Reporting in from NYC/ Bellevue Hospital/ the courts.
Our sister-hospital, Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, is getting hit very badly. It’s getting quite real and no longer hypothetical.
I laughed at it originally, but my 3d printer is now making respirators around the clock. Rikers is releasing low-level charged detainees, which, while humane, typically releases homeless people to shelters and warm mass-transit stations which are questionably less at risk than a jail.
If I didn’t have kids, and if my wife wasn’t out of work, I would be responding to the calls of all-available-doctors.
Thing is- if I get sick or my doctors get sick, we can’t evaluate prisoners for transfer OFF Rikers Island.
It’s bad, and I’m not prone to hyperbole.
Up shot- in my downtime remote-working I got the Alexa Command SSMS stuff working. Pyrrhic victory but I’ll take it.
