So here’s a plea.
No more ‘standard’, ‘full’ & ‘enhanced’ PPE
PPE matches the route of transmission
- contact precautions
- droplet precautions
- airborne precautions
Use of this language would cut through a lot of confusion.
1/2
COVID +ve patient
>2m away
- contact precautions
<2m away
- droplet precautions
Aerosol generating procedure
- airborne precautions

2/3
contact precautions
= gloves + apron

droplet precautions
= gloves + apron + surgical mask +/- eye protection (risk assess)

airborne precautions
= gloves + eye protection + N95:FFP3 + fluid repellent long sleeved gown

3/3 & end!

I'm seeing Twitter personalities urging readers to wear masks to protect themselves from #Covid_19. I'm sure they mean well, but how effective are masks, really?

Let's explore this topic from the perspective of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS).

/1
In my day job, I draft, among other things, OHS manuals and procedures. These include instructions to control workplace hazards, including infectious disease.

I am NOT a certified ISO / OHSAS professional, but you learn a lot from osmosis, including the hierarchy of control. /2
The hierarchy of control describes measures to control risks. In order of most to least effective, they are:

1. Elimination
2. Substitution
3. Engineering Controls
4. Administrative Controls
5. Personal Protective Equipment

There's a reason #PPE, including masks, is last. /3

Starting a rolling thread reviewing some of the literature on risks of respiratory virus transmission in the health care setting.

We must take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others.

#COVID19 #PPE #medtwitter

1/
A fair amount of the literature is from the SARS and MERS outbreaks. I think some of the lessons, especially pertaining to the unique risks to healthcare workers and PPE management, continue to apply.

2/
Data from SARS in 2003 suggested that nosocomial transmission accounted for 72% of cases in Toronto and 55% of probable cases in Taiwan.

Of the cases, 44% in Toronto and 18% in Taiwan were in healthcare workers.

okayyy... so earlier we spoke about the sea and its features, it's only right we take a leap out of this planet into the universe for a peep and its features, the Bermuda and the mystery that lies within... As it is known we have 9 planets... true or nah? Shall we?
The 9 planets have been discussed extensively by scholars, scientists, even to the length of visiting and seeing things for real, maybe not all have been visited, but to a large extent have been explored to test its properties and see how fit it is for life.
Going by the belief and mostly what most were thought, there are just 9 planets but as time advanced & tech too, it came to realization that they are probably 10 and then 11, 13, 15 etc.. Right now there are no digits put to it as it has been estimated to be over 10,000 and more

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

Y'day Trump tried to squirm out of his kiss-up to Kim by saying media misinterpreted him about Otto Warmbier. Today he uses misinterpretation again to claim "Russia-if-you're-listening" was a joke. This weaponization of ambiguity is key to #Trump's #propaganda #language. @ddale8
@ddale8 Reupping my old piece on some features of Trump's propaganda language, including strategic use of ambiguity ("misinterpreted"). It's disarming b/c he does it so brazenly. His "authenticity" is shamelessness in vernacular. Neither this nor Russia is a joke. euromaidanpress.com/2016/10/27/989…
Days after Wikileaks’ dump, Trump was impressed & wanted more. Listen to his breathy “everything” immediately before the ask—not a joke—to Russia: “how little respect…that they would hack a major party & get everything. It would be interesting to see…RUSSIA IF YOU’RE LISTENING”
