请学医的核实一下。原来还奇怪为什么有防护的医务人员还死那么多。看来N95 N100口罩也不是100%安全。
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported that the SARS virus can be transmitted by fomites and aerosols and that infection can occur via the mucous membranes of the mouth and eyes (the conjunctiva).3 The CDC report3recommended use of an N95 respirator (a half-mask) for protection against SARS, but the finding that transmission can occur through the eyes indicates that a half-mask respirator is not appropriate for this purpose. This conclusion is supported by 3 other recent publications4,5,6 reporting that N95 respirators do not appear to be effective. This ineffectiveness is due to the particle size of the SARS virus, poor fit and inadequate eye protection. Instead, use of an elastomeric (rubber) full-face respirator with an ultra-low penetrating air (ULPA) filter, rather than a high-efficiency particulate air filter, is warranted (e.g., North full-face respiratory 7600 series

医护人员除了戴口罩,还要戴护目镜啊。甚至整个人都包起来的。当年sars时说给病人做插管的护士最容易被感染,有个超级毒株病人感染了一百多个医护人员,谁给插管谁就要被感染,所以才护士才请辞不干。我就想这是不是刚开始不知道传染性这么强,医护人员防范不到位。还有隔离区的医护人员因为进出都要消毒,所以呆在里面一次会比较久,据说为了少上厕所就会少喝水,精神也很紧张,所以更容易被感染。当年流言很多,也不知道真假。
