Doctors and nurses get infected in their own hospitals unfortunately.

But there is one hospital in America that has had zero of these infections in over 25 years.

Not one single doctor or nurse in that hospital has been infected.

Not one.
Would you believe that it's a hospital dedicated to an airborne disease, tuberculosis?

The Texas Center for Infectious Diseases, while not a large hospital, does have 170 employees.

In 1996, they gave everyone reusable N100 elastomeric respirators.

Since then, no Hospital Acquired Infections. And - they saved a ton of money by using them instead of N95's. Image
Not only do they save money, but the respirators are very comfortable. I wear a 3M version myself, and they are so much more comfortable than scratchy FFP3's.

They are also much more protective: Image
And the HCW's loved them; Image
I understand if this sounds too good to be true. Here's their website:



At the bottom of that page, is their Respiratory FAQ:


Here's their contact info: dshs.texas.gov/tcid/default.s…
dshs.texas.gov/tcid/Respirato…
Image
Here's the same basic story on this hospital, for your verification purposes:

Late addition to this surprisingly popular thread:

Regular folks wear them, too:







Look for N100.
Patientknowhow.com
cleanaircrew.org/elastomeric-re…
One more addition...Nicolas has forgotten more about respiratory PPE than you can shake an N100 at.

Absolutely endorse this webinar.

This is the viral TB hospital thread where no HCW has caught TB because of elastomeric respirators.

And it now has happened for CoVid.

And yet another zero nosocomial transmission of airborne diseases for HCWs.

Finland, FFP2/FFP3.

These folks refuse to give good real-life advice on how to clean up Hantavirus droppings.

And here we go - a shed with pressed board flooring and mouse droppings.

If I mop? Floor gets ruined.

If I blow it out with safety goggles and an N95 on?

Safely clean. And I

didn't have to pull everything out to get it done.

Real world aerosol-based solution versus a laboratory fomite-based solution.

@WADeptHealth - join us in the real world where viruses are airborne via aerosols - THROUGH THE AIR.

Or don't and let me gain followers by pointing
out your many many mistakes.

I would prefer to have no followers, and you putting out aerosol-based solutions.

But until then...thank you for being yet another useful tool to let me "gain clout."

CDC Influenza A monitoring is up.



They compare to last year's influenza season, and if up 80%? Begin investigating.

There are some latency problems with this, but let's ignore that.

Let's look at the geographic location problem. cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/h…

Image
Image
The thing is? While it's great to have this effort beginning, it is only covering 600 sites.

For Texas, it is Randall and Potter Counties. And there may be more than one wastewater treatment site in those counties.

I walked through every chicken and dairy outbreak from a preprint study that yielded county names.

Questions.

The FDA - monitoring people for 10 days. Which means calling them every day to see how they are. From the APHIS plan 👇.

But, per the Head of the FDA, the CDC is in charge of the workers' health?

Anyway, they are monitoring for 10 days. But incubation in poultry is 14 days, @DrEricDing.

@HelenBranswell crazy bird flu, right?



They don't know what it is in cows, per them, but they are going to drop it to 10 days because ?

(Thank you to @Alexander_Tin for his fantastic notes.)

Back on May 1st, Demetre shared there were 100 people being monitored.

But, in the above article, Colorado has 70 by itself. That was April 26.

May 21, 2020, the WHO HQ had ALREADY upgraded to better than the finest hospital's air cleaning.

June 9, 2020. @mvankerkhove @DrMikeRyan @Nyka_eh lied to our faces when they explained why they were sooo confident not masking. Not because it was 1 meter away....

/1
but because they already knew it was airborne, and they had upgraded to the world's best HVAC.

In this press conference, designed to clarify transmission, they ask each other if other forms of transmission will be found.

Mike was happy to hem and haw about fecal.
Maria was happy to talk about AGPs which only affected HCWs.

Airborne was never discussed.

They look so guilty.

If you click on More, then view transcript, you can search for mask, droplet, etc.

Liars lying.

That Politico story about H5N1 and a power struggle?

I have been tracking this entire debacle, and we only have Hopium left.

A 🧵 of ❌

❌ @JeffreyZients, @WHCOS is personally interested so that this doesn't blow up before November. This means the

politico.com/news/2024/05/0…
CDC will NOT be pushing for access to farmers.

❌ The states ag board and USDA are under control of big dairy and big beef. So, they want it quiet.

❌ The farmers are worried they'll lose market share, and have to spend money on PPE.

❌ The workers are 51% undocumented.
❌ The vets have already tried to change the name to be less scary.

❌ The consumer does not understand any of the above,, or below.

We know:
❌ The mammary gland/udder can act as a receptor milkshake mixer.

❌ That it is airborne.

❌ Workers are not wearing N95s.***
