As states await the promise of a renewed federal pandemic response and expand the number of Americans who qualify for a shot, some governors are trying to scale up their covid vaccine operations — and smooth out the kinks — with the help of the private sector.

In Washington state, Starbucks, Microsoft and Costco are lending logistical expertise and manpower to public health agencies that are trying to dispatch their doses of vaccines more efficiently.

Over the weekend, thousands of people filed through the Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina — now serving as a mass vaccine site — run by Honeywell and other local businesses that have partnered with the state.

And on Monday, Google pledged $150 million to “promote vaccine education and equitable distribution” and to make it easier for … Read the rest

Miles de estadounidenses están muriendo a causa de covid-19, pero los esfuerzos para aumentar la producción de vacunas que potencialmente salvan vidas están en un callejón sin salida.

Moderna y Pfizer-BioNTech, los fabricantes de las dos vacunas disponibles hasta el momento, están operando al máximo, bajo una enorme presión por expandir la producción o colaborar con otras farmacéuticas para establecer líneas de ensamblaje adicionales.

Esta presión crece a medida que las nuevas cepas del virus amenazan con poner al país ante una ola pandémica más letal.

El presidente Joe Biden ha dicho que planea invocar la Ley de Producción de Defensa, una norma de la era de la Guerra Fría, para proporcionar más vacunas a millones de estadounidenses.

Los defensores de los consumidores, que habían pedido a Donald Trump que usara esta ley de manera más agresiva como presidente, ahora le piden a Biden que haga lo mismo.

    Dr. Murray Gillies, General Manager of Digital Cognitive Dx Venture, Philips

The field of neurology is at an inflection point. With a growing aging population, neurologists are facing an increasing number of patients needing care, and the pent-up demand for services due to COVID-19 only exacerbates this issue. The pressure on neurologists is enormous, with surveys indicating excessive stress caused by inefficient workflow and mounting paperwork 1,2. It is becoming increasingly clear that the traditional analog neurological exam and referral system is overwhelmed, and that long waiting times are becoming the norm, impeding prompt care delivery3,4.  

For these patients, every moment counts when it comes to diagnosing and developing a treatment plan to address the often-irreversible effects of neurological disease. Neurologists need to be equipped with modern tools that provide the right data at the right time, and … Read the rest

Cuando los hospitales de todo el país luchan contra la nueva ola de la pandemia, no son camas ni ventiladores lo que escasean. Son las personas que cuidan de los enfermos.

Pero existe mano de obra altamente calificada de médicos, enfermeras y otros trabajadores de salud, con formación en el extranjero, que no se aprovecha debido a las dificultades para la obtención de licencias y credenciales.

Según el Migrant Policy Institute de Washington D.C., unos 165,000 inmigrantes formados en el extranjero, que ya están en los Estados Unidos, tienen títulos en campos relacionados con la salud, pero están desempleados o subempleados en medio de la crisis.

Muchos de estos trabajadores cuentan con una enorme experiencia en epidemias, como el SARS, el Ébola o el VIH, en otros países, pero deben permanecer al margen de la pandemia de covid.

La pandemia pone de manifiesto las barreras para la concesión de licencias … Read the rest

Activistas antivacunas difunden falsas teorías de que las dosis de covid son letales

Los grupos antivacunas están explotando el sufrimiento y la muerte de las personas que se enferman después de recibir la vacuna contra covid, lo que amenaza con socavar la campaña de vacunación más grande en la historia de los Estados Unidos.

En algunos casos, están inventando historias de muertes que nunca ocurrieron.

“Esto es exactamente lo que hacen los grupos antivacunas”, dijo el doctor Peter Hotez, especialista en enfermedades infecciosas y autor de “Preventing the Next Pandemic: Vaccine Diplomacy in a Time of Anti-Science”.

Los grupos antivacunas han afirmado falsamente durante décadas que las vacunas infantiles causan autismo, tejiendo fantásticas teorías de conspiración que involucran al gobierno, las grandes empresas y los medios de comunicación.

Ahora, los mismos grupos culpan a las vacunas de problemas médicos que estos pacientes ya tienen, incluso cuando está claro que la edad o las condiciones de salud subyacentes son las responsables, … Read the rest

There Are Three Kinds of Primary Care, Not to Be Confused With Each Other

No Comments
| Global Health, Health And Fitness, Health News, Healthcare, Healthcare Insurance, Healthcare Partner, Human Health, Men's Health, Mental Health, News, Women's Health

By HANS DUVEFELT

Primary care doctors, the way things are organized in this country, perform three kinds of services. If we don’t recognize very clearly just how fundamentally different they are, we risk becoming overwhelmed, burned out, inefficient and ineffective. And, if we think about it, should we really be the ones doing all three?

SICK CARE

Historically, people called the doctor when they were sick. That service has, at least in this country, become more or less viewed as a nuisance in primary care offices. We keep a few slots open for sick people, in part because the Patient Centered Medical Home recognition process requires us to. But our clinics may worry that those slots go unfilled and lead to lost revenue.

Instead, sick people scatter toward emergency rooms with crowding, high overhead and liability driven testing excesses or to freestanding walk-in clinics that only sometimes are integrated with … Read the rest

After a Decade of Lobbying, ALS Patients Gain Faster Access to Disability Payments

Anita Baron first noticed something was wrong in August 2018, when she began to drool. Her dentist chalked it up to a problem with her jaw. Then her speech became slurred. She managed to keep her company, which offers financing to small businesses, going, but work became increasingly difficult as her speech worsened. Finally, nine months, four neurologists and countless tests later, Baron, now 66, got a diagnosis: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

ALS, often called Lou Gehrig’s disease after the New York Yankees first baseman who died of it in 1941, destroys motor neurons, causing people to lose control of their limbs, their speech and, ultimately, their ability to breathe. It’s usually fatal in two to five years.

People with ALS often must quit their jobs and sometimes their spouses do, too, to provide care, leaving families in financial distress. A decade-long campaign by advocates highlighting this predicament notched a … Read the rest

Con la llegada del invierno y el brote de coronavirus en pleno apogeo en el país, la industria de los restaurantes, que espera pérdidas de $235 mil millones en 2020, se aferra a las opciones al aire libre incluso durante los gélidos meses de invierno.

Carpas, toldos, invernaderos, hasta iglús y todo tipo de estructuras parcialmente abiertas han aparecido en restaurantes de todo el país.

Los propietarios recurren a estas opciones como un salvavidas para ayudar a llenar algunas mesas, y tener al menos la posibilidad de ofrecer una experiencia gastronómica más segura.

“Estamos tratando de hacer todo lo posible para ampliar la temporada de comidas al aire libre durante el mayor tiempo posible”, dijo Mike Whatley, de la Asociación Nacional de Restaurantes.

Tiempos nefastos han obligado a la industria a encontrar formas de sobrevivir. Whatley dijo que más de 100,000 restaurantes están “completamente cerrados”.
