...East, the impact is no less shocking. As the title indicates, Cockburn—along with her husband, Andrew, who co-wrote and co-produced the film—suggests that the deregulation of financial institutions turned Wall Street into a virtual casino, one that operates on stakes much higher than anything found on the Vegas strip. The film opens with the now familiar tale of unsupervised banking recklessness: banks steadily doled out an increasing number of subprime mortgages—loans made to consumers with bad credit. Many would then adjust the interest rates for select mortgages according...
...illness has been reassuring. Most people have had relatively short and uneventful courses of illness, usually lasting about 4 to 7 days. New England has had a relatively low incidence of illness compared to the rest of the country—a finding that some are attributing to our higher incidence in the spring possibly inducing some low-level immunity in our community. Older people have been similarly less affected, possibly because of their immunological “memory” of earlier exposures...
...once we had confirmed that we had documented H1N1 in our community, we proceeded to make the diagnosis of subsequent cases based on clinical features (fever, cough, headache, muscle aches). Antiviral agents—such as Tamiflu—have been reserved only for those patients who are at higher risk for complications...
