the latest work by the task force, a volunteer group that periodically updates medical guidelines for hospitals in our region. There are about 50 members from various hospitals in the group. Although their recommendations are not enforceable, the guidelines are generally followed.
The one-page summary memo is a “heads up” alert in the event things get worse, says Dr. Mark Casanova, director of clinical ethics for Baylor University Medical Center and a spokesperson for the task force. After Monday’s meeting, doctors had yet to make plans to inform the public.
“We’re trying to decide how to explain this addition to the public,” Casanova said.
Although doctors make triage decisions all the time, the proposed guideline addition is significant. Casanova predicted that if this change were copied by others medical care, for as long as the crisis persists, “is going to look and feel different for everybody who is alive right now in the United States of America.”
Yet a leading medical ethicist who studies how COVID-19 affects communities says he worries that adding vaccination status to the triage of patients will unfairly harm low-income people and people of color. These groups are historically disadvantaged when it comes to obtaining proper medical care.
One important note: A non-vaccinated person will not necessarily be denied care when competing with a vaccinated patient for an ICU bed, doctors say. Other medical factors come into play, such as underlying conditions and the likelihood that a patient will get better and leave the hospital.
“ could eat my weight when I was a child but let my mom open up a jar of her canned peaches and I would gag trying to eat them.”
What was wrong with them? One of my bushels was a type of canning peach. Never heard of it before but they said it actually taste better after canning or baking and keeps the firm shape. Where the other peaches sort of get mushy when you can them.
I just made a cobbler with it and they taste actually better after baking them than before. Very strange.
But Joe said that America is back!
I think it was because they felt slimy when I put them in my mouth and it would stimulate my gag reflex.
I got into big trouble with my mom.😁
Elder’s ex-fiancee said he brandished a gun at her
Alexandra Datig, the former fiancee and longtime radio producer for California GOP gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder, says she broke off an 18-month engagement with the conservative talk show host in 2015 after he waved a gun at her while high on marijuana.
Datig’s claim, which she regards as the culmination of a series of humiliating disputes that made her fearful for her safety and her ability to maintain her sobriety, comes as Elder has gained momentum in the recall to replace Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, with many observers counting him as the likeliest GOP alternative should voters decide to replace the incumbent.
Datig, 51, became well known in Los Angeles in the 1990s as a leading witness and informant in the prosecution of Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. Datig described being paid $10,000 per day and getting First Class air travel as one of the women who worked in Fleiss’s network. She has subsequently spoken out strongly against human trafficking.

Video demonstrates how the CA mail-in ballot can show if you voted to recall Newsome depending on how you place it in the envelope.
Which means they can be tossed w/o opening.

relatively, the term newbie prevails
“called Biden’s apparent mistake “unfortunate.””
Something the WH has to say quite often. Or is he instigating China?
With the interview they showed as bad as it is, what didn’t they show?

Democrats: “Thank you Joe Biden for hammering Florida about banning masks in schools!”
Also Democrats: “I’m moving to Florida!”

I can’t count how many times I’ve said it today alone, but it bears repeating.
Joe Biden can no longer serve as Commander-In-Chief.
He must resign from office immediately.
He has disgraced this entire nation.

Biden will eventually be replaced by the hyena. She’s in hiding now, but when she emerges, she will implode. She’s just too damn dumb.
Yes, the local radio hosts are talking about it & just read a statement from Larry. He denies it.
The Ex will be on at the top of the hour.
Thanks, keep us posted.
Unreal what they’re attempting to say, here. That healthcare is being RATIONED....based on your ‘papers’ status???
FTA....
....The one-page summary memo is a “heads up” alert in the event things get worse, says Dr. Mark Casanova, director of clinical ethics for Baylor University Medical Center and a spokesperson for the task force. After Monday’s meeting, doctors had yet to make plans to inform the public....
Talk about fear mongering!! And, rationing.
Isn’t this the same guy who was caught lying, early on during china flu, about numbers?
And, is a pro-vaxxer ‘administrator’?
There’s something about him that sounds so familiar.
As an aside....a friend told us, today, that TX A&M is offering a free semester of tuition....for those kids who’ve taken these shots!
Students who have not taken the shots have to provide a negative test....which makes ABSOLUTELY NO sense....what if they contract china virus when they’re leaving the testing center? Or, the next day?
The absurdity with all of this, continues.
Somebody (forget who now) was demanding they release the entire interview.
I don’t whether to laugh or cry:

Geez.....how much is the Gruesome Newsome campaign/DS paying this ex?
They must’ve polled independent CAs on what their biggest issue is....was it gun control?
Sounds like a script right out of Hollywood.
