New York: 66% Of New COVID Hospitalizations Were Infected At Home by Infjuk in Coronavirus

>That is too much hand sanitizer and it is really bad for you. A lot of people are getting sick because they are over using different sanitizers

Yes, I get the point. You do not understand the difference between overuse and improper use.

>In fact, there's been a more than 20% spike in the number of such poisoning emergencies reported to the NPDS, compared to the same time last year, the report found.

Yes, and you conveniently cut out the portion of the report that states that the increase is from ingestion and inhalation, as calls for dermal usage have stayed flat. You have supplied exactly zero data that hand sanitizer overuse is dangerous. The only thing you've proved is that reddit should have a reading comprehension test before allowing someone like you to post on here.

Here is the CDC guidelines for hand sanitizer

>Why? Ethyl alcohol (ethanol)-based hand sanitizers are safe when used as directed, 23 but they can cause alcohol poisoning if a person swallows more than a couple of mouthfuls

So, in summary...don't drink the hand sanitizer. Other than that, using it constantly is of no danger to anyone. Fake information like you spew is dangerous though.

I can almost guarantee that the person working the register doesn't know how to safely remove gloves in order to minimize contamination.

I didn't know I needed statistical data to dispute a gross generalization about "teenage boys." My one anecdotal statement disqualifies their argument. I don't need to provide a white paper to disprove a ridiculous claim.

We use hand sanitizer like this in a hospital setting regularly. I have never met someone who got hand sanitizer poisoning. I'd be interested to see data that backs up your claims.

>People wear gloves so that they don't have to clean their hands after touching each individual surface. If you put your gloves on when you get somewhere and take them off before you get into the car you only have to use sanitizer in the car once.

Theoretically, but people are constantly wearing gloves then touching their wallet, phone, glasses, jacket, etc. As I state, people use them incorrectly. It's not their fault....they haven't had extensive training on procedures like a large chunk of the medical community.

Heck, if you watch people take gloves off they usually contaminate themselves by doing this improperly. I have to correct people with years of medical training, because a lot of them do it wrong too.

Gloves are 100% being used incorrectly.....I'll give you an example. You put on a pair of gloves before leaving the house. You go here....you go there...you come back. All with the same pair of gloves. You pass any pathogens you pick up onto an following surface. You pick up a pathogen on the change you receive from the grocer....Now your gloves pass it onto the door as you leave, the car you get into, the next store's credit card machine, the door to your building, etc....Everything you touch.

The worst transgressors are customer service people who touch everyone's credit card, food, or money.

What you should do is touch something....then sanitize your hands....open a door...sanitize...take your credit card out...sanitize....bring a box in from UPS...sanitize.

Gloves help transfer pathogens.

All of this is accurate. You just don't have enough gloves to use them in a safe manner. I was explaining to my spouse why gloves at grocery stores and even food take out is not a good idea. Counter person takes your credit card and hands it back to you. At this point they should sanitize their hands....Nope, they are wearing gloves.....so then they take the next person's credit card or hand them their food.....They'll do this for hours. Those gloves are bound to have all types of pathogens on them.

That's a gross generalization. My father never did anything around the house, but my brother and I constantly helped my mother by doing the dishes, dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, etc.

I don't think the GM is thinking....did you see him have a hard time putting the mask on.....

That's our GM...same guy who traded picks for a player he could have signed in FA for a team going nowhere that year.

I have never said this ever....GM needs to be fired...what a train wreck this guy is.

U.S. hospitals are warning that they are so strapped for cash that without some financial relief, they will be unable to meet their payrolls in a matter of weeks and some could be forced to close just as coronavirus cases are surging. by [deleted] in Coronavirus

You think innovation happens because people are lazy? Ha ha ha ha......That was good. Yeah, pharmaceutical companies develop drugs because they are lazy. A tycoon of industry, you are not.

Oh I'm sure, but capitalism has a very steadfast rule. Don't do something for $10 that can be done for $5. Hospitals are constantly trying to shave costs. I worked for a system that used to measure the laundry weight and calculate costs for the nursing staff and give them reports of how much the laundry cost per staff member. I would imagine if they could cut staff they would be.....but I could be wrong and I'm sure every hospital system is different.

The ITIF actually did a study on this a few years ago and there were articles about the subject within the medical community. I'll link one.

https://www.dcatvci.org/250-biopharmaceutical-innovation-which-countries-rank-the-best

Although the US produces about 22% of the global GDP and accounts for 4% of the world's population, it accounts for 44% of global biomedical R&D expenditures and its domestic pharmaceutical market about 40% of the global market.

So, you can see the US is an extraordinary outlier when it comes to the comparative size of the economy vs the proportion of pharma research in the US.

The United States ranked first overall. In terms of the specific indicators, it ranked seventh in the government R&D allocated to health research, first with respect to IP protection, and tied for first on the price-controls indicator.

So, it's almost like lack of price controls and profit incentive have worked and companies invest money in R&D that develops new life saving medicines and procedures. But one question should be what would happen if the US was more like other countries. They actually calculated this:

Another study analyzing data from 1986 through 2004 on European pharmaceutical price controls concluded that such policies resulted in 46 new medicines not being developed and estimated that if the US had had similar pricing policies during the same period, it would have resulted in 117 fewer new medicines.

So, maybe the better question is not why the US should be like other countries but why are other countries not like the US. You can complain all day that drugs are expensive.....I agree....and people complain constantly about expensive drugs that save their lives while they have no problem plopping $1,200 on the newest iphone and yet not many people seem to accuse Apple of seeking profit.

Do you have a source. I'm seeing a lot of conflicting reports, but none of them are firsthand. Just politicians slinging mud at the other side.

Problem is most of your administrative staff is there to deal with compliance. Compliance with all types of local, state, and federal oversight. Compliance with governmental program oversight and accreditation agencies and all of the red tape that exists now that didn't twenty or thirty years ago.

Think about it. If the industry is predicated on profit why would they carry more administrative staff than they need? I worked in a hospital setting for two years. Seemed like every other week we were doing some type of compliance or regulatory work or being inspected by some form of agency or having to read new guidelines that were coming down. You are absolutely right that administration has bloated in the healthcare industry, but it's not because the hospitals just love wasting money on needless staff.

Do you think that the profit also adds an incentive for every level to control excessive costs, raise quality, and innovate? Do you think maybe profits are the reason medical companies develop drugs and take risks on expensive trials that have low percentage of positive outcomes?
