Jeff Amy and Sudhin Thanawala The Associated Press ATLANTA – Workers at a northeast Georgia poultry plant said they escaped through a fog of vaporizing liquid nitrogen that killed six of their coworkers, as an investigation continued Friday into the cause of the leak at Foundation Foods Group.  The Hall County Sheriff’s Office identified the victims on Friday as: 45-year-old Jose DeJesus Elias-Cabrera of Gainesville; 35-year-old Corey Alan Murphy of Clermont; 28-year-old Nelly Perez-Rafael of Gainesville; 41-year-old Saulo Suarez-Bernal of Dawsonville; 38-year-old Victor Vellez of Gainesville; and 28-year-old Edgar Vera-Garcia of Gainesville. Four people remained hospitalized, said Beth Downs, a spokesperson for Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, with three in critical condition and one in fair condition.

Local vocal expert: Save your voice while wearing a mas

Face masks have become an increasingly important part of society throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and while they help stop the spread of the virus, they also make communicating effectively more challenging. According to Eleonor Shaw, Speech Language Pathologist with the Rehabilitation Institute of Northeast Georgia Medical Center, research shows masks can reduce the volume of a person’s speech by between three to 12 decibels. When wearing a mask, people are also unable to use visual cues, such as the movement of another person’s mouth, to fully comprehend what is being said. The drop in vocal volume and lack of visual cues can cause a speaker to strain their voice to communicate effectively, according to Shaw.
