We must protect health care workers who risk their lives for others. Police officers, firefighters, and military personnel all deserve and receive specialized protective equipment. Infectious Disease doctors and nurses deserve no less.
We also need to stop transmission through the hospitals. If outbreak protocol sends sick people into hospitals, then health care workers with bad PPE get infected- who then infect their families and friends. Ineffective HCW PPE increases Ro. China solved nosocomial transmission by keeping health care workers into isolation hotels; however, this has enormous personal costs (such as separating nurses from their families), which is not an option for every person or nation. Effective PPE is a much more rational defense. And it is orders of magnitudes less expensive for a state or country relative to the economic losses of an outbreak.
VerasuitTM helps establish the hospitals as a line in the sand. This cannot be done if doctors continuously get infected while wearing bad PPE.
