And the restrooms are less ventilated than other areas (few tiny windows). Rugrats and restrooms seem like the two weak points.
I double mask because the single n95 needs the extra pressure to kinda seal. Used to wear a full face respirator with rubber seals for work, so these n95s seem like really tenuous protection.
I’m surprised any are wearing masks at all at the boathouse.
Doctor (GP) friend and family are entering post infection and strictly following cdc recommendations, including when to exit isolation.
Another friend works at multiple hospitals in northern FL, masking only required in the covid wards.
Shameful (the last sentence.) The last thing a hospitalized patient needs is to get covid from a provider. I could accept putting on a mask when entering a patient room or otherwise interacting with patients. Much more reasonable than expecting patients to be putting on masks and taking them off or just wearing them all day. Sharing rooms is a problem without a good solution.Quote:

it's my understanding the regional nursing care center has rooms that have four beds to six beds -
( I could not imagine living like that - unless I was living in an old military barracks... )
has anyone seen anything credible about the development of an intranasal vaccine ? ??
thanks... skiJ

Most hospitals have mostly double rooms--giving everyone a single room would cut hospital capacity almost in half. A solution, hardly a good one.Quote:

My girlfriend at the time at previously been a nurse at the Royal Victoria in Montreal. The only RN for a 40 bed single room ward on the night shift. Her first job out of school.
If the issue is airborne pathogens, it seems a combination of single patient rooms and multi-patient rooms and wards like the newer ICUs I have seen ( that have multiple beds for a single Care / nursing station can be used effectively - with single patient rooms used until a diagnosis is confirmed.
This capacity would not be cut in half, but might be reduced 10% or 5% or 20% depending on circumstances --
The situation I described isn't a transitional patient care situation - many of the residents at the Center of Care will be there for the rest of their lives
( an old friend, paralyzed by meningitis has been there a decade... )
five roommates ?
no thanks...
I think there are management schemes that can decrease Some of the complications of shared rooms, without cutting capacity in half.
Good luck !
I see this opportunity returning sooner than later...

My uncle completed his residency there. He was a surgeon. I know he was there in 1985, because I visited him then (Ohio/MI game!!), but I don’t remember the span of years. He worked the clinic for the games and got us free tickets.Quote:

It sure seems like that... and they're shutting down a lot of the county free PCR test locations. But to be fair, I haven't seen a line at the one near me in well over a month. Maybe the home tests will work better with the next round??Quote:

Our area is now orange on the high transmission areas map. I was in a meeting last night, 7 people in a 10 by 10 low ceiling room, 3 masked, 4 unmasked.. I only knew two of them.. and they were the others wearing KN95 masks. I did know for certain that the other 4 were not from the area and in town on business.
They're out there. Home tests suck even when you're trying. Allergies or COVID? I'll go out if I feel good but wear the halfway good mask around others sharing air nearby.
My 79 year old mom 4x vaxxed went to Colorado the weekend before this one and caught covid with her idiot guru friends at their 'conference'. They all tested themselves day 1 then unmasked for money sucking meditation sessions. Flew home Sunday (wore N95 in plane), sick Monday, tested positive Tuesday, Paxil same day. Better by the weekend, negative on Monday and back to normal driving my 12 yo girl around to her events. My dad stayed negative. Home test everyday. Zero symptoms. Also 4x vaxxed. He is just like me. Skating free of this garbage from the start.
My dad doesn't hate people like I do and is involved in everything on every committee running around everywhere (mostly to avoid my mom I think) and his mask wearing has always been softer than mine so no explanation for why he hasn't gotten sick.
Wife comes down with sore throat Thursday. Home tests negative 2x. PCR negative Friday with University of Iowa fast PCR test. Missed two days of work. Mostly better today.
Myself still skating free from all if this shit. Even the sore throat my wife has that shows up as nothing on all the tests. Wtf?
When it strikes I will cry like a baby. Till then counting my good luck charms.
' glad folks are well, ugly-
please
don't forget - all the other bugs are still out there, And
plenty of allergens in eastern IA that can contribute to a sore throat
( I need to check for a Wildfire smoke plume like there was last year... )
...plenty of irritants, allergens, and pathogens -
' glad your family is well !

Allergens yes.Quote:
