Get Happy! SF Homeless praise the bug: "This whole COVID-19 was a godsend for us"
[SFExaminer] The City opened its first temporary sanctioned tent encampment this week, and more are planned to follow.
The move comes as outrage mounts over sidewalks clogged with tents and dire conditions in the Tenderloin amid the coronavirus pandemic. The number of tents pitched on sidewalks and other public areas is up by 71 percent citywide and 285 percent in the Tenderloin since January, according to a recent count by The City.
The first designated encampment, or safe sleeping site, is in a fenced-off area on Fulton Street near City Hall and contains roughly 50 tents spaced apart for social distancing, along with a handful of portable toilets, a couple of handwashing stations and 24-hour security. Officials say food, access to showers and cleaning services will also be provided.
Michigan Doctors Hit Whitless with Lawsuit: "These executive orders are meant to save lives-- instead, they're endangering lives"
[Townhall] Grand Health Partners, Wellston Medical Center, Primary Health Services and patient Jeffery Gulick on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), State Attorney General Dana Nessel and State Health Director Robert Gordon over the state's stay-at-home order.
According to the plaintiffs, Whitmer has continually extended her stay-at-home order to "flatten the curve" from the Wuhan coronavirus. The group believes Whitmer continually extending her stay-at-home order – without approval from the state legislature – infringes upon individual rights and liberties.
The state originally anticipated 220,000 hospitalizations as a result of the Wuhan coronavirus. As of April 27th, that number sat at 3,000, making it less than 1.4 percent of the projected hospitalizations. Michigan is prepared should any additional cases come forward, with over 2,400 ventilators available, almost 1,000 ICU beds and more than 7,000 unoccupied hospital beds.
Grand Health performs endoscopies, appendectomies, various types of hernia surgeries and repairs, as well as bariatric surgeries, all of which have been deemed elective. Because Whitmer's stay-at-home order, doctors are having to wait until patients are in dire need of surgery before the procedures are carried out.
Wellston Medical Center and Primary Health Services provide primary care services for rural residents who are predominantly on Medicare or Medicaid. The stay-at-home order resulted in a 95 percent drop in the number of patients the clinics could see. Not having the ability to schedule simple in-office procedures resulted in at least one hospitalization.
NJ home health aide charged with exposing coronavirus to elderly client who died
[FoxNews] A New Jersey home health aide is facing criminal endangerment charges in the COVID-19 death of an 80-year-old woman under her care, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said Friday the elderly Camden woman died in April after contracting the coronavirus from the aide, Josefina Brito-Hernandez, 49. Four other members of the woman’s household also became infected, including two developmentally disabled siblings, they said.
“In Camden, a home health aide that was symptomatic was told to self-isolate after testing,” New Jersey Police Superintendent Patrick Callahan said at New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s coronavirus briefing Friday, referring to Brito-Hernandez.
“She ultimately came back positive and went against instructions and actually went into a home the next day to care for a few different family members,” Callahan said.
[RADIOSHABELLE] The Somali health ministry on Sunday confirmed 64 new cases of coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

Abikar said one patient succumbed to the respiratory disease as the corpse count so far since the first infection remains at 56.
She said four people recovered from COVID-19, bringing the total number of people who have been discharged from hospitals to 152.
