Spoiler: surgical infections mostly come from patients' own microbiomes (and article is not about covid).
This makes me wonder about people with eczema, which is related to higher-than-usual staph bacteria levels on the skin. Do eczema patients have commensurately higher rates of surgical infections?
I'm curious if any medical or science people here have insight on that.
