My kid was in the NICU for 71 days.

The nurses told me "Most infections in the NICU start with medical staff not washing their hands!"

I was an ABSOLUTE NAZI on making sure ANYONE touching my kid washed and sanitized their hands. To the point I told a doctor she WAS NOT going to touch her until I see her wash her damn hands.

My bear never had an infection, and should have been out sooner but the vent techs were pretty nervous on backing her off (once you get on a vent, it takes weeks to get off). Kid decided to pull her tube out, and the attending doc and vent tech sat in the room with her for a day to see if it would hold. It did.

What is interesting is my GP has gone to almost 100% online now. She said "we may be spreading this in the hospitals, and I am not doing it here!" For most things, that will work. For the exceptions that can't they are setting aside "clean" buildings for everyone else. But God have mercy if you get the flu.
