B.C.’s top doctor says more than 55 health-care workers have now been infected with the novel coronavirus, as the province confirmed 42 new cases and one new death.
There are now a total of 659 cases confirmed in B.C. and 14 deaths.
The latest fatality is the 11th to be linked to North Vancouver’s Lynn Valley Care Centre.
Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Wednesday she only had data on infected health-care workers who are connected to outbreak clusters at seniors’ facilities and to Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver.
“Most of the other health-care workers who have tested positive were infected in the community,” she said.

“Blinking also helps the oily meibum and water tears mix together to form an emulsion called tear film. If you go for too long without blinking, the emulsion falls apart – oil and water don’t like to mix – and your cornea could become exposed to air. At best that’s uncomfortable – at worst, the chronic deterioration of the tear film could lead to a condition known as “dry eye” or, more technically, keratoconjunctivitis sicca.”

“Normally, you blink debris away during the day – and the older you are, the more you fight eye junk. Adults blink at a rate of about 20 per minute; babies only do it about twice per minute.”
The Structure and Assembly of Secreted Mucins
http://www.jbc.org/content/274/45/31751.full
“Mucins are major glycoprotein components of the mucous that coats the surfaces of cells lining the respiratory, digestive, and urogenital tracts, and in some amphibia, the skin. They function to protect epithelial cells from infection, dehydration, and physical or chemical injury, as well as to aid the passage of materials through a tract.”

The bill doesn’t know what problem it’s trying to solve.

Republicans in the House have finally released a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare: the American Health Care Act. The GOP healthcare bill keeps some of the most popular parts of Obamacare, like letting young adults stay on their parents’ health insurance until age 26 and requiring insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions.
But the Republican bill gets rid of the key element that made Obamacare work: the individual mandate. Now that people aren’t required to have insurance, healthy people could leave insurance pools en masse, leaving sick people who are more expensive to cover.
Hypocrisy is a minor sin in politics, but still, it is remarkable how much of it there is to be found in this legislation. A core Republican complaint when Obamacare was passed was that the law delayed many of its provisions in order to reduce public outcry and manipulate the CBO’s score. The GOP bill is similarly aggressive with such tricks, delaying changes to the Medicaid expansion until 2020 and pushing Obamacare’s tax on expensive insurance plans out until 2025.
Because Republicans aren’t even trying to win Democratic votes, they’re stuck designing a bill that can wiggle through the budget reconciliation process (another thing they complained about Democrats doing). That means they can’t make major changes to insurance markets like repealing Obamacare’s essential benefit standards or allowing insurance to be sold across state lines. That last part is particularly striking, given that it was one of President Trump’s five demands in his speech last week. I’ve always been skeptical about the savings Republicans could wrest by changing those regulations, but now they can’t get those savings at all — which means sacrificing a key part of their theory of cost control.
This bill has a lot of problems, and more will come clear as experts study its language, the Congressional Budget Office release its estimates, and industry players make themselves heard. But the biggest problem this bill has is that it’s not clear why it exists. What does it make better? What is it even trying to achieve? Democrats wanted to cover more people and reduce long-term costs, and they had an argument for how their bill did both. As far as I can tell, Republicans have neither. At best, you can say this bill makes every obvious health care metric a bit worse, but at least it cuts taxes on rich people? Is that really a winning argument in American politics?
In reality, what I think we’re seeing here is Republicans trying desperately to come up with something that would allow them to repeal and replace Obamacare. This is a compromise of a compromise of a compromise aimed at fulfilling that promise. But “repeal and replace” is a political slogan, not a policy goal. This is a lot of political pain to endure for a bill that won’t improve many peoples’ lives, but will badly hurt millions.

Carson Block’s Muddy Waters Research announced Wednesday it has taken a short position in eHealth Inc., which owns a digital health insurance exchange.
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. surpassed 400,000 on Wednesday, according to figures provided by NBC, with 12,864 fatalities nationwide.
The world’s largest economy has recorded by far the most COVID-19 infections of any country, with the total now almost five times that of China — where the virus was first identified in December.
The U.S. confirmed an additional 169 cases in Missouri on Wednesday, data provided by NBC showed, taking the nationwide number of infections to 400,081.
On April 1, the number of coronavirus infections in the U.S. surpassed 200,000 for the first time, meaning the country has doubled its case count in just one week.
NBC’s count is slightly higher than that of Johns Hopkins University, which counted 399,929 cases as of Wednesday morning.
