Public comment to CDC HICPAC committee November 2024
Infection control in healthcare.
My public comment to the CDC HICPAC Committee.
Direct link to my comment in the stream.
Direct link to the start of the whole comment period.
Day 2 of the meeting link, with another session of public comments then the vote.
I’m Chloe Humbert. Semmelweis is known for his campaign for hand washing standards. He was attacked by contrarians until his death. Today he is vindicated yet respiratory hygiene is the science denier flavour of the day.  It’s not okay that doctors and nurses are maskless and breathing directly on patients who then get infected. Now is the chance for those in positions to do so to set a precedent for deserved protection of worker and patient safety. To be on record giving evidence based practitioners something to hang onto.  We are going back.   The only question is how far back people in medical leadership are willing to sign onto. The announced incoming department of defense secretary is someone who said on national tv that he doesn’t wash his hands. We know what can happen because of what has happened before.  In the 1850s Florence Nightingale went to the Crimean War - a hospital in Constantinople. That's Istanbul now, and that situation was no Turkish delight on a moonlit night. She arrived at a British military base ATOP a cesspool where patients lay in their own feces among rodents and more soldiers died from infectious diseases than injuries in battle. Under Nightingale the place was scrubbed and she reduced the facility’s death rate by two thirds. We might go back further.  The Dark Ages was called that because society moved backwards from the technological advances that had come before. The fall of the Roman Eempire was marked by elites who only cared about the status quo; they could’ve developed a steam engine as far back as Heron in 15 BC but didn’t bother.  Going forward is a choice.  In an article in the Journal of Infectious Diseases & Preventive Medicine there’s a description of what happened back then. “In medieval times, hospitals were hazardous places, Epidemic infections killed large numbers of hospital patients during this period. Hospital infection and death rates were high. When a sick person entered a hospital, his or her property was disposed of, and in some regions, a requiem mass was held, as if he or she had already died.” Going backward is a choice.  We know better now. We use surgical gloves, autoclaves, disinfectants, checklists and yes, respirator masks exist. But big healthcare corporations don't wanna pay for that, they lock up PPE, force nurses to work without sick leave at hospitals, and make patients beg for reasonable accommodation.  Going forward is a choice.  Let this not be a case of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. But a time when serious healthcare professional leadership takes a stand for sanitary conditions in healthcare, and makes respirator masks and the precautionary principle the standard of care instead doing with masks what would be like calculating whether you should wash your hands after the toilet based on age or health status.

The Ocean Sciences Building at the University of Washington in Seattle is a brightly modern, four-story structure, with large glass windows reflecting the bay across the street.
On the afternoon of July 7, 2016, it was being slowly locked down.
Red lights began flashing at the entrances as students and faculty filed out under overcast skies. Eventually, just a handful of people remained inside, preparing to unleash one of the most destructive forces in the natural world: the crushing weight of about 2½ miles of ocean water.
In the building’s high-pressure testing facility, a black, pill-shaped capsule hung from a hoist on the ceiling. About 3 feet long, it was a scale model of a submersible called Cyclops 2, developed by a local startup called OceanGate. The company’s CEO, Stockton Rush, had cofounded the company in 2009 as a sort of submarine charter service, anticipating a growing need for commercial and research trips to the ocean floor. At first, Rush acquired older, steel-hulled subs for expeditions, but in 2013 OceanGate had begun designing what the company called “a revolutionary new manned submersible.” Among the sub’s innovations were its lightweight hull, which was built from carbon fiber and could accommodate more passengers than the spherical cabins traditionally used in deep-sea diving. By 2016, Rush’s dream was to take paying customers down to the most famous shipwreck of them all: the Titanic, 3,800 meters below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.
Engineers carefully lowered the Cyclops 2 model into the testing tank nose-first, like a bomb being loaded into a silo, and then screwed on the tank’s 3,600-pound lid. Then they began pumping in water, increasing the pressure to mimic a submersible’s dive. If you’re hanging out at sea level, the weight of the atmosphere above you exerts 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). The deeper you go, the stronger that pressure; at the Titanic’s depth, the pressure is about 6,500 psi. Soon, the pressure gauge on UW’s test tank read 1,000 psi, and it kept ticking up—2,000 psi, 5,000 psi. At about the 73-minute mark, as the pressure in the tank reached 6,500 psi, there was a sudden roar and the tank shuddered violently.
“I felt it in my body,” an OceanGate employee wrote in an email later that night. “The building rocked, and my ears rang for a long time.”
“Scared the shit out of everyone,” he added.
The model had imploded thousands of meters short of the safety margin OceanGate had designed for.
In the high-stakes, high-cost world of crewed submersibles, most engineering teams would have gone back to the drawing board, or at least ordered more models to test. Rush’s company didn’t do either of those things. Instead, within months, OceanGate began building a full-scale Cyclops 2 based on the imploded model. This submersible design, later renamed Titan, eventually made it down to the Titanic in 2021. It even returned to the site for expeditions the next two years. But nearly one year ago, on June 18, 2023, Titan dove to the infamous wreck and imploded, instantly killing all five people onboard, including Rush himself.
The disaster captivated and horrified the world. Deep-sea experts criticized OceanGate’s choices, from Titan’s carbon-fiber construction to Rush’s public disdain for industry regulations, which he believed stifled innovation. Organizations that had worked with OceanGate, including the University of Washington as well as the Boeing Company, released statements denying that they contributed to Titan.
A trove of tens of thousands of internal OceanGate emails, documents, and photographs provided exclusively to WIRED by anonymous sources sheds new light on Titan’s development, from its initial design and manufacture through its first deep-sea operations. The documents, validated by interviews with two third-party suppliers and several former OceanGate employees with intimate knowledge of Titan, reveal never-before-reported details about the design and testing of the submersible. They show that Boeing and the University of Washington were both involved in the early stages of OceanGate’s carbon-fiber sub project, although their work did not make it into the final Titan design. The trove also reveals a company culture in which employees who questioned their bosses’ high-speed approach and decisions were dismissed as overly cautious or even fired. (The former employees who spoke to WIRED have asked not to be named for fear of being sued by the families of those who died aboard the vessel.) Most of all, the documents show how Rush, blinkered by his own ambition to be the Elon Musk of the deep seas, repeatedly overstated OceanGate’s progress and, on at least one occasion, outright lied about significant problems with Titan’s hull, which has not been previously reported.
A representative for OceanGate, which ceased all operations last summer, declined to comment on WIRED’s findings.

AI search is not a search engine, it’s just dysfunctional. 
The Washington Post burns its own archive Indignity Vol. 4, No. 216 Tom Scocca 09 Dec 2024 LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA VIRGINIA DEP'T. Artificial Intelligence Means You Can't Read the Newspaper Anymore No one who cared about the purpose of the Washington Post or the purpose of the Washington Post archive would have ever allowed the Ask The Post AI to be deployed. But the world has allowed the management of knowledge to be taken over by ignoramuses, and now the ignoramuses have built ignoramus machines in their own image, manufacturing non-knowledge on a scale previously unimaginable. 
My letter to reps: 
AI has been polluting ways to search for things. It makes getting things done harder, and with huge amounts of energy expenditure, and all for nothing or to give people misinformation, sometimes dangerous misinformation. We should not be forced to use this stuff in order to access information on the internet.
Please feel free to copy or repurpose the contents of my letter for your own letters to reps.
AP - Cats on the moon? Google’s AI tool is producing misleading responses that have experts worried - By  MATT O’BRIEN and ALI SWENSON Updated 6:10 PM EST, May 24, 2024 “The more you are stressed or hurried or in a rush, the more likely you are to just take that first answer that comes out,” said Emily M. Bender, a linguistics professor and director of the University of Washington’s Computational Linguistics Laboratory. “And in some cases, those can be life-critical situations.” That’s not Bender’s only concern — and she has warned Google about them for several years. When Google researchers in 2021 published a paper called “Rethinking search” that proposed using AI language models as “domain experts” that could answer questions authoritatively — much like they are doing now — Bender and colleague Chirag Shah responded with a paper laying out why that was a bad idea.
Listen, I tried the chatbot stuff out, and what I found disturbed me. And what the hell is it with cats in space anyhow?
Cats in Wonderland - the Uncanny Valley of lying AIs It’s just a huge coincidence that AI chatbot services are very much like a lot of other tech products with problematic tradeoffs and just happen to be useful to a lot of the same questionable actors.

𝐗𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑
The steady hum of the car engine ceases as he parks in front of the diner. It’s well-known that Xavier uses public transportation rather than personal vehicles, so you’ve been teaching him to drive, and today was his first time navigating city streets after practicing in the borrowed car. His driving was okay, and he’s following traffic laws—it doesn’t look like he’s a beginner.
“I hope that was acceptable,” he says, turning to look at you for approval.
“Yeah, you did great,” you smile at him. “I’m going to check their specials,” you exit the car, slamming the door.
Through the window, you notice Xavier’s eyes widen slightly. He remains frozen, hands still gripping the wheel at exactly ten and two, blinking slowly, processing.
You return to the driver’s side, tapping the window. When he rolls it down, you ask, “Did you want the chicken sandwich or burger?”
“Chicken sandwich, ple—” before he can finish his answer, you turn and slam the passenger door shut again. Returning to see his reaction, his expression has cracked. His brows are furrowed, and he’s staring at the door like it just offended him.
“Did I... drive the car incorrectly?” he finally asks when you return. “Were you mad at me because I drove too slow? If I endangered your safety—”
You can’t hold back your laughter anymore. His confusion only deepens until you explain the prank, watching as relief floods his features.

𝐙𝐀𝐘𝐍𝐄
Rain patters against the sleek black Audi as Zayne pulls up to the curb. His shift at the hospital ran late, as usual, but he still came to pick you up precisely when promised, not a minute late.
“Sorry about the wait,” he says, checking his watch. “There was an emergency that I needed to handle earlier.”
You slide into the passenger seat and slam the door with enough force to make the car shake. He stares at you for a few seconds—searching for signs of distress.
“Everything okay?” he asks.
“Just tired,” you respond casually, launching into a story about your day.
His shoulders relax marginally as he drives, one hand occasionally brushing yours. The rain intensifies as you reach your destination.
“I’ll call you tomorrow,” you say, exiting and slamming the door even harder than before.
Within seconds, Zayne is out of the car, heedless of the downpour soaking his shirt.
“What’s going on?” he asks, standing close. “The car door isn’t engineered for that level of force.” His voice softens slightly. “If something’s bothering you, I’d prefer you tell me directly rather than taking it out on my car.”
When you confess it’s just a prank, his expression shifts from concern to exasperation. He pulls you under the shelter in front of your apartment building, shaking his head. “Never mind. I’ll stop by your place for a while. Wait for me inside.”
Tumblr media
𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐋
Rafayel’s sports car gleams under the afternoon sun as he pulls into the gas station, humming along to the radio. The salt air whips through his hair as he occasionally points out interesting cloud formations or particularly vibrant patches of wildflowers. His latest exhibition has left him in high spirits for some reason.
“Need to stretch my legs,” you announce as the car stops.
You exit, slamming the door. Rafayel visibly flinches, his languid posture suddenly rigid. His eyes widen in genuine shock as he physically jumps, mouth dropping open.
“Are you trying to dismantle my car?” he calls after you, offense in his voice.
You return to his side of the door just a few seconds after you left the car. “Want anything from inside?” you ask sweetly.
“Want some of those little crunchy—” he begins, but before he can finish, you slam his door shut, the wind from the motion ruffling his carefully styled hair. His mouth drops open, utterly scandalized.
“Are you attempting to decapitate me now?” he exclaims. “This is a limited edition!”
When you return with snacks and slam the door a third time, he drapes himself dramatically over the steering wheel.
“My car, my hair, my peace—all victims of your violence today,” he laments. He snatches his chips from your hand. But a smile tugs at his lips as he watches you unwrap a chocolate bar. “You’re lucky I adore you, or I’d leave you at this gas station for such crimes.”
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐘𝐋𝐔𝐒
The sleek black vehicle purrs to a stop at the upscale service station. Sylus checks his watch—still ahead of schedule for your weekend getaway.
“I need fuel,” he states, unbuckling his seatbelt. “For both the car and myself. We’ll reach the border by nightfall.”
“I’ll grab some snacks,” you slammed the door, the sound echoes across the quiet station.
Sylus pauses, one eyebrow raised at the unexpected disturbance. His gaze follows you as you walk toward the store.
You return moments later, opening his side of the car door. “Preferences?”
“Anything you’re getting,” he replies, but before he can say more, you slam the door again, practically in his face. This time, a small smile plays on his lips as he watches you walk away. The second slam was deliberate��he’s certain of it now.
When you return and slam the door a third time after settling in, he turns to you with amused eyes.
“Are we finished assaulting my car, or should I expect further acts of aggression?” he asks, voice laced with dry humor. “Though I do admire your commitment to the bit. Almost as much as I admire how you think you can get away with it.”
His hand slides over yours, thumb tracing circles. “I’ll remember this when we reach our destination.”

𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐁
Caleb whistles as he pulls into the driveway, his silver Lamborghini reflecting the sunset. He’d been animatedly recounting a flight maneuver demonstration all the way home, his hands occasionally leaving the wheel to illustrate his points. The day’s meetings at the Fleet headquarters have left him exhausted, but seeing you always brightens his mood as he tells you about his day.
He parks precisely in his designated spot. “Finally home,” he sighs contentedly, killing the engine.
Before he can say another word, you’re out of your seat, slamming the car door with tremendous force. Through the window, you see him freeze mid-sentence, staring at the door.
He exits slowly, keys dangling from his fingers, watching as you walk toward the front door. “That was quite an exit,” he remarks, voice deceptively light.
When you don’t respond, he follows, only to find himself suddenly lifting you off the ground. Caleb has scooped you up in one fluid motion, tossing you over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
“So, you’re feeling destructive today?” he asks, a dangerous playfulness in his tone. “That’s some way to treat my baby.”
His grip tightens slightly as he navigates through the doorway. “I think someone needs to learn how to treat valuable things with care,” he murmurs against your ear. “I think I know exactly how to make sure you remember to be gentle with my things. Starting with a lesson about handling my possessions.”

This was funnier in my head 😭

When you moved in with Nanami Kento, despite having spent countless days and nights there prior, he insisted upon orienting you to the penthouse.
"The rubbish is collected on Tuesdays, unless there's a public holiday, in which case it's collected on Wednesday," Kento droned, as if he'd rehearsed his lines in advance.
You followed him, pulling a suitcase behind you with a fixed expression of earnest interest. You pursed your lips, trying not to laugh every time he turned his back to you, before schooling your expression again the second he looked back.
"Okay, Kento. Wednesday, got it. Anyway, I thought we could order some takeout, and celebrate--"
"No." He snipped, turning back to you with narrowed eyes, "Tuesday, unless there's a public holiday, in which case--"
"--it's collected Wednesday. Okay. I hear you."
Kento narrowed his eyes a little more. You stood to attention. A heartbeat passed.
"Good." Kento looked down, ticking something off his list, and you felt yourself wither and die with equal parts adoration and exasperation.
"Next, fire safety."
"Oh, god--"
"Pardon?"
"Oh, god, I love fire safety!"
"Good. We have lots to cover. First of all, the designated fire exits are marked on the map, here, here, and here."
"This, er...this laminated one?"
"Yes. I have one too."
"Oh, we match~<3"
"It's important that we're both adhering to the same protocol."
As Kento continued, highlighting fire doors, and escape routes, and emergency contact details, your mind began to wander. His voice, while deep and smooth, ran monotonous when left to run for too long, and your eyelids drooped, your arm sagging on your suitcase handle, and--
"Are you listening?"
"Me? God, yes, I love...water based fire extinguishers. I use them on everything."
Kento prickled, a shiver rippling up his beige suit from toe to shoulder, "I certainly hope not, water can only be used on wood fires, or--"
"--or my flaming hot pussy, because this is really getting my engine goi--"
"--I feel like you're not taking fire safety seriously."
"Kento...please--"
"Because it excites me when fire safety is taken seriously."
When Kento turned his back again, you turned too, dropping your suitcase and dragging your palms down your face, a silently screaming oil-paint figure on a bridge.
"Regarding bathroom etiquette," Kento toned, his voice flat, as you thudded your head once against the drywall. By the time he leaned around the corner to look at you, you smiled, bright and attentive.
"What was that noise?"
"I...jumped. Out of...excitement."
Another silence. Another narrowing of the eyes.
"Good," Kento pipped, "as I was saying, regarding bathroom etiquette, I hope you're not one of those reprobates that squeezes from the middle of the tube--"
"Oh, no, I prefer to suck it straight from the tube--"
"--I beg your pardon--"
"--Kento, are you anxious?" Kento froze with his back to you. The toothpaste lid squeezed off with force in his hand, clattering across the bathroom floor. A slow coil of toothpaste squeezed out of the tube, to slug down his clenched fist.
You crept closer, and slipped a hand under Kento's suit jacket to his lower back, and stroked it. You felt the tautness in the muscles beneath his shirt, as rigid as a door of oak.
"Are you anxious about me moving in?" You repeated, your voice soft. Kento swallowed, hard.
"How...how could you tell?"
You sighed. When you turned Kento to face you, he could hardly maintain eye contact, looking anywhere but at you. You could see the worry beneath his thin facade.
"Nothing's going to change," you whispered, cupping his cheeks in your palms, "and if it does change, it'll change for the better. And I can't wait. I can't wait for...for every late night, and every early morning. I can't wait for every hug, and every argument, and every day off where we can just wake up in each other's arms, and say good morning instead of texting each other good morning."
Kento melted into your touch, his palm rising to cup yours against his cheek. His voice was tight, exerting control in what little way he could.
"I'm just determined to get this right. You're everything to me, and if I got this wrong I'd never forgive myself."
"There's nothing to get wrong. Or, if there is, it doesn't matter, because we know we're safe together. We'll forgive each other. Alright?"
Kento sighed through his nose, pressing a kiss to your palm. "Just tell me one thing."
"What is it?"
"...do you really not know which fire extinguisher to use for an electrical fire--"
"You are joking, Kento."
"I never joke about fire safety."

Structural, MEPH, and Building Services: The Pillars of Building Excellence
In the realm of construction, there exists a complex and fascinating world of acronyms, plans, and blueprints, each contributing to the creation of remarkable structures. Among these, three crucial components stand as the unsung heroes that make architectural dreams come true. These components are Structural Engineering, MEPH (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Heating) Systems, and Building Services.
Tumblr media
While the average person may not be familiar with these terms, they are the unyielding pillars that uphold the principles of building excellence. Together, they ensure that every structure, whether it's a towering skyscraper or a cozy home, is not just a work of art but a functional, safe, and sustainable living space.
Demystifying the Pillars: Structural Engineering
At the core of every building, there's a skeletal system, often hidden from plain sight. This is where structural engineering comes into play. Structural engineers design the framework that supports the entire structure. This framework includes everything from the foundation that keeps the building standing to the beams and columns that distribute the weight. In essence, structural engineering is the backbone, and without a strong backbone, the building would crumble.
MEPH: The Unseen Marvel
These are the systems that breathe life into any building. Here's what each component represents:
Mechanical Systems: These systems manage heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). They ensure that a building's climate is comfortable and that the air remains fresh.
Electrical Systems: The electrical systems in a building are the circulatory system of the modern world. They provide the power needed to light the rooms, run appliances, and charge your devices.
Plumbing Systems: Plumbing engineers design the systems that deliver clean water and remove waste. They bring us clean drinking water and ensure that wastewater is safely carried away.
Heating Systems: During cold winters or chilly nights, heating systems provide warmth and comfort. Whether it's central heating, radiant floors, or HVAC systems, they are designed by MEPH engineers.
Building Services: Putting the Pieces Together
Building Services is like the conductor of an orchestra, bringing together various elements for harmonious living. It includes facility management, security systems, and elevators, among other things. Building Services ensures that a building runs like a well-oiled machine.
Why Are These Pillars Important?
Safety: Without sound structural engineering, buildings can be dangerous. Weak foundations, improperly designed roofs, or insufficient fire protection systems can lead to disaster. Structural engineering ensures a building's safety.
Functionality: MEPH systems transform a lifeless structure into a comfortable and livable space. Imagine a building without heating or electricity. It makes sure these systems function effectively.
Energy Efficiency: The world is moving toward sustainable practices, and The engineers play a significant role. They design systems that reduce energy consumption, making buildings eco-friendly.
Comfort: Building Services encompasses everything from access control to elevator systems, providing convenience and comfort to occupants.
Innovation: Innovations in structural engineering, MEPH systems, and building services continuously push the boundaries of what is possible in construction. From energy-efficient designs to smart technologies, innovation remains at the heart of these pillars.
Conclusion:
These three pillars—Structural Engineering, MEPH Systems, and Building Services—are the unsung heroes of the construction world. They ensure that buildings are not just marvels of design but safe, functional, energy-efficient, and comfortable spaces where people can live, work, and thrive. The next time you enter a building, take a moment to appreciate the complexity and precision of these hidden pillars of building excellence.
