Hmm... I take it there is a loophole in which since Chloe didn't complain, Victoria can't quite act, only fire Mia. As for Mia herself I take it she will go out the back, buying a bit of time. Or will there be one of those weird coincidences where a Little's rights group attacks the Hotel and in the confusion of things, Mia gets off free and all evidence is wiped with Victoria potentially taken out, such that Mia gets away with things for the moment. Cue the rest of the story of Claire trying to find a way to prove fraud or such to nullify the adoption or even better finding evidence of a far bigger conspiracy where ELNAP has agents in CAMOL and is working from within to discredit it and get it declared a terrorist organization.

Rooting for Alexa to win. Time for the bad girl to win. She has all the cards and Zoe is walking into her trap and she can look at Sean and pin everything on Zoe with Sean unwittingly sealing her fate at the meeting.

Hmm, Spalvodi didn't decide to adopt her himself. That would have completed his victory. He has a cute "Daughter," to perform ballet, give head pats, and humiliate by changing her diapers, bathing her, and keeping her in pink outfits and diaper covers.

Well mittens and wedges again till she realizes escape is impossible.

Hmm, if Zoe takes him, her family will likely expect her to breastfeed him exclusively and take his teeth. Sean may even go with Zoe willingly and after the first breastfeeding session, may not even care his teeth get taken. Depending on how her maternal instincts go, Zoe might even change him to a girl. The other option if Zoe wants to go the heroic route, is dig up dirt on Alexa, use Joseph to spring her trap and then escape back to our dimension with Sean and live in exile with him before Joseph realizes he got played. Or it turns into a 3 way pileup, and Joseph wins and dumps the now useless Sean off at a Littles Mill to be a breeder the rest of his life.

I root for Alexa, as there is no way to prove she slipped anything as there were multiple ways for Sean to have been drugged and Zoe would have to admit to a crime with no way to prove it to a jury and risk shaming her family. Bad guys win, its the lesson of Lord of War.

The Independent Labs in question were University Labs doing Flu Studies since an uptick of Viral Pneumonia in Seattle in November 2019. Private Labs run by Pharmacy Companies were developing the flawed CDC test when the WHO test was available, and have not caught a single case using their test kits. University Labs are leading the way here. Insurance Companies by the way are incentivised not to pay out claims, as they are for-profit corporations. As for Regulations, a lot of them are necessary to ensure safety, but some are deliberately designed to muck up the system and reward certain companies. Its a matter of competent leadership, proper funding, and a willingness to take public health seriously with a single payer system removed from the market place shenanigans and with all political factions understanding that they are as protected as the least healthy and least insured person in the country. Yeah, Boris Johnson... ?‍♂️ He does realize he is basically sentencing his Sovereign Queen to death with that plan??? And the Queen is apparently ok with this seeing as she has not so far dismissed him... As an EMT, I have nothing but compassion for your Healthcare Workers. Their political leadership utterly dropped the ball and they paid the price. Seattle Area Medical Personnel likewise paid a high price and so did the Wuhan Medical Community. I am blessed to have a Medical Director who took one look at China's actions and took immediate steps to ensure we did not get infected and were prepared. To all reading this. Most Governments have dropped or are dropping the ball on this with few exceptions (Turkey, South Korea, Singapore, and Vietnam). You'll know if your country takes it seriously if it lands on it like a ton of bricks, doing testing, quarantines, isolations, lockdowns, and being transparent. But the worst is yet to come.

Its airborne. We're finding it in the ventilation system. Its also waterborne and we're finding it in fecal matter and toilets. Its surviving on even COPPER surfaces for 9 days. Each day we have to thoroughly decontaminate our rigs after each patient. This has been known since January and we are independently confirming what Chinese Doctors, who got pass the firewalls, South Koreans, and Japanese have already revealed. And contrary to what you hear, its the 20-29 year olds being infected in the greatest numbers and they make up half the ICU admits and testing them and catching them when they are asymptomatic is necessary to containing this virus. Its why you see CDC Personnel in Hazmat Suits with independent air supply and why we are using negative pressure rooms where possible. I'm on the frontlines and we're losing the fight due to the complete incompetence of our Political Leadership. And as much as I love freedom, its time to start forcing people into their homes and locking them in till the virus burns itself out. And it needs to happen now or our entire health system will crash with disastrous results. We can't even reduce the spread with masks as we have a mask shortage across the US. Even though a surgical mask can't stop infections, it can reduce the viral load per infection, giving the body's immune system more time to identify the virus and develop antibodies before it gets slammed by a massive viral load. A complete mess and thoroughly preventable by competent leadership.

While on the subject of SARS-COV-II: Its been a f&^%%*(( nightmare since 2/1/20 for my Ambulance Company. Thanks to Ebola scare, we had M50 masks as the SARS-COV-II virus is airborne. We had our first known case from then, but CDC refused our medical director's diagnosis and spirited him off to Detroit. Since then we have seen multiple people testing negative for the flu and being denied testing for SARS-COV-II. Some of them are even dead now. And now some of our Hospitals have staff showing symptoms. Folks this is why we landed on every new virus like a ton of bricks prior to Trump. They weren't over-reactions, but vital steps to avoid exponential explosions of cases that overwhelm our hospitals' ability to cope. We test everyone, trace the contacts and isolate them and kill the transmissions before they become community spreaded. If we don't, progression looks like this: Case Case Case Cluster Cluster Exponential Growth We're in the last phase and due to the utter dropping of the ball by Trump, we are looking at 30,000,000 Americans minimum requiring hospitalization of whom 4.5 million will need a stay in the ICU. The US has ~1,000,000 Hospital Beds and 190,000 ICU beds. And this virus has taken out entire Hospital Staffs and Ambulance Companies before they even knew what hit them. We're looking at 8 to 60 million deaths in the US from direct and indirect effects of the SARS-COV-II virus. Don't count on an election this year in the US or a functioning Government or US Military as the virus has ripped through them though they are keeping it downplayed. Exacerbating the problem is the US's 40 year experiment in Free Market Capitalism and outsourcing started by Reagan when he ditched the US's Hamiltonian Economic System that was Mercantilist, Industrialist, and had the Doctrine of High Wages as its guiding light. So now we don't have enough masks as they are produced in China, not enough medicines as they are produced in China, etc. Survive, that is all you can do. We already made contingencies to abandon Hospitals that become too dangerous to work in. We don't want to do that, but at a certain point you got to say that you done all you could, but the war is lost and its time to save the medical personnel for the uninfected survivors. Damn. It didn't have to be this way and both the Democrats and Republicans are to blame.

She attempted to bite the Nurse. Depending on her viewpoints, that just may necessitate teeth removal. After all they don't want to send out a biter for adoption. Especially for a mother who will be breastfeeding. Of course, they need to examine her oral health as well and her hearing/vision.

A fitting end.

"Stumbles in from Jury Duty" Well here is hoping for another Grandpa Moment. Time to see his moves. And before you ask, it was not guilty, the Prosecutor couldn't prove her case beyond a reasonable doubt and I had to let the guy walk.

Given all the witnesses and cameras, Nimitz just signed his death warrant if he doesn't flee real fast.

Hmm, if the university has weapons detectors, the kives might be a problem unless Grandpa clears them with the university. Then again using them even in self-defense might be enough to get Stacy expelled because zero-tolerance laws. Though the DD doesn't seem to have our problems with school shootings to have zero tolerance laws.

If toxic shock is suspected but arrest hasn't started, Fred would have had Aamoxicillin administered as an antibiotic, treated the hypotension with Midodrine, with Atrophine on standby to deal with the low heart rate. Adrenaline in this case would be counter productive. Don't know why, never asked my medical director the specifics and I don't feel like shelling out 100k to get a medical license when a Paramedic License is good enough for me. That said, bagging alone is not sufficient, if Fred had a crash bag, he would have had a King Tube and used it to protect Bella's airway in case she threw up, which as a street medic always happened when I did resuscitations. That said, good chapter. But with time of the essence, Stacy really shouldn't have bothered to check the coding and just let it go as is and fix nanite issues later.
