Covid 19 report

The report in billy boys post CONFIRMS it came from CHINA

 

[aveatry]

It varied but some of the issues included not being sterile. Which is kind of the first basic hurdle.

That one is a red herring because the kit for Covid does not have to be sterile.

You've misread the information.
It was first detected in China.

The first meteorite was found in Japan, but it didn't originate from Japan.

The Covid swap test kit doesn't have to be sterile?

If you're referring to gowns, masks, etc, it would be nonsensical to have a pile of sterile PPE and another pile of non-sterile PPE.
That would be a cross-infection accident waiting to happen.

Most of which came from China.

Like the virus itself.

…and Trump merch’ - or is that what you meant in your second sentence?

Yes PPE does need to be sterile.

Even if you don't believe in COVID then the people in hospital are still there because they're ill, those germs cannot be passed around to other patients or to doctors.

The sterility of PPE does nothing for patient-patient transfer.

Sure, but it can be sterilised with radiation High dose Xrays is used.

Much cheaper and quicker than binning the stuff.

Unless the PPE is changed after each mediperson - patient interaction.

Hell yes it does. If it ain't sterile then you don't use it. That affects p-p-transfer.

YOu on your Trolley again??
Oh so's the big willy.

Re-cycled PPE?

 

[morqthana]

Unless the PPE is changed after each mediperson - patient interaction.

As soon as it's been used in one mediperson - patient interaction it's no longer sterile, and for that reason it's changed. The risks to the next patient stem from its previous use, not from its status before that use.

Can you run that past me again?

So a health worker dons PPE, and it gets contaminated by Patient A. If the health worker then goes on to Patient B without changing the PPE. how would it being sterile before it was originally put on protect Patient B from transfer from A?

Do you actually want to discuss and debate things in an intelligent manner?

I can fully understand that in poorly staffed medical facilities during real large emergencies, when the risk to the patient(s) in delay of treatment is riskier than a patient to patient transfer of infections, etc
Isn't the normal practice to always, especially in dealing with highly infectious scenarios, to always change the PPE after each medi to patient interaction before seeing the next patient?
