Are hospitals and doctors’ offices still clinging to the face diaper mandate ?

I'm going to the dentist tomorrow at 8 am. I'll find out. This office has been absolutely insane about masks. I spent less than a minute masked in the waiting lobby, then unmasked in the chair for 30 to 60 minutes, then put the thing on for the 30 second walk out the front door.

Sheer lunacy.

At least they stopped the stupidity of you having to call them, them coming to the door to admit you (after taking your temp), and escorting you to the chair.

I'm going in for a colonoscopy in three weeks. I need a COVID test three days in advance and I'm supposed to "self isolate" for the three days after the test. Yeah, right, I'm going to lock myself in my house for three days wearing a mask the whole time.

Two years of utter insanity. The damn things don't do a thing! Eleven states never had mask mandates; 39 did. Here are the 11 compared to the 39:

Yes, they are. It infuriates me.

Many hospitals definitely are.

The bottom line is that if we all lived in a sterile bubble we would be protected against infections. But who wants to or can live in a sterile bubble? (Not that masks are equivalent to sterile bubbles. They’re definitely not).

My doctors office here in Texas required one today and still doing temperature checks before you can check in.

In Tucson, some are and some aren’t. Our eye doctor hasn’t required masks for about a year now, and one or two of my wife’s doctors have quit the mask silliness recently. Our dentist is an old-timer and never did require masks as far as I know.
