  1. They are sterilizing them, the beginning of each shift with some kind of a new digger and we all have second sets of gear, gross decon with a hand line could happen but the only real way to decon the gear would be washing it in an extractor and drying it, which is fairly time consuming, the SCBA would be pretty simple to sterilize with the exception of the regulator, the only other issue would be filling the bottles as we have only have a cascade at 1 station and that would increase the risk of exposing that crew as well
  2. The scary thing is our first patient who came up positive was on a nebulizer, it wasn’t until the following week they put out guidelines on how much aerosolized medications increase the exposure risk, MCHD is no longer giving nebulizers to suspected Covid patients, they have gone to inhaler based medication administration
  3. My apologies no intention at all to cause panic, to me at least the study indicates an elevated risk from before, but to what extent? I do agree with you that aspect is unknown, to me as a healthcare provider it doesn’t make a difference however it does seem to have raises some alarm bells at least within our organization regarding the ease of transmission. I’m not afraid of it, I’ve been exposed and I’ve seen it, my only true fear is bringing it home to my 75 year old mother who lives with us as she has pretty much all of the risk factors. Our department has been fairly lax so far on this regarding preventative measures, if they’re suggesting masks while in public it’s not an overreaction , I have to think the concern of increased risk is coming from a credible source.

  6. I’m assuming it’s been mentioned they now think it’s airborne, or at least spread by simply talking and breathing, we just got word to prepare for a directive to wear masks at all times while in the public.

  10. I’m a first responder in Northwest Harris county just found out one of the patients we came in contact with last shift turned out positive for covid19 the whole crew was in full ppe because of symptom screening and I’m being told it was a low risk exposure and to self monitor.....had to call my crew and tell them
  11. I’m a first responder in the Northwest Houston area, was just informed someone we ran on Tuesday tested positive, glad everyone was in the right PPE, the exposure was low risk and I was told to self monitor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
