About a year ago we started using a nasal swab for all of our pre-op patient's called Nozin. It has alcohol, Vit E and citrus. Smells really good. Kills germs for about 12 hours. You can even buy it on Amazon.

I mean you can still inhale through your mouth right?
Well, considering it was placed in the Covid thread I was wondering if it was being recommended and had been tested for (if recommended for) the virus. Just seeking clarification is all.
We are using it to decrease post-op infections. When Covid started all the experts said quit touching your face. You would not believe how many people touch, rub, scratch their nose and then without thinking touch their surgical site or touch near it. Nozin contains 62% alcohol. It does help decrease and prevent infection. There are hospitals that are giving it to their employees for prevention. This is about nasal decolonization. Not pushing their product, this is what we use and I am sure there are others out there. Here is a link to their website.

The numbers here are nuts AND THE REPORTS LAG A WEEK BEHIND. 12/2-12/15 there were 170 cases in Roswell. 12/16-12/29 there were 1582 cases. So 1.5% of Roswell "officially" caught COVID over those 2 weeks. That isn't including the people that took a home test and never went to an official testing site.
Numbers here are rising rapidly but hospitalizations and deaths have not had the jump. I’m hoping the reports are true and that this will be a mild variant. I’ve known first several people get it with mild symptoms and are over it within a few days to a week.
For staph I'm sure it does fine, but there's no evidence I'm aware of that it works against COVID-19 when applied to the nares.We are using it to decrease post-op infections.

But you know as well as I do, in a hospital setting, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
A Cardiologist that I follow online featured this article in his weekly letter. Under normal circumstances we experience minimal outside exposure but last week I ended up spending most of the week in a hospital where Covid patients were streaming in. We normally would have N-95's for protection but that is impossible when receiving oxygen or having temperature checked. I would consider it pretty much of a miracle to come out of that without contracting the virus. My thought is using a product similar to this as a prophylactic during the very few times we have risk of exposure. Even if it helped avoid a cold or sinus infection that alone would be a strong plus.

You were basically relying on your vaccination. There's no way you weren't exposed to the virus. Were you wearing a 95 mask?
In the emergency room yes. Changed later to a multi layer surgical type mask(s) in my room. Yes it is definitely tempting fate when everyone involved has likely been exposed to the virus. It was however unavoidable.
Thanks Just ordered a bottle on Amazon for $26.00. Price at Walmart for identical product was $40.00.We are using it to decrease post-op infections.

Sure, if it’s evidence based - which that is not. Glad you understand the need for vaccinations as well.

Learned last night my nephew at the Air Force Academy is Covid pos. Not only was he vaxxed, he got the booster two days before the positive test. No symptoms.

2 lawyers arguing against Biden's vaccine mandate before the Supreme Court will have to do it remotely after testing positive for COVID-19
The Supreme Court on Friday is set to review challenges to the Biden administration's federal vaccine mandates announced last year.

Considering the transmissibility and ability to partially escape the immune system with the new variant that's not a good metric at all. However, those who are boosted have a reduction in risk of infection (depends on vaccine) of 70-88%, which ain't shabby. Prevention of severe disease, hospitalization, and death are even better. Yes, yes, I know this version is "milder", but that does not mean what most seem to think it means. I saw an article today explain that (regarding severe disease/hospitalization) 10% of 3,000 is still less than 3% of 12,000 - in other words the transmissibility and added new infections are likely to cause more illness, death, and disruption of the health system than anything before it.
Oh, for sure - I was just saying these guys catching it isn't very ironic after all.
In fact, they could very well be vaccinated.
