The story has since been covered by The Sick Times, Forbes, and NBC News. It warrants renewed attention now that High national levels are being portrayed as "Moderate."

National COVlD levels would be characterized as "High" (WVAL=5.63) if the CDC did not downshift all level categories, past & present, as of Aug 14.
We labeled this an "ethics crisis" on Aug 16 & warned it would slow the public health response when levels worsened. We're here.

Sounds pretty mild
Al Pacino says he passed out with COVID in his apartment, woke up to five paramedics in his living room, and was told his pulse had stopped
"I felt I left the Earth when I passed out."
"Next thing I know, I open my eyes and there's five paramedics in my living room."
"And they were my doctors, but I couldn't recognize them from head to toe."
"But they said, my pulse had stopped."
The last thing he remembers is asking the name of the guy filling him up with fluids. Then he wakes up to two doctors in what looked like space suits, and his first thought is that it looks like a film set. Fifty years in front of cameras will do that.

Federal employees with Long COVID are reportedly facing revoked remote work accommodations, months-long delays, and repeated disability reviews.
Long COVID is recognized under federal disability law. Those protections mean little if patients can’t access them.

I’m a doctor who helps people through really hard things, and I need mental health care to cope with that.

This is possibly the reason the White House stopped posting the transcripts of Trump's remarks.
If you read them, you realize very quickly that he is out of his mind.
