Examination of bacterial cultures
Pathologic examination and processing of formalin-fixed or otherwise inactivated tissues
Molecular analysis of extracted nucleic acid preparations
Final packaging of specimens for transport to diagnostic laboratories for additional testing (specimens should already be in a sealed, decontaminated primary container)
Using inactivated specimens, such as specimens in nucleic acid extraction buffer
Performing electron microscopic studies with glutaraldehyde-fixed grids
Performing routine antibody or antigen detection tests

Top of PageAnatomic Pathology
The practice of anatomic pathology plays a critical role in determining accurate disease diagnoses by studying organ tissues and fluids. Anatomic pathology includes surgical pathology, histotechnology, cytology, and autopsy.
Risks associated with surgical pathology and some cytology procedures occur when manipulating fresh tissue and body fluids from patients who may have an unknown or known infectious disease, such as COVID-19. Risks are increased in the surgical grossing room during manual specimen handling, tissue dissection, and the preparation of frozen tissue sections using a cryostat. These procedures can result in percutaneous exposures from punctures or cuts, droplet or aerosol exposures from blood and body fluid splashes, and surfaces contaminated with the virus.
Clinical laboratory and support staff need to be aware of these risks and provided effective mitigation procedures. See Information for Laboratories about Coronavirus (COVID-19) for more information.
For information on autopsies, see Collection and Submission of Postmortem Specimens from Deceased Persons with Known or Suspected COVID-19
Note: Anatomic pathology uses different procedures and workflows than those used in clinical pathology, and therefore the risks and mitigation controls needed to protect personnel may be different. At a minimum, all personnel—whether practicing anatomic or clinical pathology should follow Standard Precautions | Section IV when handling clinical specimens, including hand hygiene and the use of PPE, such as laboratory coats or gowns, gloves, eye protection or a disposable mask and face shield, to help protect the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Top of PageProcedures with a High Likelihood of Generating Droplets or Aerosols
Many routine laboratory procedures can generate aerosols and droplets that are often undetectable. For example, the following laboratory procedures have been associated with the generation of infectious aerosols and droplets: centrifugation, pipetting, vortexing, mixing, shaking, sonicating, removing caps, decanting liquids, preparing smears, flaming slides, aliquoting and loading specimens, loading syringes, manipulating needles, syringes or sharps, aspirating and transferring blood and body fluids, subculturing blood culture bottles, spilling specimens, and cleaning up spills.
Procedures with a high likelihood of generating aerosols or droplets should be conducted using either a certified Class II BSC or additional precautions to provide a barrier between the specimen and personnel. Examples of these additional precautions include centrifuge safety cups, sealed centrifuge rotors to reduce the risk of exposure to laboratory personnel, and additional PPE, such as an N95 respirator or disposable mask with a face shield.
Site- and activity-specific biosafety risk assessments should be performed to determine if additional biosafety precautions are warranted based on situational needs, such as high testing volumes.
Aerosols and droplets containing particles <100 μm in diameter are not visible to the naked eye. Laboratory workers may not be aware that such particles are being generated during many laboratory procedures. These particles could be inhaled or could cross-contaminate work surfaces, materials, and equipment.
Infectious aerosols are small liquid or solid particles suspended in the air that contain infectious agents. They can disperse throughout the laboratory and remain infective over time and distance. These particles are of a size that may be inhaled into the lower respiratory tract (<5 μm in diameter).

StarChild: Space Wardrobe
underwear.

 While working outside of the Shuttle during a mission, astronauts 
wear an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU). 
This suit has interchangeable parts so it can be assembled to fit different 
astronauts. This makes the suit more cost effective since it can be reused. 
The EMU has a liquid cooling garment, which is a one piece suit made of spandex,
and keeps the astronaut cool while in the suit. The unit also contains 
headphones and microphones, a drink bag which carries water, a life support 
system containing oxygen, and a urine collection device. Gloves are included 
with the unit along with a helmet and a visor. All of this is necessary to 
protect the astronaut from micrometeoroids, solar radiation, infrared 
radiation, temperature changes, pressure changes, and oxygen deprivation.

 To help the astronaut get around freely while performing a spacewalk, a 
manned maneuvering unit (MMU) can be attached to the EMU.
The MMU is a nitrogen propelled backpack that allows the astronaut to fly with 
precision. The MMU has a 35mm camera attached to it so that the astronaut can
take pictures while in flight.

A Question
 Why is it necessary for an astronaut to wear a spacesuit while 
 performing a spacewalk?

Space History Is Made in This NASA Robot Factory
Engineers began to realize that specialized clean rooms and cleaning processes were needed to build successful missions."When JPL started, we knew more about spacecraft than anybody else - and we knew nothing," said Arden Acord, a systems engineer who began working at JPL in 1971. "We learned a lot of things along the way."Many of his first coworkers had built the Sergeant and Corporal missiles when JPL was still a U.S. Army lab. Acord was a self-described long-haired hippie working alongside guys with crew cuts: "It was a tough club to break into for a while. But eventually I became accepted." He went on to help build the twin Viking orbiters, which carried the first successful Mars landers, Voyager 1 and 2, and Galileo and Cassini.Two Rooms for Earth and BeyondAlmost all the spacecraft Acord worked on were built in High Bay 1, which in 1973 became what's known as a Class 10,000 clean room. That means there are fewer than 10,000 particles of 0.5 microns or larger in size per cubic foot of air volume (0.5 microns is about 200 times smaller than the width of a human hair).Opened in 1976, High Bay 2 is a Class 10,000 clean room as well. The air in both rooms cycles about 70 times per hour through extensive filtration systems. To keep the workers comfortable, High Bay 2 is kept at 70 degrees, while High Bay 1 is kept at 68 degrees.Deep space missions tend to be bigger and require more ground equipment, so they typically go in High Bay 1 and involve more gowning for planetary protection purposes. Being the smaller of the pair, High Bay 2 is more suitable for the spacecraft of Earth science missions. The high bays' hangar-door dimensions determine the maximum size of the spacecraft that can be built within.Keeping It CleanOf course, filtered air is only part of what makes a clean room clean."The level of cleanliness changes depending on the spacecraft you're building," said Roger Francis, the building's facility manager. "If you have special lenses, like a telescope, it requires more effort to make sure particles don't affect your instruments."
Consumer Guide to Funeral and Cemetery Purchases - Cemetery and Funeral Bureau
Additionally, a funeral establishment must refrigerate an unembalmed body in its possession if burial or cremation does not take place within 24 hours. (See exception under Home Death Care.) As a practical matter, however, you may wish to authorize embalming if there will be a delay before a public viewing. Keep in mind that embalming does not prevent decomposition of a body.
(NOTE: A coroner may require embalming in certain circumstances.)
Cremation
The law does not require the purchase of a casket before cremation.
(A combustible cremation container, typically referred to as an alternative container, is required. See Cremation.)
Burial
The law does not require outer burial containers, commonly known as vaults or grave liners, but cemeteries may require them because they keep the ground from settling after burial. Typically, vaults completely surround the casket in concrete or other material. Grave liners cover only the top and sides. Neither container will prevent the eventual decomposition of human remains.
Natural burial, also referred to as green or eco-friendly burial, is a way of caring for the dead with minimal environmental impact, often without a casket or burial container. The body is typically not embalmed and may be encased in biodegradable materials for burial. Talk to cemetery staff if youre interested in this option.
Home Death Care
The use of a funeral establishment and funeral director is not required by law when preparing a body for disposition. You can arrange for your body, or that of a loved one, to be cared for and prepared for disposition by family and friends at home. If you choose home death care, you must:

File a properly completed Certificate of Death, signed by the attending physician or coroner, with the local registrar of births and deaths.
Obtain a Permit for Disposition from the local registrar of births and deaths.
Provide a casket or other suitable container.
Make arrangements directly with the cemetery or crematory.

Your local county health department may be able to help you file a Certificate of Death and/or a Permit for Disposition.
Rocky Mountain MIRECC for Suicide Prevention - Talking to Kids (T2K) about Suicide - MIRECC / CoE
Keep checking in with your teenager. This will send the message that you are open to answering questions over time. Be honest.
Offer extra support, affection and attention during this time (family meals, time together).
Be prepared to discuss concerns about whether your teenager is at risk for similar behaviors.

Other ways to support your teenager:

For the younger teens, help them keep healthy structure in their daily routines, such as homework time, dinnertime, and bedtime routines.
For older teenagers, who are more independent and more likely to structure the majority of their own time, you can talk to and encourage them in practicing self-care. “Dad is in the hospital now, but we both would like to see you keep on doing such a good job with your school work. You said it helps you to sleep if you work out after school. Would you like to invite Paul to go with you to the gym this week?”
While providing stability, also remain flexible to a teenager’s needs during a disruptive time.
Get other support people involved (family, friends or clergy). This will benefit you and in turn benefit your teen.
Although it’s normal for many teenagers to avoid parent’s affection, don’t be surprised if he needs more physical comfort during a stressful time.
Teenagers can regress when stressed, and may act like they did during younger stages of development.
As the parent/relative who has been hospitalized becomes more stable, visiting them in the hospital and attending a family therapy session with a mental health professional could be quite helpful and reassuring.
Show appreciation for your teenager taking on additional tasks while you attend to the relative’s needs.
Teenagers may benefit from discussing boundaries about disclosing information with friends, classmates and on social media outlets.

What to say to your child

Try To

Examples

Start with her level of awareness and understanding of the situation.

“Last night your brother was having a difficult time. What do you remember?”

Use her level of understanding and questions about the event as a guide when describing what happened.

“As you’ve noticed, Mom has been feeling depressed lately and drinking alcohol to cope.
