😷 every worker in healthcare settings is to use a respirator, no longer just HCWs
😷 patients are to be given respirators and only given surgical masks if unable to wear a respirator
😷 respirators are to be worn in all areas and at all times unless it’s an area with high air exchange rates

Here are some of the proposed changes to improve workplace safety in healthcare settings:
😷 surgical masks should not be used for respiratory protections
😷 elastomeric respirators are to be put into widespread use & there are several situations where they are the preferred option vs N95

Multi-millionaire stunt giveaway YouTuber MrBeast is one of the biggest influences on children. On the set of his Amazon series, a 24-year-old has been left disabled after part of a building fell on him. Team Beast offered him $1,000 in gift cards.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I said this last week but bears repeating: churches have a huge part to play, for good or ill, in what happens next, as they did in the civil rights movement, in the civil war, and during the Holocaust. Good on the Anglicans for not hesitating on this.
Oh wow he was defrocked for this.
