It doesn't get much more macho or conservative than the Marines. Nice of them to demonstrate even cotton masks reduce disease transmission in November 2024.
They require masks in Phase 1, because they have new recruits gathered together.
Thank you very much, Dr. Stone for laying out this 20 hour meeting so very clearly and concisely!
The HICPAC voted to deny HCWs N95s, deny ALL the protection of universal source control, and have HCW illness time to be so short as to be GUARANTEED to bring more LongCovid.
I have my head so far up the governmental cow's butt on this one, I think I am uniquely qualified to answer on the difference between Biden and Trump on H5N1.
Biden's USDA is still denying airborne, and is still not telling the Spanish-speaking dairy workers that it is airborne. Or to wear an N95.
Biden's CDC is running Spanish ads on the radio and Facebook. Offering testing. Workers still not trusting the CDC.
Trump will get the CDC to continue to offer free testing clinics - and arrest the workers when they come in.
Nobody will want to milk or take care of the cows. They will continue to get sick, but really die without the intensive care they actually need with H5N1.
