The CSA in Canada put forth a recommendation that respirators be used in healthcare to prevent COVID and other airborne diseases.
It’s a recommendation that would save lives.
Yet managers of hospital infection control programs are fighting back on it.
Disgusting.

This list—predominantly managers of hospital infection control programs—are undermining revisions to a Canadian standard for workplace respirator personal protective equipment (PPE) that would improve safety grounded in science and engineering. /1

I'm fed up with hearing Government responses saying that air filters are no substitute for ventilation whilst providing neither good ventilation nor air filters to school classrooms.
I say in reply:

Ineptitude is no substitute for knowledge.

A lot of news from Covid inquiry blaming lockdown for people not being able to see relatives in care settings.
The truth is; airborne transmission was covered up & Gov't hadn't properly prepared for an airborne pandemic.
People could have done this entirely safely with the right mitigations.

The thing with clinicians working with patients on “pacing” programs is they may turn into “pacing up” if you’re not disciplined about it. It shouldn’t turn into graded activity by another name. A clear understanding and expectation of the program is required for both the patient and the clinician.

It is an initiative by @sthelenscouncil (X a/c) and @WarringtonBC (X a/c) called the Healthy Air for Healthy Lungs project.
So what's it all about?...

Most people think that Covid does nothing at all after acute infection.
The difference in understanding, I fear, could just be time.
It took many years for this to be widely acknowledged for HIV.
