No… medical professionals aren’t “struggling to prevent transmission”.

Where airborne disease guidelines are followed, outcomes are outstanding. (E.g. infectious disease hospital in Italy 2020.)

Medical professionals and health managers are choosing not to follow the protocols.
That’s mainly because of government acceptance of “a certain amount of loss” aided by chaos agents and misguided people in media… including SoMe.
I wouldn’t normally engage… but I think that this was an important point to be made.

The airborne disease control protocols are excellent, have been around for decades, and they work.
The only thing preventing their use is the *cost*.

They have allowed numbers of SARS2 cases to exceed capacity for containment using current infrastructure.

There are two solutions.
Solution 1.

Reduce case numbers to manageable quantities. Pretty much double digit for something as fast as COVID-19.
Solution 2

Build the infrastructure to reduce the spread of ubiquitous airborne disease.

One would hope an engineer with investment interests would be keen on this one…

The sensitivity of PCR for C19 is not 100%.

No where near in fact.

In clinical practice it was around 70%.
RAT even lower than that depending on when it is done and how often.
These tests aren’t even being done routinely for all feverish patients.

You might be wondering how spraying healthy humans with a known pathogen that can cause long term disease or death can ever pass ethics.

->
The risk of the study is compared to the risks of not doing the study, and what the chances are that a person will be exposed to the same risks without doing the study.
As you might imagine, the chances of a person not being exposed to COVID in a country like the UK is very, very low…

It’s possible COVID is making kids hypertensive.

Been googling. A smattering of case studies of kids with hypertension after having COVID… possibly transiently… and a huge Korean study where they talk about lockdowns and cardiometabolic risk factors… but then note that ->
“In the BMI-specific analysis, an increase in the prevalence was prominent in the normal BMI group.”

Every time I read those tweets about masks (respirators) not working I lose a brain cell.

Of course they work.

They’ve been used in industry for ages.

They’ve been used to provide care to patients with serious illnesses, protecting the HCW for ages…
These groups that tweet garbage about respirators not working… what do they propose? We just leave the sick to die without care cos we risk more than 50% chance of death if we go near them?
I’ve been working with dangerous diseases on and off my whole career. Dangerous chemicals and dusts too.

Complete nonsense to say masks don’t work. I would have had a MDRTB brain abscess ages ago if that were true.

I am in a situation that could only be true as a comedy skit.

It’s autumn going into a nasty winter.

Waves are rising of many viruses.

I’m in a medical centre.

Everyone is coughing and has a runny nose.

No one is in a mask of any sort.
The doctor is sick and unmasked.
The pathology person is sick and unmasked.
