  2. I don't care if the people in the lobby shake their heads and laugh at me. I got a solo elevator ride to the 44th floor again today.
    Laugh all you want - get infected as many times as you want - I'm going to be here in a proper respirator and a face shield to protect me from unmasked carriers like you in the lobby, def not sharing a ride w you!

    2/2 #HandHygiene #HandWashing

    It is important to note… "Use of #antibacterial soap showed little added benefit compared with use of nonantibacterial #soap."

    Take home: There is NO need to add antibacterial agents to soap for basic #InfectionControl at home or in public places. More important that that you "just DO it" [wash your hands] than choosing a brand/formula of soap.

    …and...

    "Hand hygiene is clearly effective against #gastrointestinal and, to a lesser extent, #respiratory infections."

    Take home: This makes sense! #GI #infections are typically "fecal/oral" (I don't have to go into what that means!). The hands are the most likely route of infection. Wash them!

    #Influenza can be transmitted by touching surfaces. #COVID19 less so. So again the above makes sense.

    Hope this Helps!

  4. #Seeds and fat balls do more than just fill small #birds#stomachs. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that feeding during the wintertime causes #birds to be healthier, since they do not have to expend as much energy fighting #infections.

  5. Official #WHO #statement on #COVID and #raccoon #dog #DNA 🧬 reportedly found via #sequencing at the #Wuhan #Huanan #Market in early 2020.

    “The findings suggest that animals were present at the market shortly before the market had been cleared on 1 January 2020, as part of the #public #health measures by Chinese authorities. These results provide potential leads to identifying intermediate hosts of #SARS- #CoV-2 and potential sources of human #infections in the market.”
