[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump killed NIOSH, the ones with labs that test masks.

There go masks. Your doctor will spread germs during your surgeries now. Hope MAGA enjoys the bacteria.

FYI, Surgeons don’t wear N95 masks during surgery.  They wear regular masks.[/quote]

There are many different types of masks doctors wear. We wear n95’s when we treat certain diseases. TB, in particular, requires the use of an n95, and due to the dismantling of USAID, it’s just a matter of time before we see surges of multi drug resistant TB here.

You can rationalize your brains out, but in a world that has experienced sars, mers and covid, and is always at risk for the next pandemic, canceling pandemic research, canceling medical research, stripping health departments to the bone, and canceling safety regulators is the height of stupidity. Not to mention, leaving the WHO. The U.S. strategy is, “Let’s just close our eyes and hope nothing bad will happen to us”[/quote]

N95s (different from a standard surgical/droplet mask) are very effective if properly fitted. They are worn by healthcare workers depending on circumstance such as TB cases and rule outs, Measles cases/rule outs, COVID, Mpox, disseminated shingles (a more severe version), etc.

Surgeons may or may not wear an N95 vs regular surgical mask depending on whether an aerosol generating procedure is being performed and depending on the isolation status of the patient, per above. [/quote]
