Suicide Loss: The Double-Edged Sword of Blame and Shame
After spending over a decade listening to the pain of those who have lost loved ones to suicide, I have felt, vicariously, the two sides of that double-edged sword thousands of times. Blame and shame are two of the words that describe what makes suicide loss so different. They are connected and can come from words someone says to the bereaved or — worse — from inside a survivor’s own heart following a death which is still, in most places, a societal taboo.
What these words carry forward are speech and actions that make the aftermath of this kind of loss infinitely more difficult. Ironically, both are undeser...

We Are in Store for the Greatest Change to Our Health Care System Since the Affordable Care Act. Here ’ s Why.
By LOGAN CHO
The COVID-19 pandemic has been harsher and lasted longer than many of us would have predicted. While our media has been inundated with updates on death tolls and economic depression, there has been little conversation of healthcare beyond the era of COVID-19. The first question that we ask when we hear of deaths: was it COVID? We have grown to expect the primary cause of death to be of coronavirus. But the impact of COVID-19 will extend beyond the individual, effecting fundamental and long-lasting change to our healthcare system.
By this point, it is clear that the public health ramifications are rea...

It Seems The SA Government Has A Problem With Available Expertise In Digital Health Procurement.
This appeared last week: Years go by and deadly chemo blunder fix still a work on paper Brad Crouch, Health Reporter, The Advertiser June 7, 2020 9:30pm SA Health has finally moved to issue a new tender for a fail-safe chemotherapy dosing system as years after recommendations for swift action following the deadly underdosing blunder were handed down. Underdosing victim Andrew Knox said he was caught in an “endless groundhog day” nightmare of promises to fix the system and noted, even with the latest move, a new system would not be in place until next year. As revealed by The Advertiser last October, plans for a new bac...

Police Spending Soars at the Federal Level
Chris EdwardsSome protestors are calling for defunding the police in the wake of George Floyd ’s death and other incidents of police misconduct. However, just 16 percent of Americans favor cutting police budgets,notes Emily Ekins. More people favor police department reforms such as better training and increasedaccountability.That said, police budgets should be examined, particularly since policing costs varywidely across the country. Floridians, for example, should be asking why their police services cost twice as much per capita as police services in Indiana.There should also be more focus on federal police spending. Th...

The Lack of Persuasion as a Failure Against COVID-19
By RAFAEL FONSECA, MD
Reopening safely out of the current pandemic ought to be done via persuasion, not coercion.
It has been more than five months since the world first learned about COVID-19. Models predicted a sharp increase in the number of cases, and a seemingly high likelihood the pandemic would overwhelm our hospitals. These models were often inaccurate, and we have all come to learn about the imprecision of epidemiological prediction. Nevertheless, the infection is far worse than anyone initially accepted – becoming a staple of our generation. Fearing uncountable deaths and the possible need ...

What ’s a diagnosis about? COVID-19 and beyond
By MICHEL ACCAD
Last month marked the 400th anniversary of the birth of John Graunt, commonly regarded as the father of epidemiology. His major published work, Natural and Political Observations Made upon the Bills of Mortality, called attention to the death statistics published weekly in London beginning in the late 16th century. Graunt was skeptical of how causes of death were ascribed, especially in times of plagues. Evidently, 400 years of scientific advances have done little to lessen his doubts!
A few days ago, Fox News reported that Colorado governor Jared Polis had “pushed back against recen...

Detection dogs
There was an interview on BBC Breakfast last week with a detection dog, or, strictly, with someone fromMedical Detection Dogs, accompanied by a detection dog. Dogs have been used to " sniff out " malaria and Parkinson ' s, and there are investigations into whether they can be trained to detect COVID-19.There are details of that trial, which involves the University of Durham, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Medical Detection Dogs,on this Government webpage. So what is in the literature? A PubMed search for detection dog finds some papers, but also a lot about detecting thi...

Two Things Nearly Everyone Gets Wrong About the Michael Flynn Case
Clark NeilyI ' ve been reading,writing, and tweeting about the Michael Flynn prosecution quite a bit lately, and I ' ve been getting significant feedback from people who strongly dislike Flynn and think he ' s about to get away with committing a serious crime due to sinister political machinations behind the scenes. As explained in this post, I take no strong position on Flynn ' s character or whether he did or did not commit any crimes —most Americans have, so he ' d be in good company. But I think many in the " lock him up " crowd are making two fundamental errors that are in urgent need of correction. Thos...

Covid-19 Reuters Q & A with William Haseltine
I live-tweeted a fascinating and perhaps rather depressing meeting with William Haseltine via a Reuters Newsmaker Broadcast. His talk was upbeat but the message does not offer a positive outlook unless we can collaborate internationally to identify, trace, and isolate and go back to early antivirals to treat people urgently. A vaccine will probably never be found, we must stay on top of this virus when we get communities under control. Moreover, we must recognise that another emergent pathogen could appear any time.
These are essentially my notes from Haseltines’s talk.
Might we ever achieve herd immunity?
There is n...

Podcast: Deconstructing Mental Health Month
It’s Mental Health Awareness Month! But what does that mean, exactly? Who are we raising awareness for? Is “mental health” the same as “mental illness?” In this Not Crazy Podcast, Gabe and Lisa ponder the meaning of this decades-old campaign and discuss the pros and cons of the movement.
What do you think? Is Mental Health Awareness Month a necessary outreach that sheds light on mental health, or is it a flimsy substitute for actual help? Tune in for an in-depth discussion that entails several different perspectives.

Are You Experiencing Quarantine Brain?
Another term is being added to the lexicon in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic: quarantine brain. It takes many forms, from confusion and fogginess to limited executive functioning. Those who fall prey to it may find themselves unable to complete tasks, manage their time and routine, and make sound decisions. This occurs even if the person has no prior history with attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Some report a lack of motivation to get out of bed, let alone engage in their daily activities. What helps them is knowing that their boss, teachers, and family are counting on them to launch...

Main Street Memories, Yet Again
George Selgin(I penned this summary version of my writings on the Fed ’s Great‐Depression era attempts at Main Street lending in the hope that a respectable newspaper would publish it. Alas, those newspapers turned it down, as did some more dubious outlets.As my piece ’s content seems as pertinent than ever, and it at least has the virtue of being shorter than the others I’ve written on this topic, rather than consign it to the trash, I offer it here in the hope that someAlt ‐Mreaders may see merit in it.
