medics in my clinic wear two. Two cheap “NO PROTECTION AGAINST COVID19” warning on the box splash guard masks. NOT N95 masks. Nobody (except me, and I bought boatloads of them years ago) wears these when examining patients.
cloth masks? like gnats flying through a chain-link hurricane fence.
Useless. Unless WHO, CDC and St. Anthony frickin’ Fasci is TRYING to increase rates of infection which has happened everywhere mask mandates are in place all over the world.
ZERO-SUM-GAME.
LOL, we don’t have a mask mandate in my County. All doctors, nurses, etc. wear them and some wear two. They don’t seem to take it seriously though. I see them pull them down to talk and wear them below their noses. They do require all of the patients to wear them. When I saw the doctor last week her nurse pulled my mask down to stick a thermometer in my mouth instead of using one of the forehead thermometers. I think they are more afraid of getting sued for not implementing CDC instructions than anything. I have always worn one during flu season per my asthma doctor but I doubt they do much for COVID. She has always had a sign in the office that says “if you are sick, please take a wear a mask” and she provides them.
The only thing my doctor did say was when she asked if I had my flu shot and I said no. She said get it because if I get the flu and COVID at the same time they will bury me. I’m 66 with asthma.
