I support @BCNursesUnion request for appropriate PPE based on a nurses PCRA.
The PCRA does NOT require secondary approval from a supervisor to wear appropriate respiratory PPE if nurses are informed that #COVIDIsAirborne

BC chose to proceed with a PCRA instead of having appropriate PPE universally for all HCWs. If the province chose this path, they should apply this consistently. Why are we still stuck with droplet dogma?
A few points to revise in the article:
- normal physiologic activities (eg. breathing) generates aerosols
- the AGMP framework is outdated and is no longer acceptable (ie inconsistent w/ principles of physics)
- transmission also occurs during the ASYMPTOMATIC stages

A physician colleague just wrote to the vaccination clinic coordinators to see if she can wear a respirator during her shifts.
IPAC at that health authority is “reassessing”
I remain hopeful that science of transmission will prevail over droplet dogma.

H/t @LisaCordasco for drawing attention to the barriers faced by nursing colleagues in BC

Any thoughts on this from @WorkSafeBC on how nurses can be better protected based on their personal PCRA?
