Hospitals are seeing heart attack and other emergency patients drop off over coronavirus fears

Image
The coronavirus pandemic is creating a "silent sub-epidemic" of its own, The Washington Post reports.When doctors look around their hospitals, especially around New York City and other major metropolitan areas, they see nothing but coronavirus patients. But those beds are usually filled with patients being treated for other emergencies, leaving some doctors wondering where the heart attack and stroke patients have gone.Dr. Harlan M. Krumholz explicitly asked this question in an April 6 op-ed for The New York Times. At Yale New Haven Hospital where he works, Krumholz said at the time he had "almost 300 people stricken with COVID-19, and the numbers keep rising — and yet we are not yet at capacity because of a marked decline in our usual types of patients." Krumholz's hospital has never been so empty, he said.Cardiovascular surgeon John Puskas said the same of his unit in New York City's Mount Sinai hospital. Nearly all of his 60-bed cardiac unit is filled wit

‘Safest Place in the World’ Cruise Ship Finally Docks in Italy

Image
ROME–When the Costa Deliziosa drops anchor in the northern Italian port of Genoa on Tuesday, it will mark the end of a travel era. The 12-deck cruise ship is the last major passenger vessel on any sea anywhere in the world to make final landfall with passengers after completing a voyage. On Monday, the only other ships at sea still with passengers came into harbor—the MSC Magnifica docked in Marseille, France, and the Pacific Princess docked in Los Angeles. Meet the Insane People Still Planning Cruise Ship VacationsBut, like the other ships, the Deliziosa’s last port of call is important for another reason than just marking the end of cruising as we know it. The ship set sail on Jan. 5, back in a pre-pandemic world, and doesn’t have a single case of COVID-19 onboard among the remaining 1,631 passengers and 900 crew members. For the last two months, since the pandemic all but killed the cruise industry, Deliziosa’s passengers and crew members have been living in a safe bubble. The ship

Trump news – live: President accused of ‘taking advantage of coronavirus crisis’ by suspending immigration as Georgia leads reopening of states

Image

Barr Is Doing the Dirty Work as Trump Gambles With Our Lives

Image
Donald Trump is calling for his followers to LIBERATE the states from the social-distancing measures that are staving off an even greater coronavirus death toll. Trump’s enforcer, Attorney General Bill Barr, is now poised to support Trump’s call for insurrection by turning to the federal courts—seeded with a legion of newly installed right-wing jurists—to undermine critical public-health protections on his boss’ behalf. If Barr and Trump get their way, the states will soon be “opened up” to the virus, and thus to a massive number of needless deaths. While Trump began openly attacking his own social-distancing guidelines over the past week, Barr has been doing so for some time. During an April 8 interview on Fox News, the AG described the steps belatedly taken to limit spread of the virus as “draconian.” He also said that “after April 30,” the Department of Justice would begin to scrutinize such “restrictions on our liberty” more closely. Republicans Cheer as Trumpist Judge Launches Hol
