"Post any transplant, kidney, heart whatever, your immune system is shut off," Caplan said. "The flu could kill you, a cold could kill you, COVID could kill you. The organs are scarce, we are not going to distribute them to someone who has a poor chance of living when others who are vaccinated have a better chance post-surgery of surviving."

Right, organs pass people up because Doctor's are interested in people who will take care of said organs.

Would you give a lung transplant to a smoker who has no interest in giving up smoking? Would you give a heart transplant to a morbidly obese person who has no interest in living a healthier lifestyle? Would you give a liver transplant to an alcoholic who refuses counseling? Absolutely not. This is not different.

I don't think anyone here is disagreeing with the hospital's decision

I like how his eyes match the shape of his mouth...

Why did he do this? It was already blocked, couldn't he just have sorta let it die on the vine? Is there a reason to announce the rescinding of the regulation? Or is it just cleaner this way if he wasn't planning on fighting it?

Withdrawing it avoids an even more forceful defeat on the merits that could be used as even stronger precedent in future cases.

I'm on day 17 since symptoms started. 3 of those I couldn't get out of bed. Basically have a sinus infection at this point, but these last two weeks going through 5 of us at home wasn't fun. Wife couldn't work, so she didn't get paid. Kids behind on school because teachers couldn't get online running because they were out with covid, they literally had classes in school with no teachers for a period or two. Not sure why this country chose to just jump in and hope for the best, but this sucks.
Sorry to hear about that. Your longer symptoms make me think even more that I had Omicron a couple weeks ago during the peak in Allegheny County. I usually get over colds in only a couple days, but for that I had nasal congestion, sneezing, and other symptoms for more than a week.

Respectfully, I don't think the plan was "jump in and hope for the best." The US bet heavily on vaccines, and I would bet that the teachers who are out with Covid at your kids' schools were all vaccinated. The plan was derailed by Omicron not being blocked by the vaccines.

I think we also need a little perspective here. The fact that we're only two years into Covid being a thing and we had multiple vaccines around the one-year point that were and still are highly effective and preventing death and serious illness is a modern medical and scientific miracle. That those vaccines have proven to be less effective at preventing a new variant does not diminish how fortunate we all are.

Oh yeah, well said, I shouldn't even be complaining in the grand scheme of things. I feel very fortunate we were all vaxxed up and I'm sure it would have been a lot worse if we weren't.

I agree 100% Shyster. It's spectacularly amazing that these vaccines exist, and the people who pooh-pooh them are big old dummy-heads.

Friends dad died of covid 19 last week. Big antivax, covid ain't real guy. Even when he couldn't breath he refused to go to the hospital because he thought they'd blame it on covid.

Feel horrible for the family because they fought with him tooth and nail for a year to get the shot and take it more serious. But there is only so much you can do.

I just don't understand how you get to that point.... It's fake, but I'm dying of something. I don't want to go to the hospital because they'll say it's this fake thing. BUT YOU'RE STILL DYING... It's truly mind boggling.

Are they going to work any better than the ones on the open market?

Neither my wife's nor my son's covid infections were identified despite being symptomatic

I read an article, that the biggest cause of false negatives is user error. People not following the instructions exactly as written.

That said, we're past the at home tests being something that's useful. By the time you have symptoms and they actually work, you've already infected a ton of people because everyone is back at work and back to doing their thing.

Yeah, these would've been nice a year ago like the forthcoming masks. But it is what it is.

We'll probably need them when we get back from Disney next month. I get a couple of days home, and then start my new job. Not a great time to get COVID tbh.
