I just told you all you needed to know in my post, so everything you have said was completely pointless. As for your comment regarding a "barrier", do you happen to carry one around with you in your pocket then? Jesus christ you come out with some opinionated bullshit,
no it wasnt pointless you said and i qoute:
chest compressions alone are more than enough
which is wrong.
just as you said you felt the risks were too high and having done first aid you should have been told as part of the course about barriers. And yes i do have a barrier in my bag in my first aid kit at all times....
You can also use plastic with a hole poked through for limited protection if necessary. Offers less protection due to no one way valve but better than none as you have no physical contact.
at least my opinionated bullshit on first aid isnt potentially unsafe.....
