Harvey Weinstein was hospitalized this week yet again after contracting COVID and developing double pneumonia, a representative for the disgraced Hollywood mogul told NBC News Thursday. In addition to the maladies he recently contracted, Weinstein, 72, is also being treated for “conditions that he is still afflicted with on a daily basis such as diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, fluid on his heart and lungs, and various other conditions,” his prison consultant Craig Rothfeld told the network. He is currently being treated in the Bellevue Hospital prison ward in New York City. Weinstein was found guilty of rape in both New York and Los Angeles—though the New York conviction was overturned on appeal. He is set to be retried this fall and may even face additional charges, prosecutors said, because new accusers have since come forward to testify. He is still imprisoned on a 16-year bid for the Los Angeles offenses.

4. Prison hospitals are a death sentance

Moral judgements aside. Prison hospitals are pretty much 1950s care standards. Sure, they have all the modern tools and drugs, they just dont prescribe them.

Its pretty much just life saving, paleative levels of care. Little long term outlook considered.

5. "prison consultant"?

Wow sounds like a great new service. Wonder how many clients are assigned to each consultant?

8. If you're over 60, you can get a second vaccine without waiting for the updated vaccine.

Wife and I got a second vaccine just this month after getting one in October last year.
