![]() ![]() So far at least 1,600 people have been fully vaccinated at the Pui Tak Center. “How you address equity differs from community to community.” “They’re going to insist on their way of addressing equity, but it completely overlooks our needs,” Mah said. Mah said she “begged” the city for vaccines. It’s painstaking work, too, that involves calling people on the waitlist sometimes late at night to confirm their appointments in the days ahead.īecause there isn’t a steady supply of vaccines to Pui Tak, the appointments happen whenever doses are available. It’s a lot of fun because we are helping, and also to bless the community.” And then we continue to call other people. “Some say they already take the vaccine somewhere. “We have been calling over 2,000 people already,” Lee said next to a table where people checked in to receive a vaccination. The list is pretty long.ĭuring a recent vaccination clinic, Wu’s assistant Karen Lee was armed with a tablet and a separate packet of paper to track the number of people vaccinated and doses administered that day. People only can get on the list if they can read Chinese, with the idea that younger, English-speaking members of the community could sign up elsewhere. There’s somewhat of a secret waiting list to get a shot. Now Wu runs large vaccination clinics there with vaccines from Prism Health Lab. So without a steady supply of vaccines, community leaders said they had to step up to open vaccination sites for residents closer to home. “Our biggest concern was seniors who live by themselves.” “People are really going to struggle with getting vaccinated, and we found that to be really true,” Wu said. They stressed that many Chinese-speaking elderly residents wouldn’t consider leaving the area to get vaccinated in a parking lot just outside the United Center sports arena, where there’s a large vaccination site. It’s where they’re most comfortable, several community leaders said. For many Chinatown residents who speak only Chinese, their neighborhood is their world. Mah adds that many Chinatown residents have low literacy even in Chinese. “A lot of people just don’t have the English skills to navigate, and some people don’t have the technology skills to figure things out,” said David Wu, executive director of the Pui Tak Center, a staple in the heart of Chinatown. Many Chinatown residents, particularly the elderly, face language and technology barriers in getting access to the vaccine. Mercy Hospital in Bronzeville has been the go-to for many Chinatown residents over the years, and that hospital is on life support as it goes between owners. Mah describes the neighborhood as a health care desert, with fewer places to get medical care than in other parts of the city. The Chicago Department of Public Health did not provide comment for this story. “Chinatown has fallen through the cracks,” said Illinois Rep. They say to see how vulnerable their neighborhood is, look beyond the metrics. Many people in Chinatown have been frustrated by the lack of vaccine access in their community. Where doses are shipped isn’t necessarily where people get their shots. That’s compared to at least 79,000 doses in 60611, where tony Streeterville is located and home to prominent Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and at least 37,000 in Gage Park on the Southwest Side. The entire 60616 ZIP code, which includes Chinatown, received just over 4,000 doses during the first three months of the vaccine rollout ending in mid-March, according to a WBEZ analysis of vaccine distribution data obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The Chicago Department of Public Health has concentrated vaccination efforts in several of these communities. West Englewood, New City, Gage Park and North Lawndale are among two dozen communities labeled “high” on the vulnerability index. The broader Armour Square community, which includes Chinatown, is considered “low” on the city’s so-called COVID-19 Community Vulnerability Index.īlack and Latino Chicagoans have been disproportionately affected by the virus. They take into account how many people have gotten sick or died from the coronavirus, how many senior citizens live there and how many people can’t work from home.įrom the city’s metrics, Chinatown isn’t as vulnerable as other parts of Chicago. “Chinatown has fallen through the cracks”Ĭhicago public health officials use a variety of metrics to determine how vulnerable each community in the city is to COVID-19, and that helps guide them on where to send coveted vaccines. ![]() They would open vaccination sites themselves.

![]() ![]() Now that we’ve got everything unboxed, we’ll start to put the hardware together. Let’s get on with setting this whole kit up. ![]() In short, two bottles, a towel, a trainer wheel, a bike protector, and a trainer mat. Once I made the goods all look pretty, here’s what was inside. The Girl was hoping it might have a bunny inside. I wasn’t really quite sure what was in it, given the first one had all the components. Now in addition to the usual box, the Tacx folks also sent over this secondary box. All I can think of is – ‘Is that a BlackTrack in your living room, or are you just happy to see me?’.īefore we start assembling, here’s all the Genius components unboxed in a tidy little pile: Wait a section until we really unfurl the whole thing. It may look all small and compact, but it’s like a slinky and expands. ![]() To the left of the trainer is the steering system. Inside that package below the trainer are bolts and more pieces I’ll dive into in a minute. Now we’re down to the trainer, which I’ve pulled off to the side for now. And the unit is 100-240v, so it can be used on either system with the help of a 99 center converter plug if you happen to move (or buy from overseas). They sent me a euro-power cable, but US versions have the US one. This is used to provide the ANT+ USB adapter a bit more range. ![]() Increasing excitement, we’ve got the USB extension cable. Starting with the least exciting – the manual: Let’s start digging through all the pieces.

Also, because the technology world constantly changes, I try and go back and update these reviews as new features and functionality are added – or if bugs are fixed. But, if I’ve missed something or if you spot something that doesn’t quite jive – just let me know and I’ll be happy to get it all sorted out. I write these reviews because I’m inherently a curious person with a technology background (my day job), and thus I try and be as complete as I can. Lastly, at the end of the day keep in mind I’m just like any other regular triathlete out there. Sorta like hiking in wilderness trails – leave only footprints. Because I want to be transparent about my reviews, once my evaluation period with the Tacx Genius + software has elapsed, I send it back to them in the Netherlands. In doing so, I’ve got a pretty good grasp on how the unit works, as well as all the details inside and out. But is the unit worth the price tag? And what else has changed within the Tacx software suite since I reviewed the software component last year about this time with the lower priced Tacx Bushido unit? Well, I set out to find out.

In a study from 2015, researchers found that about 38 percent of people with COPD had wheezing as a symptom. Wheezing that becomes much more pronounced very quickly or stays constant (doesn’t come and go) should get medical attention right away, according to the Merck Manual. If your wheezing gets worse, it could be a sign of an exacerbation. ![]() ![]() ![]() The narrowing of the airway can cause wheezing, a high-pitched whistling sound that happens as you breathe. “In more severe cases it might require an emergency room visit or hospitalization,” she says. If the increase in shortness of breath is relatively mild, your symptoms could be managed by your doctor by increasing medication or adding medications, says McCormack. If climbing the stairs or walking up a slight incline has become harder for you, that could indicate your condition is deteriorating, says Dr. Wise, MD, the director of research in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore. “Worsening shortness of breath is a cardinal signal that your COPD is getting more severe,” says Robert A. The following are signs that may indicate that a person’s COPD is getting worse. That’s part of why it’s so important to take steps to try to minimize the risk of exacerbations, she adds. “COPD exacerbations is one of the most important predictors of the progression of COPD, and a history of exacerbations is one of the most important predictors of future exacerbations,” says McCormack. In a review published in 2017, the authors noted that severe exacerbations are associated with higher mortality, and the risk increases with each new exacerbation. “They can also be triggered by exposures, like if someone has an increased exposure to pollution or secondhand smoke,” she says. “Exacerbations are often triggered by respiratory infections, which could be viral or bacterial,” says Dr. RELATED: What Your Loved Ones Need to Know About COPD Exacerbations can happen fast, within a matter of hours or days, according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS). If you take steps to quit smoking, exercise, and improve your diet, you can increase your life expectancy and have a better quality of life.Īvoiding exacerbations, which is when symptoms flare up or get worse, is a major part of slowing the progression of COPD, says Meredith McCormack, MD, an associate professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore. Managing Symptoms, Exacerbations, and ProgressionĮven though there is no cure for COPD, there are treatments and lifestyle approaches to improve symptoms. A person with severe COPD can get short of breath even while walking slowly or getting out of a chair. Symptoms are impossible to ignore in severe COPD. In early COPD, a person may have chronic cough and phlegm but may not be aware they have reduced lung function they sometimes dismiss their symptoms as a normal part of aging. A person’s particular symptoms and their severity can be signs that the condition is worsening.Īccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), almost 16 million people in America have COPD, a classification that includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.ĬOPD can be early, moderate, severe, or very severe depending on your symptoms, the number of exacerbations you’ve had, and your lung function. Frequent coughing or wheezing, excess mucus and shortness of breath are hallmark symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, it turns out the fishing gun went off by accident when the door slammed.

(She had, according to Dawn Wells, also been lied to by the producers who had told her that the show was about a movie star stranded on a desert island and that Ginger was the central character.) Ironically, with the death of Dawn "Mary Ann" Wells on December 30, 2020, Tina Louise is the last surviving member of the cast.Ī big-screen adaptation is currently trapped in Development Hell after an initial release date of March 30, 2012. The actress that portrayed Ginger (the movie star), Tina Louise, refused to do either the cartoons or the reunion movies because she considered the show "silly" and the concept ridiculous while also resenting that she'd ended up being typecast. Some of the cast reportedly disliked the show. In the strangest twist, though, 2004 saw Gilligan's Island become the first (and maybe only) Sitcom ever revived as a Reality Show, with the broadcast of The Real Gilligan's Island on TBS.a show which combined the original series with Survivor in a bizarre blend. Two cartoon series, a stage musical, and a docudrama about the show’s creation were also produced. Three reunion TV movies followed, first rescuing, then re-stranding, then re-rescuing the castaways, who then turned the island into a resort.

With its timelessness and endless amount of reruns, the series firmly cemented itself and its beloved characters a place in pop culture history. It lasted for three seasons on CBS (1964–67), then became a perennial favorite in daily syndication. note CBS president James Aubrey and his vice president of programming, Michael Dann, might have been responsible, as they believed audiences needed "bosoms, broads and fun". He chose his representatives carefully, claiming later that "Anybody who is watching can identify with someone." How this ostensibly academic and rather intriguing concept turned into the show that actually aired is anyone's guess. Inspired by Robinson Crusoe, Schwartz intended to create a microcosm of American society by stranding representative members of different subcultures and seeing how they interact. Schwartz was an academic with degrees in zoology and psychology, and originally intended for the program to be a meaningful examination of American life. Gilligan's Island was created in 1963 by veteran TV writer/producer Sherwood Schwartz (who would later make a career out of The Brady Bunch). ![]() Maybe if we truly want to succeed in life, we need to kill our own inner Gilligan."Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, The greatest part of the metaphor, though, is that if the others ever wanted to get off the island, what they needed to do was kill Gilligan - and that each of us has our own inner Gilligan, that sweet-natured, well-meaning part of us that always sabotages us from getting what we really want. Gilligan was supposed to be Sloth.īut a closer viewing indicates that the island may well have been Hell - and the red-clad Gilligan the devil who kept them on his island. Years after the show ended, its creator, Sherwood Schwartz, admitted that each of the characters represented one of the seven deadly sins Pride (the Professor), Anger (Skipper), Lust, (Ginger), and the rest. Each week Gilligan would thwart their escape usually with the best of intentions. Each week they would devise a way off the island.

But climate inaction is vastly more expensive. Climate action requires significant financial investments by governments and businesses. We can pay the bill now, or pay dearly in the future.Early warning systems for disasters, for instance, save lives and property, and can deliver benefits up to 10 times the initial cost. Adaptation will be required everywhere, but must be prioritized now for the most vulnerable people with the fewest resources to cope with climate hazards. ![]() It covers current impacts and those likely in the future. Adapting to climate consequences protects people, homes, businesses, livelihoods, infrastructure and natural ecosystems.Fossil fuel production must decline by roughly 6 per cent per year between 20. While a growing coalition of countries is committing to net zero emissions by 2050, about half of emissions cuts must be in place by 2030 to keep warming below 1.5☌. Switching energy systems from fossil fuels to renewables like solar will reduce the emissions driving climate change.Three broad categories of action are: cut emissions, adapt to climate impacts and finance required adjustments. We also have global agreements to guide progress, such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. These can deliver economic benefits while improving our lives and protecting the environment. Climate change is a huge challenge, but we already know many solutions.Everyone must take climate action, but people and countries creating more of the problem have a greater responsibility to act first. The 10 largest emitters contribute 68 per cent. The 100 least-emitting countries generate 3 per cent of total emissions. The emissions that cause climate change come from every part of the world and affect everyone, but some countries produce much more than others.Yet the current path of carbon dioxide emissions could increase global temperature by as much as 4.4☌ by the end of the century. In a 2018 report, thousands of scientists and government reviewers agreed that limiting global temperature rise to no more than 1.5☌ would help us avoid the worst climate impacts and maintain a livable climate. ![]()
