The United States is experiencing an adolescent mental health crisis. Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the Surgeon General are stressing the urgent need to address the mental health needs of children and teens. The pandemic focused attention on this issue as young people dealt with isolation, the uncertainty of lockdown and grief over the death of loved ones. But while the pandemic exacerbated the problem, it has been building for years. We speak with Judith Warner, a journalist and author, to find out how we got to this point, and what can be done to help kids now. Warner's most recent piece, "We Have Essentially Turned a Blind Eye to Our Own Children for Decades," appears in The Washington Post Magazine.This episode deals with suicide.

The corporate media lied that the riots across America during the summer of 2020 essentially were "fiery, but mostly peaceful." Americans, however, watched in horror as places such as Portland, Seattle, and Kenosha, Wisconsin, burned while radical leftists swarmed the streets.Through it all, though, one journalist braved the mobs.Townhall's Julio Rosas spent much of 2020 moving around the country, capturing footage of rioters as they looted stores, fought police, and, of course, burned buildings.Rosas is the author of the new book "Fiery (But Mostly Peaceful): The 2020 Riots and the Gaslighting of America."Rosas joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss his book and reveal the truth that the media won't tell you about the riots. We also cover these stories:The Labor Department reports that inflation dipped to 8.3% from 8.5% in March, as measured by the the consumer price index, but that Americans likely will continue to see high inflation.Pro-abortion activists make their way to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home in San Francisco, accusing Democrats of being “complicit” in the likely repeal of Roe v. Wade.Hong Kong's national security police arrest Cardinal Joseph Zen and several others on charges of colluding with foreign forces to undermine China's national security.New data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that over 107,000 Americans died last year of opioid overdoses, a record high.

Nearly 1 million people in the United States have died of covid-19, and the toll is growing among vaccinated people as the virus gets harder and harder to dodge. Today on Post Reports, what we can learn from looking at vaccinated deaths.Read more:According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vaccinated people made up a shocking 42 percent of covid deaths in January and February during the peak of the omicron surge, compared with 23 percent during delta's surge in September. Vaccines are still highly effective at preventing illness and death. But as more and more highly contagious variants arise, it becomes harder for elderly people, the immunocompromised and those whose vaccines are wearing off to avoid infection.Health reporter Fenit Nirappil wanted to dispel the myth that only unvaccinated people are dying of covid — and he wanted to put names and faces to some of the hundreds of thousands of people who died this past winter. Today on Post Reports, a look at what happened during the winter surge, and what we can learn from it as the virus continues to mutate.

One of the best consistent sources of real estate leads is your centers of influence and past client list. On today's podcast, Tim and Julie Harris will help you to create and expand your centers of influence and past client list so that it will become a consistent incredibly profitable source of REFERRAL FEE FREE real estate leads. Remember, it is incredibly important that you understand the most powerful form of contacting someone is PROACTIVELY.  Proactive communication:  - Video call. - A phone call. - Face to face.  Passive Communication: - SMS/ Text. - Email. - Drip campaigns. - Watch only videos. etc.  Tip: Most people will deprioritize passive digital communication in favor of face-to-face or direct calls. Think about your own behavior, you chat with someone at the gym you remember that conversation....our brains are hard-wired towards person to person, face to face, voice to voice communication.  Tip: You can reinforce proactive communication with passive but you can't replace proactive communication with passive.  Step #1: Be of service Inflation, interest rates, war, and fear-filled media seem to be everywhere. Most people don't know how to emotionally filter fear from their mindsets. Your mission is to contact your centers of influence and past with energy and enthusiasm and give them great news about the value of their home.  Hint: Using this script will result in a very high level of appreciation directed towards you. Your call to them sharing with them the value of their home could be the best news they have heard in a long time. Mentally and emotionally prepare yourself for their appreciation and not rejection.  "Hi, this is Tim Harris with EXP Realty....so listen, I am getting a ton of folks expressing concerns, and fears about the economy and housing market. I am calling all of my friends, family...people I know, love and care for....to give them the real bottom-line update of their home's value so they don't have to worry....I have this month's update for you now!.....oh, and the best part is that it's all great news!" Next, give them an update. You can simply give them the average year-over-year appreciation rate. "Mr. Owner, in the last 12 months homes in your market have increased by 20%! WOW, congratulations. Would you like me to do a personalized drill down on the value of your home in this market, I can email it to you later today..." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hour 1 -  Good Tuesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: Today is the first Honor Flight of the Ozarks since October of 2019. If you have time, head to the airport around 8:30 p.m. tonight to welcome home the Veterans! House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Monday lauded protesters expressing "righteous anger" in the wake of a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that shows the court may be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade. The Senate passed legislation Monday to beef up security for Supreme Court justices, ensuring they and their families are protected as the court deliberates overturning Roe v. Wade. Pro-life pregnancy centers across the nation are reporting attacks. Nick shares an opinion piece from T.W. Shannon on the abortion industry and how they target minorities. Shannon is an American banker and politician who served as a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives. He was Oklahoma's first African-American speaker of the House.

2010 does not seem that long ago. It's hard to believe we're at Monitor Mondays broadcast No. 500 since then.But then again, let's look at all we've seen change. Medicare started out with a one-midnight expectation for inpatient reimbursement. Then the Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs) moved in, showed us all the errors of our ways, and demonstrated that unrestrained denials could overwhelm the appeal system.Then we got the two-midnight rule, which, oddly enough, seemed to make sense. It carved off a bunch of inpatient stays, but also curtailed denials. Then we saw the phase out of the inpatient-only list. But wait – the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reversed course and decided not only to keep the inpatient-only list, but to add stuff back on to it. The one constant since 2010, via more than 500 live broadcasts,has been Monitor Mondays, bringing cutting-edge analysis of regulatory changes and providing reliable information for you to meet payor challenges. We're looking forward to another 500 episodes. And we're sure the payors will help us with new material.Additional segments to be included in this landmark broadcast will include the following:The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Practus, will report the latest news about auditors, including the Recovery Auditors (RAs).Monday Focus: Mary Beth Pace, vice president of care management at Trinity Health, will report on outpatient status for those who have undergone surgery.Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Bryon, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.Monday Rounds: Dr. Andrew Markiewitz, substituting for Dr. Ronald Hirsch, will make his Monday Rounds.Legislative Update: Former CMS official Matthew Albright, now chief legislative affairs officer for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.

Dr. Prather opens the show with a COVID-19 update. Then, we talk about how Knees pain is the #2 cause of chronic pain, with 30% of all American adults suffering from Knee pain during their lives. In this episode, you'll discover:—What is happening with the COVID-19 lockdown in China and how their government is able to track its citizens with government-issued cell phones. —How the data has shown the COVID lockdowns to be an unsuccessful strategy because the virus is "here to stay". —The prediction made by Bill Gates that the worst COVID surge yet is coming. And how he wants national sovereignty to be removed so that the World Health Organization can make all the decisions during a pandemic. —The stunning news that the Centers for Disease Control tracked Americans through our phones to check compliance with their COVID lockdown orders. —How obesity contributes to Knee problems, not only because of the extra weight on your joints, but because obesity interferes with your body's ability to regenerate Knee cartilage.—The two types of Knee alignments, including the one that 60% of all Olympic Sprinters have. Plus, how this alignment that provides an athletic advantage when you are younger will wear out more quickly as you age.—The botanical medicines, nutritionals, and homeopathic medicines that can actually regenerate Knee cartilage, which Dr. Prather sees on the X-Rays in his office on a regular basis.—Why Dr. Prather says NSAID's (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are effective in the short term for Knee pain, but cause long-term problems because they cause degeneration of Knee cartilage as well as damage to the liver, kidneys, and heart.—How there were about a million Knee replacements in America in 2020, with a growing number expected in future years. And why Dr. Prather says Knee replacements are not an answer because it means "you automatically have a disability for the rest of your life".—Why Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and Physical Therapy represent a better way of getting the Knees in proper alignment for the healing and regeneration of the Knee.www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

This Podcast Is Episode Number 470, And It's About How To Balance Profit Centers And Cost Centers In Your Construction Company Success in operating a profitable construction business is all about maintaining the proper balance of control over both The Profit Centers and The Cost Centers. If either one gets too powerful and is allowed to run your construction company, it can cause more damage than good.   The definition of a Non-Profit Construction Company is one that tries to fix its weaknesses and continues making the same mistakes repeatedly, expecting a different result and continues to struggle until the owner lays down and dies from over-work and exhaustion.   A Highly Profitable Construction Company builds on its strengths and core competencies and continues innovating, growing, and responding to changes in its environment.    It's Not Rocket Science; It's A Lot Harder Than That! Profit Centers Most construction companies earn most of their profits from less than four different project types or Profit Centers. Residential Remodel Contractors Have Four Main Profit Centers: Kitchen Remodels Bath Remodels Additions Whole House Remodels Commercial Tenant Improvement Contractors Have Three Main Profit Centers: Commercial Service Work New Installation Whole Space Remodel Service And Repair Contractors Have Three Main Profit Centers: Service Work New Installation Remove And Replace New House Builders Have Two Main Profit Centers: Spec Homes Custom Homes Every construction company has strengths and weaknesses, which means there are particular types of projects they consistently earn lots of money. And there are some types of projects that they always lose lots of money doing. The answer is found in that gold mine called QuickBooks Job Costing Reports and QuickBooks Job Profitability Reports. These reports provide you with a treasure map to see which profit centers your particular construction company makes the most money in and which ones you lose the most. Do more of the ones that make you money and fewer of the ones you lose money on. I will give you a hint; you may not like it, you may stop reading and leave angry; In most of the research we have done for our construction clients, we have discovered the concept of Leveling applies not just to whom you spend time with but to who refers jobs to you! Cost Centers They all share the same three Cost Centers, Marketing - Accounting - Production (MAP) Marketing Is The Number One Cost Center One current client or customer is worth more than all of your prospects combined. All contractors need existing customers and new ones to survive and thrive. The 80-20 Rule for contractors can guide your marketing dollars where they will do the most good. Understand and document your target market demographic and psychographic profile. Focus 100% of your marketing on your target market and forget everyone else. Identify the top 20% of your customers that generally generate 80% of your net profit.  Identify the top 20% of the goods or services you sell 80% of your revenue. A good rule of thumb to grow sales is to budget 5% to 10% of gross sales on marketing. Anything less is like winking at a pretty girl without her knowing you are doing it. Relying 100% on word of mouth and referrals keeps contractors poor and broke. Accounting Is The Number Two Cost Center Successful, highly paid contractors understand and use reliable QuickBooks Financial Reports and Job Costing Reports to know: Which jobs they are equipped to do and make a handsome profit on because it is one of their primary to bid on and pursue Usually, contractors who understand this concept earn the bulk of the profits in the construction industry. For what it is worth, "There is a Hall of Justice; however, there is no Hall of Fairness." Production is the number three Cost Center This is where all your hard work pays off. At this point, you have some basic operation manuals in place for your field and office employees. It is the document that answers the same questions you will be asked hundreds of times. It is the Wikipedia of your company. "This is Who We Are, and How Things Are Done Here." Now you have a road map to success, and all you have left is to assemble the tools, equipment, and employees, set up your trucks or vans, and work! The reason is simple. A contractor focusing on finding and optimizing profit centers will have a much more difficult job than someone overseeing a division that is not classified as a profit center. A profit center manager will have to increase sales by generating additional revenue and decreasing costs (as a percentage of income), much like an entrepreneur would have to do in their own independent business. On the other hand, a cost center manager only has to worry about staying within budget. (A cost center is a department that is important to the overall success of a company, but its contribution to revenues and profits can be only incrementally measured. A cost center is an area that typically runs red ink in upfront losses but will result in a much richer company if managed correctly; think of the research division of a major pharmaceutical corporation that spends billions developing new drug treatments without selling a single pill for years). If the pipeline were to dry up and the cost center shut down, the company would soon find a shadow of its former self. Yet, it is a cost center and not a profit center that is likely to find itself at the top of a list for recessionary layoffs. Many businesses are tempted to treat all divisions as cost centers instead of profit centers. This can be a horrible mistake because if managers are rewarded simply for cutting costs, they will not make sufficient reinvestment in a business to grow profitably in the future. Hence, you eventually end up with outdated equipment, facilities, and staff and your customers are likely to go elsewhere because their needs aren't being met. On the other hand, a profit center approach blends the need for current cash with the desire to grow earnings in the future, making a manager accountable for the long-term health of a business. The legendary management consultant and thinker Peter Drucker created the term profit center in the 1940s. He subsequently asserted that the term profit center is a misnomer that leads managers to focus on the wrong overall priorities, insisting that everything is a cost center. By focusing only on the absolute profit of a division, factors such as return on capital, opportunity cost, efficient use of resources, and relative returns are ignored to the detriment of the stockholder or owner. Final thoughts A holistic Business Process Management Strategy (BPM) is the only way to optimize profit and cost centers.

In a world where companies like Meta, Google, and Apple collect and benefit from vast amounts of data about you, what would it be like if you were in control of your data instead? Specifically, what would it be like if you were in control of your health data? And what if you had it all in one easy to access place?CEO and Co-Founder Ardy Arianpour came on the podcast to tell Dave Anderson how and why Seqster is giving people that kind of control over their own health data. Adry says patient-centric data interoperability is healthcare's biggest challenge and it's his number one mission.Seqster is a technology company working to break down the silos within the world of healthcare and make health data interoperability easy and universal.Making Health Data InteroperableData is the gold of the twenty-first century. But interoperability of data is the moonshot. It's not enough to collect the data, it also needs to be accessible and usable, and it turns out interoperability is hard to do. Ardy says that Seqster is the first company to make the idea work.Dave asks why interoperability is so hard to do. It's because lab data is different from wearable data, which is different from data from your doctor, which is different from data from your dentist, and so on. All your data needs to be extracted and keyed in such a way it can be cross referenced.But putting it all together isn't enough. You must also think about the patient's experience. “How do you connect the dots quickly and how do you visualize this data?"The data needs to be easy for both patients and providers to access and read. "What are they going to do with my data?”You're already giving your doctor and other providers access to your data. But you're not really in control of it from that point on. This year, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services interoperability rules stated that every single patient must have access to their healthcare data. Seqster wants to put the patient in control.Dave follows up by asking what is being done with all this data? Who is using it and how?It's mostly clinical and decentralized trials, Ardy says. By using these data sets, both the cost and the time required to complete trials and develop new pharmaceuticals and therapies are vastly reduced.  Imagine what happens when you can collect a million patients' data in an hour versus 18 months and then look at them all in one place? Ardy says we get more accurate information which results in better and faster development of new medicines and vaccines. Breaking down the silos that contain health data allows for a bigger picture of health for all of us.With enough data, from enough patients, and with the right funding, Ardy thinks cancer is a problem we can solve. Dave wonders if health data could be like being an organ donor. Could we mark a box on a form and agree to donate our health data to science after our deaths?Listen to this episode to learn more about: The problems around siloed health data and his solutionHow to address privacy concerns around healthcare dataArdy's personal journey that brought him to this fieldWhy Big Pharma isn't evilBill Gates's advice to Ardy on getting Seqster to scaleThe decade of biological revolutionThe business model to make this work

Funk is responsible for 32 Army schools organized under 10 Centers of Excellence that recruit, train, and educate more than 750,000 Soldiers and service members annually. Gen. Funk was born at Fort Hood and graduated from Fort Knox High School. He was commissioned an Armor Officer through ROTC upon graduation from Montana State University. Gen. Funk has commanded at every level, Company through Corps; his combat and operational experience includes six deployments in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Inherent Resolve. Gen. Funk holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in speech communications, from Montana State University, and a Master of Science degree in administration, from Central Michigan University. He is a graduate of the Armor Basic Officer Leaders and Advanced Courses, the Command and General Staff College, and completed his Senior Service College as a fellow at the Institute of Advanced Technology, University of Texas at Austin. In today’s interview, Gen. Funk addresses how the Army is modernizing doctrine given the Operational Environment, what are the challenges facing our all-volunteer force, what the Army can observe and learn from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and how it is adapting to the changing character of warfare. The following bullet points highlight some of the key insights from our interview: The all-volunteer force is at risk.Demographic trends show that the population of individuals qualified for recruitment is diminishing. Finding the “Secret Sauce” that motivates people to serve and stay in the Army will be vital to ensuring the Nation’s Senior Service remains an effective and capable force. Professionalizing the U.S. military gave the United States a quarter century of global dominance. At its core, it prioritized the Soldier – a mission that should still be emphasized today. Though the character of war is changing, it remains, in essence, a human endeavor. Today, prioritizing the Soldier must be done holistically – nutrition, sleep, and education will all contribute to mission success. Education is the best tool to prepare our Soldiers, and should be prioritized at every echelon.Strong doctrine can help form successful training programs and modernize the Soldier to out-think our adversary. Such education should also teach ‘disciplined disobedience,’ enabling Soldier-Innovators to adapt creatively to ensure mission success. Soldiers and their families will continue to be targets of disinformation.As a result, it is essential to promote trust in the chain of command, and to ensure&nb

The pandemic posed new challenges for patients and providers during pregnancy and childbirth.  Pregnant people are at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, especially if they are unvaccinated. More than two years after the start of the pandemic, health care professionals have protocols in place to address COVID transmission risks and to treat parents and newborns who have COVID. In Minnesota and across the U.S., though, there are historic health problems that have yet to be solved. Over the past couple of years, the pandemic has highlighted racial health disparities and large gaps in access to care. And there are new questions about legal rights to reproductive health care, which could complicate and worsen those gaps. Data from the Minnesota Department of Health, the Centers for Disease Control, and the National Institutes of Health indicates that Black women are more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women, and to experience medical conditions like preeclampsia. Black women are more likely to experience preterm labor and birth, which can lead to medical complications for newborns. On Wednesday, MPR News host Angela Davis spoke with health care experts about how the pandemic has shaped pregnancy and childbirth. They also discussed new research in racial health disparities, how racism contributes to poorer health, and how anticipated restrictions in abortion care could affect reproductive health outcomes. Guests:  Rachel Hardeman, PhD, MPH is a tenured Associate Professor in the Division of Health Policy & Management at the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health, the Blue Cross Endowed Professor in Health and Racial Equity, and the Founding Director of the Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity. Dr. Sarah Cross is an OBGYN and assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women's Health at the University of Minnesota. She directs the Birthplace, Pregnancy Special Care Unit and the Newborn Family Care Center at M Health Fairview.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released the hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Proposed Rule for short- and long-term acute-care hospitals. The Proposed Rule not only updates the Medicare approach to Medicare-Severity DRGs (MS-DRGs) reimbursement, but also advocates for the President's executive orders addressing quality, inequities, and outcomes in healthcare.  While there are no new MS-DRGs, minimal changes to the MS-DRG algorithms, and another one-year delay to implementing a comprehensive complications and comorbidities (CCs) and major CCs (MCCs) restructuring, proposed four years ago, CMS proposes 10 new Inpatient Quality Reporting measures, such as Hospital Commitment to Health Equity, Screening for Social Drivers of Health, Screen Positive Rate for Social Drivers of Health, the Cesarean Birth Electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM), a Severe Obstetric Complications eCQM, a Hospital-Harm/Opioid-Related Adverse Events eCQM, the Global Malnutrition Composite Score eCQM, and others that certainly will have clinical documentation integrity (CDI) and ICD-10-CM/PCS coding implications.  During the next live edition of Talk-Ten-Tuesdays, James S. Kennedy, MD, president of CDIMD, will briefly outline which of these warrant the immediate attention of ICD-10-CM/PCS-oriented physicians, providers, coders, and CDI specialists, who are being asked to formulate and submit comments prior to CMS's June 17 deadline. The live broadcast will also feature these other segments:Coding Report: Laurie Johnson, senior healthcare consultant with Revenue Cycle Solutions, LLC, will report on the latest coding news. Talk Law: Knicole Emanuel, Partner with Practus, will continue with the broadcast's newest segment.  RegWatch: Stanley Nachimson, former CMS career professional-turned-well-known healthcare IT authority, will report on the latest regulatory news coming out of Washington, D.C. News Desk: John Zelem, MD, FACS, founder and CEO for Streamline Solutions Consulting, will anchor the Talk-Ten-Tuesdays News Desk. Point of View: Susan Gatehouse, a guest cohost who will be substituting for Dr. Erica Remer, will report on payor strategies that should be implemented to mitigate the already long road to payment.

2022 is already proving to be one of the most pivotal years in the history of the fight against Alzheimer's. Along with major accomplishments in areas like research and prevention, Alzheimer's patients have been caught in the crossfire of inter-agency politics between the FDA and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), which recently announced it would deny Medicare coverage for FDA-approved Alzheimer's treatments unless patients participate in highly restrictive clinical trials.George Vradenburg, Co-Founder and Chairman of UsAgainstAlzheimer's and Russ Paulsen, Chief Operating Officer, join host, Meryl Comer, to review the Alzheimer's Advocacy scorecard. They discuss successes that include the creation of ARPA-H (Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health), increased funding for research, and the addition of a prevention goal in the National Alzheimer's Plan - major successes for patients that are clouded by the recent ruling issued by CMS. Listen to the conversation as they talk about this unprecedented decision and its impact on not only Alzheimer's patients but other patient groups, like cancer, that benefit from the FDA's Accelerated Approval Program.You can help reduce stigma and misconceptions about dementia and empower others to speak freely and live life to the fullest.

In this episode, I speak with Alexis Katsis, an infectious disease expert working freelance as a Relationship Manager. From an early age, Alexis wanted to be a scientist, and in college studied biology, earning a BS in biotechnology from Rutgers University. After working for two years, she decided to get a MS in public health microbiology to access jobs having a greater impact. Afterwards, she worked at the Centers for Disease Control, but again returned to school, this time to earn a PhD in microbiology and immunology so she could take on positions with greater responsibility. This led to jobs at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, where, among other things, she led teams investing in projects to improve child health, and to ensure the quality of laboratory data from clinical trials for HIV/AIDS and COVID19. She has recently begun working freelance to have more time to pursue creative endeavors, such as hosting a podcast called LuxeSci, which explores the science of luxury. We'll hear about all these experiences and of course find out about what her job is like.

Children under 5 still can't get vaccinated, but Vermont is opening up and relaxing mask guidelines.

It is estimated that anywhere from 575,000 to 677,000 bloodstream infections occur annually in North America, with approximately 40,000 of those directly linked to patient mortality in the United States, making bloodstream infections the 11th most common cause of death in the US according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The detection of bloodstream infections and subsequent identification of the etiologic agent or agents is an essential role played by all clinical microbiology laboratories, day-in and day-out for routine patient care. So, today, we are going to dive into a recently published study in JCM, looking at organism-specific bloodstream infection prevalence rates and their individual mortality risks relative to patients with either negative blood cultures and in those for whom blood cultures were not ordered. Guests: - Dr. Nick Daneman - senior author on the manuscript, is a Clinical Scientists in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre at the University of Toronto, and a Adjunct Physician at Public Health Ontario. - Dr. Kevin Brown is a Scientist at Public Health Ontario and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto This episode of Editors in Conversation is brought to you by the Journal of Clinical Microbiology and hosted by JCM Editor in Chief, Alex McAdam and Dr. Elli Theel.

In July of 2021, Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee signed legislation allowing for a two-year harm reduction center pilot program in the state. This means Rhode Island will be among the first in the nation to license and establish harm reduction centers, which are places where people can go to use drugs safely.  What will a harm reduction center in Rhode Island look like? How effective have harm reduction centers been at preventing overdose deaths in other countries?  Learn more about Rhode Island's pilot program from guest experts: Dr. Liz Samuels, an emergency and addiction medicine physician, researcher at the Brown University Department of Emergency Medicine and the School of Epidemiology at the Brown School of Public Health, and the consulting assistant medical director for the Overdose Prevention Program at the Rhode Island Department of Health; Sarah Beister, policy and evaluation lead for RIDOH's Overdose Prevention Program; and Lauren Conkey, community program lead for RIDOH's Overdose Prevention Program. Download this week's episode and visit PreventOverdoseRI.org to learn more about harm reduction initiatives in Rhode Island. 

An estimated 3 out of 4 U.S. children and more than half of all adults have been infected with COVID-19, according to a report released on Tuesday, April 26 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But a Mayo Clinic expert says more information is needed to get the complete picture. "This was a convenient sample. In other words, people who were having blood drawn for other reasons were tested,"explains Dr. Gregory Poland, head of Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group. "That does not reflect the full population or differences by race or geographic location. And the detection of antibodies does not necessarily mean that you are protected from infection. So, there's a lot of nuance around understanding that headline." The research study looked at more than 200,000 blood samples and found that signs of past infection rose dramatically during the omicron surge between December 2021 and February.Other COVID-19 news this week includes a push to make treatments more available, the rising incidence of new omicron subvariants, and changes in mask recommendations. Dr. Poland cautions that COVID-19 is still present and encourages wearing a mask in crowded spaces, even when there isn't a requirement to do so."If only one of us is wearing a mask and the other one isn't and is infected, you still have pretty high protection — but not the same level of protection as if both of us wearing one," says Dr. Poland. "So, it's it is not futile to be the only one wearing a mask. In fact, I think it sends a message."On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Poland discusses the latest COVID-19 news and answers listener questions.

On April 18, a federal judge in Florida struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's mask requirement on airplanes, trains, buses, and other public transportation. In a 59-page opinion, Judge Mizelle stated that the CDC had exceeded its legal authority under relevant federal law, including the 1944 Public Health Services Act, and failed to follow administrative procedure rules. The decision further vacated the mask mandate on a nationwide basis. The U.S. Department of Justice plans to appeal the decision.  Michael Dorf of Cornell Law School and Adam White of the American Enterprise Institute join us for a discussion about the legal arguments on both sides of the decision, and a broader debate about nationwide injunctions—when a single district court judge blocks a law or government regulation on a national scale. Jeffrey Rosen moderates.  Questions or comments about the show?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's mask mandate on planes, trains and buses ended earlier this month, and it came down, in part, to a judge's interpretation of the word "sanitation." U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle voided the mask requirement, citing a 1944 law that gives the CDC power to stop the spread of communicable diseases through measures like inspection, fumigation, disinfection and sanitation.Lawrence Gostin is a professor of public health law at Georgetown University. He explains what the 1944 Public Health Service Act did and why he thinks the judge's interpretation could have an impact on the United States' ability to respond to future health crises.

While the death cult of the Left began with aborting unborn babies, it has now moved on to killing adults who they believe unworthy of life. Today, we are joined by Scott Schara, who lost his 19-year-old daughter Grace to what can only be described as premeditated murder in a Wisconsin hospital. He discusses how his daughter only had moderate COVID but was given a concoction of opioids, sedatives, and anti-anxiety medicines for no reason – all in a time frame that can kill anyone. His story is a glimpse into what likely occurred with thousands of COVID patients and is now occurring with other patients. Scott also believes the fact that his daughter had Down syndrome played a significant role in the hospital's decision to mark her for death. You can find more about her story at OurAmazingGrace.net.

For years now, pain has been the leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting more than 50 million Americans annually. This isn't the kind of pain you endure when you trip onto the pavement, scab, bruise and heal. It's the persistent gnawing, aching, throbbing that happens over a long period of time. This is chronic pain. One of the most powerful and effective forms of treatment for pain is the safe use of opioids. Opioids in combination with other therapies have allowed those hindered by pain to live full and vibrant lives, but the stigma around opioid use was exacerbated in 2016 due to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, that both seriously discouraged doctors from prescribing these drugs and also over attributed the prescription of them as the cause of addiction and overdose. While opioids are not a one-size fits all pain reliever, the rollback on prescriptions has disproportionately impacted people with disabilities, people of color, women, and incarcerated folks. Kate Nicholson, founder of the National Pain Advocacy Center, believes now is the time to course-correct. Pain relief, in her view, is a civil right.
