Hospitals don't care about COVID. (lemmy.ml)

I'm in hospital for a surgery. Staffs don't wear masks. Many of them cough. In the recovery room there is free unlimited access for visitors and you're of course with other patients. Another patient here has three visitors. No masks. No distance. No barriers.

I am trying to discharge myself because I'm legitimately worried I'll catch something from someone else (if I haven't already).

Hospitals don't care about COVID. Why would anyone be surprised about the general population when the most medical institution there is doesn't?

I’ve been in and out of a fair number of hospitals lately. Some people are jaded or tired of it, yes, but I’ve also noticed a big difference between hospital systems. Overall management and enforcement of policies helps keep those things in check. Some hospitals are definitely better at this than others.
