Seems like a no brainer. Easy (albeit it, yes, imperfect) way to cut down transmission in the most vulnerable settings.
I just feel bad for the nurses etc who are going to have to deal with grown ass people throwing temper tantrums.
I just got another 1 star review for the place I work, because some employees still choose to wear masks. If covid taught me anything, it's how absolutely idiotic and unreasonable a large chunk of our species is.
During the height of covid we had people angrily recording us while yelling at us for abusing the rights of our customers by following the provincial mandates. Local restaurant where the owner was refusing to comply got awarded with the best business owner award.
Although it's always been an industry standard to try our hardest and be yelled at and abused by the general public as if we'd spit into their coffee.
At this point I fucking hate our species.
That sucks so much. Sorry you had/have to deal with such goddamn jerks.
Right? Even if COVID died off entirely, it just makes sense to require masks in hospitals. At least in certain areas where people are more vulnerable to viruses. It keeps patients safer, it keeps healthcare workers safer, and it keeps me safer even if I’m just visiting.
This to me is like restaurant workers washing their hands. Why wouldn’t we require it?
