@geniusmusing One thing I have come across a couple of times is that the vaccines are not expected to completely prevent infections, but instead to reduce the severity thereof. Thus, you may become infected (and maybe even pass the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus to others) despite having taken your shots.

I recently skipped a friend’s wedding reception despite being vaccinated. The reason was because there were some required tasks at work that day, but afterward, I learned that people were maskless and close together (and I only knew a few of the people). I would have been even more uncomfortable than I already am in those situations.

I admit that it does bother me a little when experts are very sure of something that they have no way of knowing. It is okay to say that we do not really know where #SARS-CoV-2 came from and thus do not know how the #COVID-19 outbreak started.

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.
