“The original Plain Language Summary for this review stated that 'We are uncertain whether wearing masks or #N95/P2 #respirators helps to slow the spread of #RespiratoryViruses based on the studies we assessed.' This wording was open to misinterpretation, for which we apologize. While scientific evidence is never immune to misinterpretation, we take responsibility for not making the wording clearer from the outset.”

In addition to the influenza virus, the #BronchiolitisVirus, #Coronavirus and other #RespiratoryViruses that can cause the same symptoms are currently circulating, the institute added. Let's say it again - #Epidemic in Belgium means other countries close on their heels. #PublicHealth Matters. Please #WearAMask

@TheConversationUS #RespiratoryViruses have rebounded hard after #CCOVID seclusion, & 😷s are one of the best ways to avoid getting them . Recent studies have shown that wearing a surgical mask in an indoor public setting reduces the odds of testing positive for #COVID19 by 66%, & wearing an N95/KN95 type of mask lowers the odds of testing positive by 83%.

88 followers · 265 posts · Server med-mastodon.comPrevious 7 days positivity : InfA 30.5%, InfB 0%, RSV 29.6%. 213 total specimens. Had not been checking CoV because our volume dropped from about 1K/day to 777 for the week, but it's 11.2%. Many are pre procedure, so I don't know what the percentage of symptomatics is.
I'm on urine next week, but I will check again Sunday.

Ian MacKay’s #SwissCheeseModel describes the importance of multiple layers of protection against #RespiratoryViruses (not just Covid) - because no one method is perfect (imperfections are symbolised by the holes in the cheese)
Multiple layers of protection improve the likelihood of avoiding and passing on infection.
