     So. Many. EMS. Calls. All medical emergencies.

     (not sure what's going on in Ventura County the last few days).

     @BakerRL75 No idea. My son was chitchatting with a coworker yesterday about lots of people with SVT (which I see is "supraventricular tachycardia"). I have no idea why so many people would have that problem around here.

     @dank @ai6yr @BakerRL75 I recognize this. It's an interesting maneuver known to 60's enthusiasts as "the bong ripper." Patients would hit the bong, then try to stifle their coughs as they held that hit.

     "Dude! Just cough!"

     SNERK "Can't." SNERK "Doctor's orders!" SNERK SNERK

     @ai6yr Remember a while back when McNadoMD noticed an uptick in embolisms? I wondered then if a particular strain of COVID was related.

     Now I wonder if the same strain or a different one might have made those exposed within the year more likely to experience SVT.

     Bloody shame there's no comprehensive effort to test and monitor this virus's impact.
