    Headline declares ICUs have been "spared" by surge. But "acute-care units" have been hit harder than before, and statewide hospitalizations are still rising. One doc warns that current trends present a high risk of reaching "crisis standards of care."

    Last year, Tennessee Republicans made it so county mayors could not require masks, even in their own buildings, unless COVID got very bad again. Omicron did that … and then some. So what is stopping mayors from requiring masks now? Gov. Bill Lee.

    Omicron may be hitting its peak but these stories are still everywhere. Things aren't close to "back to normal" for healthcare workers. Easy to look away until you or your loved ones are in need of emergency care.

    On the eve of Roe v Wade's 49th anniversary, I've written an essay about the role that violence and terrorism -- and the craven response to it -- played in rolling back a right that may soon be gone.

    A glimpse into the ICU at the Cleveland Clinic, where my mom has been caring for 20-year-olds on ventilators. It's so easy to be numb or jaded right now, but for the sake of our front line workers, we can't tune this out.

    Every time I read something like this I wonder how medical workers keep going, but as this piece shows, many cannot. We’re demanding too much.

    Honestly asinine to equate someone misstating a stat in oral argument (people misspeak!) with the deliberate choice to show up maskless. BY THE WAY did you notice what the Supreme Court actually *did* to undermine covid protections yesterday?

    Shame on everyone who spun this shit into a story.

    A Maryland hospital is defending its decision to transplant a pig's heart into a dying man following reports that the patient had a criminal record. The University of Maryland Medical Center says a patient's background does not factor into their care.

    This irrelevant fact was already reported by WaPo, yet the NYT felt the need to essentially re-run it on their own platform, adding absolutely nothing but fuel to a pointless, cruel fire. This isn't journalism.

    A Maryland man who received a pig’s heart last week in a pioneering transplant procedure has a criminal history stemming from an incident 34 years ago in which he repeatedly stabbed a young man, leaving him paralyzed.

    I want everybody to remember that the Supreme Court has said the government doesn't have the authority to make people wear a mask when it later says it *does* have the authority to force women to give birth against their will.

    Read on the late, brilliant Lani Guinier: "It is beyond unfair that this fierce advocate who was always the best defender of her own positions is best known for the one time white people took the mic out of her hands." via

    "One of the most egregious elements of these wrongful convictions is the fact that the states that are responsible... oftentimes don’t do anything to [help] people rebuild their lives." and , crushing it as always.

    It's a rare and rewarding thing in journalism to do deep report on a wrongful conviction, and then get to report as that wrongly convicted person is freed. Listen to this report by and on the release of Devonia Inman.

    Why my current level of Covid angst? Obvious stuff aside, I think 2 things have recently broken my brain: 1) Lawyers challenging workplace mandates at SCOTUS by phone bc they have Covid 2) A draft on an old case in a small town home to a casket company, where business is booming.

    "Everyone has a breaking point. Many health care workers have been driven close to ours, not just because of COVID itself but because of all the ugly things that humanity—particularly in the United States—has revealed about itself in our response to COVID"

    "I would call this staffing crisis the worst public health problem we have right now. Because it's not just affecting COVID patients. It’s affecting people with heart disease and cancer.…If you come into the emergency department right now, you’re likely to wait hours and hours."

    This is the thing I am worried about all the time now.

    Tennessee hospitals now face the worst staffing crisis of the entire pandemic. If COVID-19 cases continue to soar, and healthy staff keep dwindling, hospitals could be overwhelmed, despite a milder virus, before the current surge reaches its peak. From me:
