I don’t recall my dentist ever using a mask until AIDS came along.
I knew my dentist socially and he was freaking out the weekend he found out one of his patients had AIDS
went through all of his records that Saturday night to see if that kid might have bled during any of his dental work
Kid was my Ex wife’s cousin...he died a couple years later
A male surgical nurse from my small hometown lasted a few years longer, but his mother wanted an open casket to let everyone see what it had done to him
Early 30s, but looked liked he was 110 yo and had been dead for 20 of them
