Abstract
Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a lipid-enveloped virus that is responsible for the wide spread of COVID-19, a severe respiratory illness. Asymptomatic carriers in conjunction with high infection rates increase the risk of transmission. Prevention of infection in sonographers and their patients directly relies on disinfection protocols for both ultrasound machines and the proximate environment. A broad literature review was conducted using search engines and literature databases to find information regarding best Canadian evidence-based practices for proper disinfection. Research shows that low-level disinfectant is considered widely effective against SARS-CoV-2 and should be used to eliminate viral particles on shared surfaces. Whenever possible, single-use disposable items should be used to reduce cross contamination. Developing proper guidelines and educating sonographers will minimize the risk of exposure and improve ultrasound safety during this COVID-19 pandemic.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
