It looks like Western has five lots of these. There are 4,400 masks per lot, so 22,000 N95s that they apparently don't need.

Please promo ventilation/filtration (incl masking) too!
Many of the viruses w which we are familiar (Strep, influenza A, RSV, pertussis, common cold, TB, even measles) get breathed out by the infected person, float in the air for > 6 ft, linger in the air for hours, and then get inhaled by others.

Covid has left behind many people, and it's still happening to this day. The forums of people with long Covid see new persons every week who have just developed the illness.
It could be anyone of us next. These cases are dramatic, but like every other illness, there are much milder ones.

Best thing that could come from this is to better educate doctors, so they understand what Long COVID is possibly how to diagnose/treat features of the disorder (no clear diagnostic/treatment yet).
They need to trust people & actually try to help.

This paper goes into more detail on why infection control and public health leaders in 2020 were close to a century out of date on how infections are transmitted in aerosols. Mechanistic science training is inadequate in many medical programs.
The errors would be funny, except for all the death.

What were the historical reasons for the resistance to recognizing airborne transmission during the COVID‐19 pandemic?
The question of whether SARS-CoV-2 is mainly transmitted by droplets or aerosols has been highly controversial. We sought to explain this controversy through a historical analysis of transmission res...

Pretty concerning since so many people who have #LongCovid don’t know they have it. And those who do know, may not be believed.
Add the likelihood that not many anesthesiologists will understand LC or this and we end up with “less than” care for many.
Hoping they manage to get the word out!

Did you know #LongCovid heavily impacts anesthesia response, and because of that, these patients need specific requirements and protocols before receiving anesthesia? Neither do I. Anesthesiologist and neurologist Tihamér Molnar described his research with Long Covid patients in Hungary.
