oh yeah I know

sorry I wasn't clear, but I'm not asking for like pricing and availability

I'm interested in knowing like terminology I can use in search, model names vendors who make them, distributors I can keep an eye on, etc

I imagine at some point I will be buying these masks, so I just want to get ball rolling on sourcing them

just a good normal functioning health system!

quote:

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Williamson Medical Center in Franklin will be placing 200 employees on temporary furlough leave amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

The hospital said it has had a significant economic impact from the pandemic. WMC said the cancellation of elective procedures and system-wide protection guidelines which has reduced its number of patient visits, treatment and procedures caused a decrease in its revenue.

"This was a very difficult decision to make. I appreciate the tremendous sacrifices our staff is making in this time of uncertainty," said Donald Webb, Williamson Medical Center CEO. "Given these extraordinary circumstances, we are taking the necessary actions to ensure long term viability of the health system for our staff and the communities we serve."

Impacted employees will be placed on leave starting April 1. WMC said it intends to reinstate furloughed employees as soon as they are able

indications are that they aren't anywhere near the quality of an N95 respirator and probably aren't as effective as a surgical mask. the big concern with them is people might use them as an excuse to stop social distancing and touch their face to adjust it all the time which might negate any benefit they give from filtering air. they do seem to cut transmission from the person wearing the mask.

so, likely a marginal impact on transmission but we need every little bit we can get right now.

Does anyone want to effortpost on the differences between the different kinds of tests for COVID-19? I keep hearing about how some tests are "rapid" and some aren't, how some tests are only "antibody" tests which are not accurate, how some tests take days but others take mere hours, and so on?

I would be rly curious about this too

Mostly an issue of training and culture I think. Full face respirators also use cartridges and those are hard to get a hold of as well.

It's weird doing medicine in a space mask and you don't want to create unnerving atmospheres for patients.

Also doctors and nurses don't get trained on those things and while it's not rocket surgery and about a billion times easier to check for a seal on them it's still not great to introduce new stuff if you can avoid it. But like my friend in NJ EMS got issued a half face respirator and P100 cartridges and a tyvek suit so it is happening.
