Bed Capacity and usage in Oklahoma. Used this to partially verify a claim that gunshot victims were having to wait for attention because of the number of OD case from horse dewormer - a story which broke this morning -- perhaps you saw it. As far as capacity, well.. OK doesn't have many "hospitals" with ICUs.
Infrastructure (Ports and Rail)
And on top of All of THAT... infrastructure. Oh, yeah, we need that... This is the current view around the Port of Los Angeles. Most of the problem is that these ships ... these cargo ships are now twice the size they were 20 years ago. We haven't upgraded for 70 years, so these ships don't fit like they should. And once we unload them, we don't have the trains to take the cargo out of the docks -- or trucks. Some of these cargo ships have been floating out there for more than 3 months.
Science and Belief
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man’s life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
~ Albert Einstein
Take the Hyperloop For Pizza in Chicago
With this, we could meet in Chicago for pizza dinner, or go to a steakhouse in Kansas City -- all of us -- and still be home that night in time to get some sleep on a Thursday night.
The Mandate on Vaccines
I think that people want to live. To remain healthy. If you are infected and you don't have symptoms, that doesn't mean you aren't damaged. Lungs, Brain, Heart. Vaccines help with that.
I think Right-wing extremists, and to some extent even more mainstream R/media rely on financial support from companies selling nutritional supplements and miracle cures — and that financial support is arguably a significant factor pushing the right to become more extreme.
Vaccines work. Don't get that twisted. They don't "Cure". They work. Besides that, it should be law. It's not hindering anyone's legal rights. Jacobson v Massachusetts says so. So do a lot of others. This isn't new. You are already mandated to vaccines. They don't even need to write the law really, except as a Call to Action.
Be Better. Stop Promoting Harm.
From Jacobson v Mass
The liberty secured by the Constitution of the United States does not import an absolute right in each person to be at all times, and in all circumstances, wholly freed from restraint, nor is it an element in such liberty that one person, or a minority of persons residing in any community and enjoying the benefits of its local government, should have power to dominate the majority when supported in their action by the authority of the State.
It is within the police power of a State to enact a compulsory vaccination law, and it is for the legislature, and not for the courts, to determine
