CDC Publishes Request for Comments on HCl IDLH – New draft of immediately dangerous to health or life guidance document for hydrogen chloride –https://tinyurl.com/muyud879 #NIOSH #ChemicalSafety

One in three US public health workers reports feeling threatened by the public while working during the pandemic. That public anger and aggression has an impact on those workers' mental health. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-01-health-workers-threatened-pandemic.html

Not okay.

For more info, check out how #NIOSH describes it all. In my opinion, they discuss some of this nuance fairly well...

@steven if you're looking for disposable/FFR, have you tried the #Vitacore #CAN99? Although only tested to meet #NIOSH #N95 standard, according to MaskNerd it filtered 99.9% on a quantitative fit test; highest filtering #FFR he'd tested. And super breathable, too.

Which is the most effective way to prevent the infection and spread of COVID-19?
(besides complete isolation, of course)

Here’s Nancy Pelosi speaking on the crowded floor of the House of Representatives without wearing an N95 respirator.

She is in the line of succession to the presidency, yet she carelessly takes an unnecessary risk by exposing herself to COVID-19 without wearing a respirator.

Ironically, she was talking about how the US is falling behind other countries in science. Duh!

The truth is…

Press Secretary Jen Psaki became infected with COVID-19 because she didn’t wear an N95 respirator.

Psaki doesn’t wear a respirator when she gives her press briefings to the White House correspondents.

According to the CDC, none of the White House correspondents who were infected by Psaki are considered close contacts.

(In epidemiology, a “close contact” is anyone who was close enough to an infected person to possibly become infected themselves. It’s used for contact tracing to locate people who may have become infected to help prevent further spread of disease, among other things.)
