Double gloved, full face mask over the n95.

I think they are doing well.

And if you are in podunk Vermont, in a 50 bed hospital on the Canadian border...the ICU has like six beds.

You cannot possibly believe they are going to have a negative pressure isolation room do you? Most ERs with isolation rooms just have them on the other side of the ED—and most of the time they are occupied by psych patients.

This is my experience.

If they really needed to be isolated in the rural areas they were air transported to Dartmouth Hitchcock.

If you go to larger cities larger hospitals they are more used to dealing with the nasty stuff. But that places are going to be filled up with time of year.

So. This might be de facto rural genocide.

Cities and rich communities can afford the isolation rooms and bunny suits...poor communities and states not so much.

btw, face mask over the n95 is insufficient. Needs to be sealed over the eyes too.

HIV is a BL3, this is a BL4.
