“These investigations affirm the appropriateness of the infection control practices recommended by the CDC. A fluid-impervious gown, gloves, a surgical mask, and a face shield are adequate to protect health care personnel from direct contact with blood or other body fluids during routine care. N95 masks or personal respirators are only necessary during aerosol-generating procedures.
Exceeding these recommendations may paradoxically increase risk. Introducing new and unfamiliar forms of personal protective equipment could lead to self-contamination during removal of such gear. Requiring HazMat suits and respirators will probably decrease the frequency of provider–patient contacts, inhibit providers’ ability to examine patients, and curtail the use of diagnostic tests.”
Hospitals can’t win this one. They just can’t. lawyers on both sides of this will sue them into non existence. But only the for profit ones. the rest will be indemnified one way or another.
and this may be one of the ‘unexpected and certainly unplanned’ side effects of keeping the visa mills open. destruction of for profit hospitals. I’m sure the left has never considered this. not. at. all.
Bingo.
This is going to expose just how fragile the point of care HC system is in the US.
Why is it where it’s at?
A: Illegal immigration. Period. Full stop. I’m seeing the strain it puts on the public school system here in W. WA, and we are 60 miles from Canada. You can’t get much further away from the southern border, and its killing schools.
I can’t IMAGINE what it is doing to hospitals.
