On Reducing Risk of Microbial Infections On Hospitals & Health Recovery Facilities at Fairfax NOVA Community_One Wisdom Way_ More Copper Touch Surfaces

Our Wise Fairfax County Supervisors have identified “Healthier Community” as a key priority for Fairfax County Residents (Search Fairfax County Website on “Supervisor Priority List” .

Here is an old topic, health benefits of copper touch surface to reduce microbiotic infections, ie, copper surfaces at hostpitals, libraries, Metro Handrails, cooking untencils, and others.

Wikipedia reports that clinical trials at a leading hospital center study published in 2013 reported that installing copper touch surfaced objected reduced microbial infections by 58%. The results of these studies have been confirmed at previous studies mostly at hospitals around the world and in USA. Search “Antimicrobioal copper-alloy Surface” on the internet.

Question: What can be done to promote community education, and strengthen application of this research finding particularly at health facilities such as hospitals, public places, restaurants, health recovery to help reduce microbial infections and strengthen healthy community at Fairfax VA and elsewhere ?

I stopped reading when you used Wikipedia for the basis of your research.

Conversation: I think it is important to start with understanding the value of this topic to all of us as the research results are pretty clear and beneficials.

It did take long time to come to a conclustion that "Copper Touch Surface" helps reduce microbial contamination, particularly beneficial in health facilities such as hospitals, and health facilities, public places.

The latest results were only published in 2013 so it takes time to convert "knolwedge to action" on educational level.

There is no reason not to use Wikipedia, but in this initial learning process, I found many other references to this research and conclusive beneficial evidence that needs now community outreach and education that benefits all of us and our families and communities.

Mr. ThreeNet, does that mean I could defecate on a copper table, and you'd prepare curried bandicoot on that very same suface?

No wonder my bandicoot tastes like shit.

I LOVE curried Bandicoot!

Why don't we create a community bridge for sharing Bandicoot recipes?

Copper has a horrible smell.

toucing any part of the human body may bring microbial transfer, but this is not the topic of focus here.

We are discussing saving lives at hospitals and health services to the public.

Hospital acquired infections are still a major issue in America as a leading cause of infections that can be reduced but not eliminated by use of copper surfaces as has been verified by two government agencies who are among the leading agencies concerned about this issue.
