“Initially, we’re going to be using these to disinfect our golf carts,” McGuire explained. “As other parts of our facilities open, I can see us using them on playgrounds, picnic areas, maintenance facilities – most anywhere that we’d like to help ensure the safety of the public and workers.”

Now that American businesses and institutions are opening once again, there is an urgent need to help keep everyone safe. The new KLEAN/pak is a complete portable disinfecting system that helps municipal, commercial, and industrial users safely, effectively, and quickly disinfect all kinds of equipment by simply adding garden hoses, water, and dilutable liquid disinfectant to the system.

The KLEAN/pak is made in the USA by an expert in water flow equipment. Task Force Tips (TFT) has been manufacturing firefighting equipment to help save lives and protect property for over 50 years. The new, patent pending, TFT KLEAN/pak mass disinfection system continues that legacy of protection.

The KLEAN/pak works with hundreds of different disinfectants found on the EPA’s List N of disinfectant products so you’re not limited to one brand or type of disinfectant. It’s simple to use with no special training or equipment needed, just add garden hoses. It’s fast because it can last up to 5 hours without refilling cleaners and doesn’t require batteries or engines to operate. It’s safe using regular tap water as the primary ingredient to mix with solutions. Lastly, its patented and proven control valve system ensures the exact mix of disinfectant to water so everyone can be secure knowing the area is truly safe for use.

KLEAN/pak works on anything you’d clean with lots of water. Use it on Outdoor Restaurant Seating, Kids Play Places, Shopping Carts, Animal Boarding and Kennels, Building Walkways and Entrances, Garbage Collection, Common Shower Areas, Playgrounds, Parks Benches, Picnic Tables, Public Shelters, Stadiums, Delivery Trucks, Amusement Parks, Golf Carts or Boats.

Knowing the CFR of COVID-19 allows for an objective standard by which to compare both non-pharmaceutical interventions and medical countermeasures, said Dr. Shira Miller

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)
June 05, 2020

The public has been made aware of the number of COVID-19 deaths and reported cases that have occurred since the beginning of the current pandemic; however, the number of unreported cases has not been widely known or publicized. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that more than one-third of SARS-CoV-2 (the coronavirus that can lead to COVID-19) infections are asymptomatic, meaning that initial estimations of its severity were grossly overestimated. Now, for the first time, Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has collated data from U.S. antibody studies and produced an educational document outlining how an accurate case-fatality rate (CFR) requires antibody studies in order to guide and measure medical care and public health policies.

Similar to CDC estimations, PIC’s analysis results in a COVID-19 CFR of 0.26%, which is comparable to the CFRs of previous seasonal and pandemic flu periods. “Knowing the CFR of COVID-19 allows for an objective standard by which to compare both non-pharmaceutical interventions and medical countermeasures,” said Dr. Shira Miller, PIC’s founder and president. “For example, safety studies of any potential COVID-19 vaccine should be able to prove whether or not the risks of the vaccine are less than the risks of the infection.

“Regardless of proof of safety, however, a potential COVID-19 vaccine should only be voluntary, in order to safeguard a patient’s human right to determine what will happen with his or her body,” said Dr. Miller.

To view PIC’s educational document on assessing COVID-19 severity, visit physiciansforinformedconsent.org/COVID-19.

Physicians for Informed Consent is a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics. PIC delivers data on infectious diseases and vaccines, and unites doctors, scientists, healthcare professionals, attorneys, and families who support voluntary vaccination. In addition, the PIC Coalition for Informed Consent consists of more than 200 U.S. and international organizations. To learn more or to become a member, please visit physiciansforinformedconsent.org

Image from Mercy’s newly constructed Bunting Center 17th floor acute care unit.

“Mercy is proud this important project was completed and operationalized in record time to enable expanded, specialized acute and intensive care for COVID-19 patients,” said Thomas R. Mullen, President & CEO of Mercy Health Services.

BALTIMORE (PRWEB)
June 05, 2020

Mercy Medical Center announced today the completion of a newly constructed unit on the 17th Floor of the Mary Catherine Bunting Center main hospital in downtown Baltimore. The new state-of-the art unit was completed in record time, ahead of schedule, in partnership with The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company. The 32-bed acute care unit became fully operational, with staff and equipment, and has treated patients diagnosed with COVID-19 as of June 1st.

In response to Maryland Governor Larry Hogan’s call in mid-March to increase hospital bed capacity statewide to address the COVID-19 public health emergency, Mercy was the first hospital in the state to seek and receive Emergency Certificate of Need (CON) approval from the Maryland Health Care Commission to construct an entirely new hospital unit. Construction began swiftly with an aggressive 75-day deadline and was ultimately completed by Whiting-Turner in 64 days from the time of State CON approval. Whiting-Turner also provided critical short-term financing to allow the $12.5 million project to move forward immediately.

“Mercy is proud this important project was completed and operationalized in record time to enable expanded, specialized acute and intensive care for COVID-19 patients,” said Thomas R. Mullen, President & CEO of Mercy Health Services. “Public health experts and State officials agree it is also critical for Maryland to have additional hospital bed capacity—a key building block of the State’s recovery plan—in the event of a potential second COVID-19 surge. Mercy and hospitals throughout the State have all worked together to be more prepared than ever to serve the people of Maryland.”

“This project embodies Mercy’s mission of service to the greater Baltimore region to provide high-quality health services in a safe environment of compassionate care,” said David Maine, M.D. Executive Vice President of Mercy Health Services. “We thank Governor Hogan for his leadership during this crisis and all State and City agencies that worked collaboratively with Mercy to expedite the project. And, we especially thank the entire team at Whiting-Turner for their remarkable work and steadfast commitment to the highest standards for quality and safety throughout the process.”

“The new Bunting 17 unit is a great demonstration of what can be accomplished when two strong organizations work together seamlessly to execute a project,” said Timothy J. Regan, President & CEO of The Whiting-Turner Contracting. “As the original General Contractor for the Mary Catherine Bunting Center, we were honored to work with Mercy once again and deliver the project ahead of schedule while meeting Mercy’s demands for a high-quality facility.”

The new unit includes advanced technology, physiological monitoring and expanded medical gas capabilities allowing the flexibility for ICU level care for all 32 beds. The state-of-the-art physiological monitors include alarm notifications directly linked to nursing communication devices. The unit includes enhanced HVAC systems to provide negative pressure throughout the floor and 12 additional designated isolation rooms.

The 17-story Mary Catherine Bunting Center main hospital at Mercy opened in 2010, representing a +$400 million investment in downtown Baltimore. The Bunting Center has undergone several significant expansions and upgrades since that time including a $26 million operating room project in 2016 to meet increased demand and a $42 million project to create The Family Childbirth & Children’s Center in 2012.

Founded in 1874 by the Sisters of Mercy, Mercy Medical Center is a university-affiliated medical facility located six blocks north of Baltimore’s famed Inner Harbor. Mercy has a national reputation for women’s health, orthopedics, and other medical disciplines. To learn more about Mercy, visit http://www.mdmercy.com, or MDMercyMedia on Facebook and Twitter.
