And then you see footage of ?biosecurity team gowned up on site to assess the situation wearing some crappy KN95s 🤦

This got me thinking… what anonymous reporting avenues are at your disposal? Maybe we should use these to report more things..: until the culture around reporting improves

Could you submit without naming your colleague?
‘Staff member attended with coryzal symptoms awaiting swab result, no respiratory protection, and swab result positive for influenza’

Also, why are staff even working when sick…. They should be resting at home!

Is it worth submitting an incident report about this?
Patient safety. Workplace safety. Public health.
What a mess. How available are N95s?

I read an article/watched a video/saw a thread a few weeks ago about the thickness of host airway secretions and the transmissibility of pathogens in exhaled air. Poor hydration and stickier secretions meant higher risk of transmission. Can’t find it now.

Anyone know what I’m talking about?

Screenshot of a twitter post from @ErykBagshaw. It reads: I'm very sad to report that @gemcarey has died. The family has asked me to release this statement. "Gemma passed away on 17th November 2024 after a long battle with illness. Her family ask for privacy during this difficult time." It then shows a partial screen shot of Gemma’s Twitter profile which reads Prof Gemma Carey, PhD MMedSci @gemcarey Follows you This account is no longer active Views are my own @ Ngunnawal country & Sydney @gemmacareypolicy.com

Our chronic illness community has lost another member - Prof Gemma Carey has passed away.

Gemma was a fierce advocate for long covid and chronic illness - and an incredibly talented writer.

She was a valuable member of our community and I’m sending tons of love to her family and all who knew her.

What do you understand to be the reason for this lag and under-representation by Vic?

The trolls are here. This account was sent up to resemble AU Greens leader Adam Bandt's account with his name and photo but was then changed to this after getting over 1K followers. Please report and block. bsky.app/profile/adam...

A thousand or more will likely die (5,000-10,000 more people will die more than usual in 2024 largely bc of COVID), & some 50x that number (in a younger age cohort) will suffer chronic form of the disease adding to an already large community long COVID caseload. 5/

A plea to maskless health-care workers from vulnerable patients - Healthy Debate Health-care workers have a responsibility to protect their vulnerable patients. Our lives are in your hands.

A plea to maskless health-care workers from vulnerable patients.

"If your trauma is so severe that you can’t mask for a vulnerable patient – or worse, you lash out at a patient for masking – then you need to carefully assess whether you should be in a patient-facing role."

Yikes

Where do I get in line?

I’m with Amber electric too!
