#1 I suspect a lot of this has been going on in the UK's NHS without any publicity at all.

#2 Another odd phenom in the US health system: the bought and paid for anti-COVID-19 monoclonal antibodies released under an EUA by the FDA starting 9 Nov 2020, supposed to be given as infusions only to outpatients who are high risk for severe COVID-19 and newly diagnosed. Everyone over age 65 who turns + for COVID-19 and who doesn't need immediate hospitalization is eligible for this treatment. I know of a couple of elders in this category who were simply told by their PCP to go home and wait it out, without ever being offered a chance to receive this treatment. They then died a few days later. Even the existence of the infusion centers seems to be a secret. Last week I talked to a local nursing home's director of nursing and also a nurse practitioner about this. They both knew of the existence of the EUA but they were falsely under the impression no such centers existed within a reasonable distance of their facility. They expressed shock when I told them of 2 such facilities within 8 miles of their institution. The nurse practitioner is employed by a local hospital which runs one of the infusion centers. She wondered why her own employer had not even bothered to tell her of this. She treats several otherwise eligible elders every week.

#3 Maybe it's time to get one of those living wills they're are asking me if I have. Hell yes I want to live. Let's go from there and leave it at that.

#4 Remember when they made fun of Sarah Palin for predicting "Death Panels"?
