H5N1 will make more of us sicker than Covid did. More people will die. We won’t be able to respond. There will be profound impacts on agriculture, the economy, & food security. More people will die from that.

There is a reason virologists lose sleep over avian flu.

We spoke with NIOSH’s Dylan Neu, who had been leading their ventilation assessments before layoffs

Errors they found at hospitals in TX treating measles ranged from wrongly pressurized rooms to still-wrapped filters

The agency's teams do careful inspections of the hospital's facilities, assessing how air is moving, he said, which can be difficult to accurately do over the phone with people unfamiliar with the technical details of how HVAC systems work. In one example, an isolation room at a hospital was found to have been pressurized wrongly, with air flowing out of the room with the measles patient, Neu said. Another hospital had skipped a key step in setting up an air filter in their waiting room: unwrapping the filter before turning it on. "They might say in an interview, 'Yeah, we purchased HEPA filters. They've been running in the waiting room.' But if they're not actually out of the plastic bag, they're not doing what they think they're doing," Neu said.
