Baddog posted:I believe you are mixing up sensitivity and specificity (it happens, I don't use it all the time so I always have to double check I'm remembering what is what). Fwiw when I took ~24 Luciras in Dec 22 my false positive rate was 8% (and another 8% tests “errored out” flashing the lights, which Lucira refunded). This is what spurred us to buy a Cue (we used a friend’s Cue and the Walgreens mail-in PCRs against the false positives).

Poppers posted:It’s definitely a cost benefit thing which is unfortunate but a real part of healthcare. Hospitals are already one of the most insane garbage generating entities in all of modern society and there is at least some conceptual merit to reducing waste imo the "reduce waste" solution is to give your staff elastomerics, and its cheaper in the long run too San Antonio hospital could have an answer to the PPE crisis-- elastomeric masks https://www.kens5.com/article/news/...6c-33ce89e193cc quote:Kizilbash is an associate professor in Internal Medicine and the Medical Director at The Texas Center for Infectious Disease or TCID. It's disappointing that people are so hard on elastomerics, because they work really well and they don't break the bank over several years the way disposable masks do

general thread thing I'm begging everyone to please put at least some context around tweets about a celebrity being unspecifically ill is this related to covid? he had it earlier, right? is it something else? is there some element to the story that makes it fit itt? I get enough contextless celebrity gossip from my bing.com homepage

yeah even a fairly small hospital on full all-n95-all-the-time, no reuse, fresh one only, will go through an INSANE amount of auras, elastomeric would be a huuuuge improvement in waste generation and might even be cheaper, it just requires the staff to keep track of them and take care of them and.. well, I won't hold my breath lmao

I mean, that presumes each staff member is issued exactly one which they take care of and don't lose or break. And the number of loving papr hoods and positioning slings that end up in trash cans instead of getting reprocessed makes me less sanguine about the potential cost savings. for context: I worked in hospital materials management from 2021 until a few months ago

if we're getting into the economics of it, aren't we just talking about hospital / business administration and not medicine or public health?

By contrast, providing each employee with disposable respirators cost $258 per year per employee. i don't think you're going to bridge that difference in cost unless your employees are extremely gung-ho about pitching non-disposable hospital property. And if they are then you have much bigger problems at your facility

Platystemon posted:Babe, wake up. The mirror universe’s ivermectin has revealed itself. There's been some research for a while on hookworms for allergies and autoimmune diseases. My rheumatologist mentioned them to me as an experimental treatment should I wish to pursue that. Sounded kind of hit or miss though, for some people they worsen symptoms. They secrete substances that mess with immune response, so they probably help prevent an overexuberant immune response from wrecking everything. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5401880/

bedpan posted:lmao at the "covid doesn't spread in schools" brain poison I think it’s more that schools operate as a business rather than institutions of learning and “asses in seats” are super important for their “metrics”. without speaking for that professor I imagine they face a lot of pressure to not cancel class for Covid or such atm, it’s entirely possible that the email they sent out about it was a passive aggressive way for them to let people who care try to make an informed decision about their attendance that week or such.

And if they are then you have much bigger problems at your facility Is there not some worry about cross contamination as employees go from room to room and patient to patient? I imagine pathogens could hitch a ride fairly easily on a silicon mask (not necessarily Covid but mrsa etc) At least that was my understanding of why everything’s disposable.

I imagine pathogens could hitch a ride fairly easily on a silicon mask (not necessarily Covid but mrsa etc) Theoretically yes but everything being a single-use disposable ended up with people wearing loving garbage bags for PPE and storing disposable n95s in little paper bags between shifts since they were too precious to be thrown away and there was no provision made for like a closet full of elastomerics and paprs in the basement to fall back on when the poo poo hit the fan
