Study: hospital outbreaks of #COVID-19 soared partly because wrong staff given PPE (personal protective equipment). https://news.yahoo.com/hospital-covid-outbreaks-soared-part-165211316.html [news yahoo com]

Says patients on respirators in ICUs release fewer aerosols than less severely ill patients who talk and move about.

1. Hospital Covid outbreaks soared in part because wrong staff given PPE
  
  Hospital Covid outbreaks soared in part because the wrong staff were given full personal protective equipment (PPE), a new study suggests. An international team of researchers has established that less severely ill patients are far more likely to infect people around them than those critical enough to require oxygen. The findings appear to contradict official guidelines, which ration the best PPE to doctors and nurses treating patients who require medical oxygen, on the basis that doing so requires the performance of “aerosol-generating procedures”. Often working in intensive care units, these staff are given eye protection, a tight fitting particle respirator mask, long-sleeved fluid-repellent gowns and gloves. Those working with less ill Covid patients had to go without eye protection, were given only a standard surgical mask, as well as a disposable apron and gloves. However, the new findings show that the typical activities of less severely ill Covid patients – breathing, talking, shouting, coughing and exercising – actually generated 100 times more aerosol particles than those receiving oxygen. The study found that oxygen therapies – officially considered the most high-risk for infection – actually reduced the amount of aerosols. It was carried out after figures emerged showing that staff working on wards who wear only standard surgical masks have around two to three times higher rates of infection than those working in ICU. The study, conducted in two UK hospitals and in Australia, comes a year after NHS staff reported significant shortages of PPE as the first wave built to its peak. Nurses at one trust had to resort to using bin liners when aprons ran out.

The bad thing about fines for state agencies is that they'll just take it out of taxpayers' wallets. Perhaps #Cal-OSHA lacks the ability to pursue criminal penalties, but #Cal-DOJ doesn't.

A little more than a year ago, I had never heard of #coronavirus.

Memory is a wonderful thing, but it tends to fill in missing details, such that I seem to recall hearing about the outbreak in middle or late December of 2019 ... but being that reports about the outbreak only hit the news in the last 1-2 days of 2019 (or maybe even the first days of 2020), that cannot be true.
