COVID-19: Riverside County hits 0% ICU capacity – California

Riverside County’s intensive care unit capacity fell to almost zero on Monday, the public health department said, while the larger Southern California region designated by the state under COVID-19 protocols fell to 2.7% ICU capacity.

In total, Riverside County reported 930 people hospitalized with COVID-19 on Monday, with 184 in ICU, across 21 hospitals. That was up from Friday’s record-breaking 809 hospitalized across the county, with 170 in ICU units.

Although the county put the capacity at 0%, county spokesman Jose Arballo said during a 4 p.m. news conference:  “We’re not at zero — we’re close.”

Lee Rice, a spokesperson for Eisenhower Health, said Monday afternoon: “Currently we have two staffed ICU beds available.”

Palenta s dimljenim sirom

Polenta with smoked cheese – select your language a the site.

Myrela

VRIJEME: 20 minuta / PORCIJA: 4

  • 200 gr instant palente
  • mala veza žalfije, origana, bosiljka ili peršuna
  • 200 gr dimljenog zrelog sira
  • 1/2 kašike crnog ili miješanog bibera u zrnu
  • 8-10 maslina bez koštice

Stavite palentu u šerpu s 850 ml vode. Zagrijte do ključanja na dobro zagrijanoj ringli, zatim, smanjite toplotu zagrijavanja i ostavite da se kuva 10 minuta, miješajući često palentu drvenom kašikom. U međuvremenu, operite i osušite začinsku biljku, otkinite listove i sitno isjeckajte. Izrendajte ili isijecite na kocke dimljeni sir i izdrobite biber u zrnu. Sitno nasjeckajte masline.

Kada palenta postane gusta i počne da postaje čvrsta, umiješajte u nju začinsku biljku, dimljeni sir, biber prema ukusu i masline. Dobro mutite dok se sir ne sjedini s palentom, a mješavina ne počne da se odvaja od ivica posude prilikom miješanja.

Odmah poslužite ili ostavite da stoji 5-10 minuta da se dodatno stvrdne. Palenta će ostati topla.

Suspected Russian Hack Said to Have Gone Undetected for Months – — Just Sayin’

{The operative note: “The attack on SolarWinds appeared to grant hackers potential access….” There is no information yet if anyone got access to any sensitive information but it is a scary sounding story that certainly supports the interests of cybersecurity contractors and cybersecurity researchers to call attention to cybersecurity issues. So let’s wait and see what the investigation finds before we demand that millions be spent to make things “safer.” Grin.)

Health care is a summation of both the knowledge of the human body, and the tools, like the place holder ‘Zero,’ that give us ways to describe that knowledge.  The cooperation which re-started Europe’s learning is the same cooperation that any democracy movement must teach: (Have we had more than zero percent sufganiot?)

LED lights found to kill coronavirus: Global first in fight against COVID-19 – American Friends of Tel Aviv University American Friends of Tel Aviv University

Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have proven that the coronavirus can be killed efficiently, quickly, and cheaply using ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs). They believe that the UV-LED technology will soon be available for private and commercial use. This is the first study conducted on the disinfection efficiency of UV-LED irradiation at different wavelengths or frequencies on a virus from the family of coronaviruses. The study was led by Professor Hadas Mamane, Head of the Environmental Engineering Program at TAU’s School of Mechnical Engineering, Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering. The article was published in November 2020 issue of the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology.

Top Michigan Republicans shut down prospect of overturning result for Trump as Electoral College meets | TheHill

State Senate majority leader Mike Shirkey (R) and House Speaker Lee Chatfield (R) issued separate statements on Monday making clear the legislature would not appoint electors that undercut the state’s popular vote, which Joe Biden won by nearly 140,000 votes. The statements came as Michigan closed its legislative office buildings on Monday due to credible threats of violence.

“Again – I fought hard for President Trump. Nobody wanted him to win more than me,” Chatfield said. “I think he’s done an incredible job. But I love our republic, too. I can’t fathom risking our norms, traditions and institutions to pass a resolution retroactively changing the electors for Trump, simply because some think there may have been enough widespread fraud to give him the win.

“That’s unprecedented for good reason,” he added. “And that’s why there is not enough support in the House to cast a new slate of electors. I fear we’d lose our country forever. This truly would bring mutually assured destruction for every future election in regards to the Electoral College. And I can’t stand for that. I won’t.”
