It depends where you are. In this portion of the US, the medics do bring blood whenever they respond to a call. And apparently they've been doing so for about 6 years.

How so? The case was tried before he won re-election. Had he lost, there's a decent chance he would have received actual punishment. But, given the way that SCOTUS has been ruling with respect to what the POTUS is allowed to do, there's a lower chance of this being tossed on appeal due to a lack of actual punishment associated with it. He's been convicted and "sentenced." Even if they do overturn it, it doesn't change the fact that he was convicted. Only the MAGA folks seem to be unaware of how big of a deal this is. But, somehow the stuff Hunter Biden did is a big deal.

@zzygyy It won't, it can't be removed from his record as it's a matter of public record that he was convicted, it's in the papers everywhere and people are going to remember this for basically as long as the US exists. He's been let off the hook for leading an insurrection, and this is a blot on his reputation? As far as Kangaroo court goes, this sort of fraud is a very big deal, far more so than what Hunter Biden was convicted of. But, somehow you people think that was legitimate, but this wasn't. Go figure, I guess you're only law and order folks when it's the other side being convicted.

Around here our medic one program has been carrying blood for transfusion for about 6 years. We were the first place in the world to routinely send actual ER doctors out on calls for critical care directly to patients in need of stabilizing prior to transport. So, this is probably going to spread through the US eventually, but the blood supply is rather limited, so it probably will just be select units for the time being.

And some folks are barred from giving for reasons that are no longer relevant. It's also a matter of bureaucracy.

TBH, that part of the story was a bit thin. Did she work at the museum or express a particular interest in those works of art? It still wouldn't make sense, but at least I could see the connection. If it was just about destroy random stuff, there's a lot of stuff out there that's simply easier to access for destruction.
1
They will, but having rode this as part of the studio tour, there's not a lot of room for error on the part of the driver. It's a relatively tight road and these trams are rather long.

And yet it's par for the course. Israel needs whatever flimsy rationale it can come up with to distract from their crimes against humanity. Not that Hamas is really any better, bunch of terrorists.

Yes, although in all fairness, most of Idaho isn't that far from WA where abortions are legal. A major problem in states where it is legal is people crossing the boarder to get an abortion. And those that are stuck have to go back to the old school, and super dangerous, coat hangers.

@eprom239 I think the issue there is that he's jumping from an unstable surface and far more concerned with having enough force to clear the bucket and the ground.
1
@joshuanoble5895 TBH, I'm kind of curious why they didn't send a bucket up to him rather than having him jump. He's probably already got a harness on, transferring to the fire truck would probably be safer.
1
That's why you wouldn't do that. You'd just give the blood to the ambulances that are specifically designated to stabilize patients for transport. Patients in that condition need more care anyways, so just give the folks that are trained for that the blood to do the transfusion. It takes the number of vehicles that need to be supplied from thousands to only a few hundred for a major city.

@somnuswaltz5586 Drones can still cause fires, but the risk of that is a lot lower.
1
Here in WA, we've apparently had blood for the medic one program for years. Basically ER doctors attached to the fire department that go to the scene of the accident and stabilize patients for transport to the ICU. I'd be surprised if laws don't change as the understanding of how to run this part of the program improves and changes are made to ease the blood shortages.
1
@AxePlays-hc5dj Yep, when I heard that it seemed like a particularly weird day to hold the election.
1
They wouldn't, presumably the drones can be repurposed for other things the rest of the year or sold used.
1
@RandiSchaefer-uw2su Yep, around here the medics have blood with them, but they're also in a relatively urban area. A smaller town might just designate somebody to get the unit from the hospital and start driving to meet up with the ambulance along the way. (Obviously, starting a transfusion, even if the needle is already in, is probably going to necessitate stopping for a bit)
1
@dianadialga3955 Adulthood is one of those rather tricky issues. Around here the age of adulthood ranges from 13 to 21 depending upon the specific issue. And some of it can be modified by the court in t he case of emancipated minors.
1
That will be made public eventually. I'm curious as to how this is involuntary manslaughter rather than an accident. This is why the public is generally allowed to observe court proceedings. EDIT: from what I can tell, it will depend on whether or not the professor was criminally negligent when causing the death. (Or if he caused the death at all would likely be another issue)
1
I do have to wonder if the reason for this wasn't that he had done something similar when he was younger and genuinely doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. It's unclear to me how he could deliver a guilty verdict and then reverse it during sentencing. Sentencing phases of trials only happen if the defendant is convicted.
1
Keep in mind that as long as the blood is being rotated, this shouldn't increase the need by much, if anything. The blood actually being used would be shifted from the hospital to the medics or paramedics. The blood that's not being used, would get rotated back to the hospital. It would take time to build the supply, but then you'd also have extra on hand in case of a natural disaster. The other logistical issues are a much bigger deal.

@LisaLove-m4l They is what used when the gender isn't known. And that's been the case for quite a long time prior to any of this pronoun stuff becoming a thing. It, means that it's an object.
1
@cruisinguy6024 Around here we separate the ambulances from our medic trucks. The medics are literal ICU doctors that ride around going from site to site to stabilize people for transport. I don't know if they carry any blood with them, but it would make sense for them to have some on hand as they aren't going to be going as long without needing it and they're going to be called any time there's an accident that's significant enough to have that amount of bleeding.
1
Yep, these can't be filled at any gas station and it's not likely to be able to be taken for another trailer while she's in it. That's a bunch of waiting and a bunch of witnesses. The concern I'd have is that something happens to her before he goes to fill the tank or get a new load.
1
@johnkitners9386 Around here the medics have had the blood for about 6 years. I would imagine that as the problem is better understood that more areas will require it for at least some units.
1
It's Texas, you can be sure they'll bend over backwards to make sure that he can have as many as his house can hold.
1
@FaybayandRemi Yep, they're set up to remove as much of the risk of the parents being accidentally identified as possible, to remove as much of the risk of desperate mothers killing the baby to avoid the consequences of the situation becoming known. Sad, but it definitely does happen from time to time. Pregnancies aren't always obvious until later, and sometimes it can be concealed.
1
@toh6261 You think he'll follow through on that? It requires reading literal tea leaves to guess what we're going to actually get when he takes office in a week and a half. For all we know, they'll snow him good and he'll send our own forces over there to help.
