The US Federal Reserve has two imperatives: keeping #employment high and #inflation low. When these conflict - when unemployment goes near-zero - the Fed forgets all about #FullEmployment, cranking #InterestRates to "cool the economy" (AKA "increasing #unemployment"). 1/

An economy "cools down" when workers have less money, which means that the prices offered for goods and services go down, as fewer workers have less money to spend. 3/
You can be forgiven for thinking the Great #Inflation Story is how a pandemic, a senseless war, and #monopolistic price-gouging temporarily drove up prices, prompting calls to crush workers and suppress wages in order to "reduce demand" for goods:

How can a Governor turn his/her back on Most Vulnerable Citizens of New York. Not only are #NursingHomes as Restrictive as Prisons, Residents were without Legally Responsible People-Guardian,Family to Oversee Care while Governor “granted” (illegal) exemptions from Liabilities!
Ageism is PC? Or is it simply Political Payback?
I know @cvpayne could do the math 🧮
How much money did Nursing Home Owners/Liability Insurance save being granted immunity? How much money is saved when lawsuits roll in? Problem w/immunity-I don’t believe is legal. Sue anyway.

I wish even one Director of Nursing had stood up to AC’s Irresponsible Order and Refused. I would have refused. Nursing Homes regularly close to admissions during Deadly #Influenza season. Similar-airborne virus.

WaPo: Seema Verma, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services head, vowed in late March to “keep what happened in Kirkland from happening again.” Since then, "homes that received a clean bill of health earlier this year had about 290,000 coronavirus cases and 43,000 deaths" (2/3)
Since March, more than 70,000 nursing home residents have died, plus hundreds of staff members, making up about 30% of U.S. coronavirus deaths.

#NursingHomes important to know #Covid19 builds up & spreads like cigarette smoke; so closed windows in cold weather is making conditions high-risk for super spread- it can be easily mitigated by airing rooms (ventilation), air purefier fans (filtration) & checks with CO2 monitor

#CovidKim Outrage du jour. @KimReynoldsIA refused 2 fund cautionary testing at nursing homes. Instead, $450K was diverted from #CARESAct to pay #IaGov staffing already paid by #IaLegis, then she hid shift! She got greedy. Folks will die. #IaPolitics #IaGov iowalabornews.com/?p=28091&link_…
Half of all #Iowa #CovidDeaths occur in #NursingHomes and #CovidKim cut testing for Nursing Homes and took the money that it could have been used for to expand her personal staff budget. #IaPolitics #IaGov @IAGovernor @IowaGOP #COVID19 #Covid19IA
#CovidKim set the stage for general destitution of #NursingHome lives by gutting travel allowances for #NursingHomeInspectors shortly after she became governor in 2017. How can you inspect nursing homes if you cannot visit them?? #NLM #NursingHomeLivesMatter #IaPolitics #IaGov

#WWI fostered influenza in the crowded conditions of military camps in the U.S. & in the trenches of the Western Front in Europe.
The virus traveled with military personnel from camp to camp and across the Atlantic.

The 1918 #H1N1 influenza pandemic caused 500,000-700,000 deaths in the U.S.— almost 200,000 of them in Oct. 1918 alone— & an estimated 30-40 million deaths worldwide, mostly among people aged 15-35 years.
World-wide transporting of #WW1 military troops was the reason.

The 1918 influenza pandemic was caused by an #H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. It was first identified in U.S. military personnel in spring 1918.
500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus.

@GOP @GOPChairwoman @realDonaldTrump you guys all want a #greateconomy and to be the party of jobs then do the right thing. Why would you let extended unemployment benefits lapse? You know that causes a #housing crisis. You dont want to fund testing either? That causes cases to
surge. It causes citizens unable to work. It causes children unable to go to school. But you want to cut off #testing for #Covid_19 #CoronaVirusUpdate . You know all of your actions and inactions make things worse not #MAGA. If you wonder why poll numbers are in the tank its bc
people know what youre doing to them. It seems like you all have abandoned America. Youve abandoned #HealthcareHeroes. Youve abandoned our nations #children . Youve abandoned our #nursinghomes. Youve abandoned #mothers and #fathers. Youve abandoned looking out for #Americans. You
1/ Q: What have we learned about #COVID19 transmission in #nursinghomes?
A: Broad #testing and protective equipment are essential to containing spread and saving lives.
A: Broad #testing and protective equipment are essential to containing spread and saving lives.
2/ Residents of nursing homes and professionals who provide care have been extremely hard hit by #Covid_19. Once the #virus enters a nursing home, the shared living space can make it difficult to contain.
3/ By the time individuals show symptoms of #COVID they are likely to have spread infection.
We see this occur in the following case study case where a Skilled Nursing Facility was hard hit despite symptom monitoring and visitor restrictions:

Also this week, @mackert talks about why health experts have had such a difficult time explaining what the public needs to know about the virus. Here's a quote from him.
