Ha! Yeah. Barn animals pee in a barn. There's a board with a nail sticking up...a rusty nail. Farmer steps on nail. Can't irrigate the wound. Get's lock jaw. People still think it was the rusty nail. No. It's the barn animal pee that doesn't get washed out of the wound. If I were a rancher I'd consider getting vaxed. If I liked everything in the vax and didn't consider it any risk at all I'd also consider getting vaxed. You can probably see my deduction there.

So.... the farmers Ole rusty nail and barn animals causes tetanus? I really should have hyphenated that.....

While I do not know the cause, and am too lazy to do a search, I have an idea that you will remedy this deficiency- if asked politely - ta.

Do you know causes tetanus? I'm still surprised how many people don't know. The ole "rusty nail" story is a bit of a wives tail. I'd call it 5% truth. The remaining 95% requires barn animals...haha....

50% of COVID patients in hospital acquire a secondary infection. I consider a hospital the worst place to be.

Good story. My experience is different, I get jabbed for most everything, still alive, I think.
Tetanus- yes not now widespread. . Jab still recommended if you are in a place with a poor health system.
I have just had my winter (southern hemisphere) jab for flu. They say, works for 3 or 4 months, and 60% effective, not sure exactly what that means. At 60% the user (patient/victim) should take all the precautions they would as if not jabbed.
There is more to this vaccination subject than meets the eye.

Whenever I hear the word 'expert' I get the heebijeebs,
time there was a medication for that.

I had to read Stormi twice to make sure I did not write this comment . The technocrats (scientific governance) from the WHO the CDC and MainStream Media’s collaboration mirrors the Global warming scam using fear and phony numbers and dreamed up by the Rockefeller’s are the commonality. I have been counting the idiots I see out hiking or driving alone wearing a mask.
Brainwashed Stepford wives syndrome.

This expose’ fits in your guarded warning with serious issues described. Some are related to the pressure and the circulation of oxygen and the ventilators. https://youtu.be/BR05LEDo5nM

Wow....this is like designing MRI suites without shielding or supercooling the conductors. Thanks

Thanks for the thoughts. It is curious to read and see what is deemed "acceptable" in terms of cause for loss of life. All the best to staying actively involved in personal health and minimizing contact with hospitals in context of being a patient.

Yes

Yeah, well we can't read minds.

Several years ago I had a doctor I really liked. She ended up eventually quitting that practice and going to work for the American Indians. She looked at my chart and said, "I see you're way behind on your tetanus vaccine." "Hasn't tetanus been eradicated?" "Uh, yes." "Only a couple cases per year in the US, right?" "Yes, that's right." "And, if I get it I can be cured with antibiotics." "That's right....but it's very painful!" "It was eradicated with the automobile. Shot still has mercury, and aluminum?" "Yes." "I think I'll take my chances." (she smiled that smile...)

The experts are whomever people agree with. And, they can be full of s*&t...

The little smiles-
maybe they are thinking something else?
This is a criticism, but of who?
Can the experts be wrong? Has been known.

Yes, very interesting. I have remained illness-free for 15 years straight (knock on wood). The only time I go in to see my doctor is when I damage something being reckless or over-active for my age. No shots. No pharmaceuticals. Nothing. Lots of fish and vegetables. Drives them crazy at times, but I can see the little smiles as though they are saying, "This guy's on to us..." Haha. I work in healthcare and I've even been involved in some studies firsthand, and have read well over 100 studies on topics from pharmaceuticals, viruses and diet. I have to in order to be good at my work.

I occasionally speak to different technical groups on medical information. I use statistics like 108,000 killed every year by known EXPECTED prescription drug side effects. Hospital acquired infections kill the equivalent of crashing a fully-loaded 737 every day. Around 225,000 people die every year that would have otherwise lived had they not gone in to get medical treatment. These are (or were) CDC statistics.

The story yet to be told is about the childhood vaccine schedule. That one is a barn-burner...

What?!? ORs are designed for positive, filtered, pressurization. To reverse process allows for all the flaws in construction to be sources of contaminants.

Negative pressure? Doesn't make sense to me. I would think it would be better to be pumping purified sterile air into the room as opposed to sucking in whatever is out side.

I think, after all this, there should be a systematic re-evaluation of hospital design, ventilation design, Air system design, the works for hospitals, The current design paradigms are obviously woefully inadequate. There is an opportunity here for engineers and architects to make a fortune designing new systems, which medical companies will require because the government will mandate changes.

They want us in masks, which are breeding grounds for any virus passing through. They love drugs. Tehy crave vaccines, even though many are allergic, and the we have no idea what Bill Gates puts in his, just that he keeps talking the need to decrease the population by millions. Give me fresh iar, vitamins, and freedom, avoid doctors as much as possible.

I agree. Since I am a mountain climber, my mother will send me links to articles regarding "climbing fatalities." -- because she cares. She is a type 2 diabetic. So I send her links to how a change in behavior (diet) can eliminate the symptoms that she suffers from T2D. No response. I have also shared links related to deaths in hospitals ...
100k a year dead due to contracting an infection while in hospital -- infection having no relation to the ailment that requires the patient to be in the hospital.
100k a year dead due to incorrect Rx while patient is in the hospital.
... And other elements of incompetence... just so long as the hospital bills get paid.

Before I retired (30 year software engineer) I invested 20+ years in the Electronic Health Records space ... many of the doctors that I spoke to at conferences indicated that 70-80% of hospital visits, procedures, treatments could be eliminated via a change in the patient's behavior ... things to eliminate -- drugs (smoking, drinking, etc), inactivity, etc... things to add: improved hydration, diet, sleep. All things that are readily controllable at the individual level. However -- lots of folks are defined by their ailments. Mom has her T2D. Others have their bad back (which often coincides with obesity ... "Mr. Jones, I suspect your back pain would be reduced if you reduced your midriff by 30 pounds").

Long Story Short (as my dad likes to say) ... Staying out of hospitals has been one of the side-effects to living a clean and simple life. Stay healthy out there.

Yeah, the threat appears to have been overstated. That's good. I just got off the phone with a major healthcare provider this morning, modifying four floors of a half-used med-surg tower for COVID. We parted with, "Let's hope we don't need it."

You sound really smart! Too bad you watch CNN...

Well Hell.....nothing is as good as it should be. I don't mean to be insulting....but you sound a little like CNN.

All I'm seeing is unnecessary panic. Many of the hospitals in my area actually laid off doctors and nurses because they geared entirely for the COVID-19 patients - and none came. We've had only a few hundred cases total and few have required ventilators. And still the governor is dithering on re-opening businesses for "fear" of a second wave...

Design of ORs is pretty involved. I love it. There's a lot of science behind it and it's one area I work to stay on the cutting edge of.

FWIW - UV can be used with success. If I were to us it I'd aim it at the cooling coil, and keep it well maintained.

Oh, and yes - room pressure is vital to infection control.

Pressure, does it make a difference?
The way I see it, no, any problem is with the source of the airflow in each room.

So I suggest- filter and treat all airflow in and out per room,
at least when there is a procedure going on,
and especially when the patient is very sensitive, and/or is a source of infection.

I particularly like the new idea, old knowledge, of using UV lamps in air ducting for disinfecting the harmful micro-organisms.

There are reports of cross infection in hospitals. So, the point has merit, yes hospitals are very strict about disinfecting by wiping, but may be ignoring risks from airborne transmission of nasties.
Opening windows more may help sometimes, but air filtering, and UV, seems to be the way to go.
