A great listen, ty @normanswan. Dr Kainer’s work highlights the COVID19 challenges faced on geriatrics wards: ageing infrastructure, “aerosol generating behaviour” (shouting, kicking =“super spreading events”), asymptomatic, poor ventilation/airflow, cohorting in multibed rooms. https://twitter.com/normanswan/status/1336729156411768833

And from our local experience donning on/off quickly and safely is a challenge when you see a patient with dementia and an unsteady gait get up and wander – a fall waiting to happen – instinct is to get to them ASAP but got to get PPE on (and off first if with another patient).

All screams for more resources for aged care, and this includes residential care @k_eagar @adamgordon1978 @NathanStall
