  • COVID-19: a Weekly Health Care Update from Washington April 13-17, 2020
    COVID-19: A Weekly Health Care Update from Washington April 13-17, 2020 IN BRIEF What Happened This Week: Negotiators failed to reach consensus on a proposal to provide additional support for small businesses this week (hospital funding was one of the major sticking points, although negotiations are progressing). Meanwhile, at the White House, President Trump and members of the Coronavirus Task Force unveiled the details of a new phased approach to “reopen” the nation’s the economy yesterday and instructed state governors to take the lead. What to Expect in the Weeks and Months Ahead: Expect lawmakers to continue negotiating a path forward for additional small business support; expect lawmakers to continue working remotely on additional measures tied to the pandemic; and expect the Trump Administration to continue providing clarity and guidance on the distribution of funds and implementation of other major provisions in the first three COVID-19 bills. DEEP DIVE President Trump Unveils “Guidelines for Opening Up America Again”; Instructs State Governors to Take the Lead on a Phased Reopening of the Economy President Trump and members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force unveiled the details of a new phased “reopening” of the nation’s economy using a “deliberate, data-driven approach.” The Administration leaves much of the decision-making to the states but instructs them to open up gradually after benchmarks on new cases, testing, and hospital resources are met. As far as timing goes, Coronavirus Task Force Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said there is no set schedule for any of the guideline’s three phases.

    COVID-19 Response – Weekly Wrap-up APRIL 24, 2020 – 2:00 PM CONGRESS COVID news… Congress passed, and the President signed, the Paycheck Protection Program and Healthcare Enhancement Act, which increases the funding levels for programs that were expanded or authorized under the CARES Act, as well as some additional provisions. A link to the VNF Alert on the measure is here. Additionally, the House passed, along party lines, a resolution establishing an investigative oversight committee that will oversee the implementation of the CARES Act and the associated economic recovery in the post-COVID-19 landscape. Democrats released proposed changes to House rules that would allow Members of Congress to vote by proxy for the first time in U.S. history, but the proposal was quickly sidelined after objections mounted from Republicans, who were not consulted on the proposed changes. Visit our COVID-19 Resource Center Lawmakers will now turn to further recovery and stimulus measures. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other Democrats are calling for swift action legislation to provide aid to state and local governments, a potential second round of stimulus checks to citizens, funding for expanded health care coverage for recently laid-off workers, COVID-related expansions to Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules, money for mail-in voting in the November elections and additional funding to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and other Republicans have called for discussions on any future bill to occur only when lawmakers return to Washington, which currently is slated for the week of May 4.

  • Introduction
    Timeline - Covad-19 Virus and related events. There are five sections to this document. The timeline is the main section, but the others are also in timeline order providing supporting information. 1. Timeline of notable events. 2. Other related links. 3. Reported statistics and studies. 4. Comparisons with other medical events a. Comparisons with the 1918 Flu b. Comparisons with the 2009 H1N1 pandemic c. Comparisons with the 2018-2019 Flu Season CDC data 5. Comments and observations. Introduction The Wuhan/Chinese/Covid19 virus event is a fast moving and daily confusing combination of sound bites, often shared to make the speaker look better. This timeline is an attempt to keep the events in order, and to shed some comparative light on all the data being shared. The 1918 Influenza pandemic killed an estimated 675,000 people in the United States for a mortality rate of 636/100,000. As of Aug 25, 2021, the Wuhan Covid-19 virus has reportedly involved in the death of 628.579 people in the United States for a mortality rate of 191/100,000. The 1918 event therefore was 3 (times) times worse at 636/100,000 that this illness. Of note is the Covid-19 death numbers are likely artificially larger than actual for two reasons. First, Congress paid a 20% bounty for including a Covid-19 any diagnosis, and second on March 24, 2020 the CDC directed this “COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death”.

    Medical Association Update | September 25, 2020 Fri, Sep 25, 2020 at 4:15 PM Ivey awards $35 million from CARES Act for health care, emergency response providers Since the state received $1.8 billion from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) passed by Congress, the Medical Association has been working with the Governor's administration to allocate funds to physicians and other health care providers, who have served on the front lines during this pandemic. In response to our advocacy and recommendations, Governor Kay Ivey has allocated $35 million from Alabama’s federal coronavirus relief money to set up a grant program to help physicians, dentists, clinics, ambulance services, and other health care and emergency response providers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. “Like many professions, Alabama physicians have been severely impacted by the pandemic but have continued to provide care to Alabama citizens throughout the crisis. In fact, a recent COVID-19 impact survey revealed that more than 70% of Alabama physicians have experienced a severe financial impact on their practice, causing a disruption in their business operations, and limiting access to care,” Executive Director Mark Jackson said. “We applaud Governor Ivey for making these funds available and believe that they will be critical to ensuring that physicians can continue to provide services to those who are in need of medical care.” Coronavirus Relief Fund Information Provider Grant Program Overview and Eligibility Frequently Asked Questions COVID-19 Relief Grant Program Website Health care and emergency response providers can apply for grants of up $15,000 on a first-come- first serve basis.

  • Dr. Rick Bright, One of the Nation's Leading Experts in Pandemic
    THIRD ADDENDUM TO THE COMPLAINT OF PROHIBITED PERSONNEL PRACTICE AND OTHER PROHIBITED ACTIVITY BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SUBMITTED BY DR. RICK BRIGHT I. Introduction Dr. Rick Bright, one of the nation’s leading experts in pandemic preparedness and response, and an internationally recognized expert in the fields of immunology, therapeutic intervention, and vaccine and diagnostic development, was abruptly removed from his position as Director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”) and transferred to a limited position at the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) in retaliation for his whistleblowing activity under 5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(8)(A). Specifically, and as detailed in his initial Complaint of Prohibited Personnel Practice filed with the Office of Special Counsel (“OSC”) on May 5, 2020, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, and other HHS political leaders engaged in an overtly hostile and career-derailing campaign of retaliation against Dr. Bright because he raised concerns about the Trump administration’s chaotic and reckless response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shortly after cases of COVID-19 were identified in the United States, Dr. Bright sounded the alarm about the shortage of critical supplies, such as masks, respirators, swabs, and syringes that were necessary to combat COVID-19. In response, HHS political leadership leveled baseless criticisms against him and sidelined him because of his insistence that the Trump administration address these shortages and invest in vaccine development as well. Dr. Bright continued to speak out about the inevitable devastation that would be wrought by this virus at a time President Trump and his administration were intentionally lying to the American people about the serious threat posed by COVID-19 to the public health and safety.1 Dr.
