Our state shut down for maybe 2 weeks. But still requiring masks at our local hospital and all affiliated Dr offices. Dumb. Mayo requires them; I go there... more than I wish. I understand the reasoning -- by definition all of the patients are sick, many immunocompromised in the areas I tend to go. Many if not most are elderly. It's not a bad policy to wear masks, not only for Covid but for flu and other diseases which could prove problematic. And masks particularly suck for me, because my speech is difficult to understand with the prosthetic, so it is helpful to read my lips as I talk. Thankfully the main docs I see know that a mask is just decoration for me (I don't breathe through my nose or mouf) so I take the mask off in their office.

No it's a stupid policy unless you're wearing a n95 mask or better. I worked in a chemotherapy center for 20+ years so I get it. But to sit hear and say a piece of cloth on your face helps, well, you're wrong. The CDC got that right months ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who said anything about cloth masks? Mayo hands out dual-layer disposables unless you already have an N95. There are diseases for which such masks could help. My guess is you didn't wear them in the chemo area because it wasn't a thing we did in America. But now that we are accustomed to wearing them (for the most part), I would not be surprised if they will be required in such areas forever moving forward.

On shutdowns (particularly how long they lasted), sure. But it wasn’t just righties against the vax mandate, especially ones for students. And TBH even though I was against it as well, it likely did save lives. There were also plenty of things they were wrong about, such as saying covid was NBD or the deaths were overcounted, or frankly the overall skepticism of the effectiveness of the vax as a whole for adults (yes lod I know you disagree).

Everyone/anyone who did any of this, can blow me. 1. Blamed healthy individuals not at risk who didn't want the shot. Said things like "blood on their hands", "anti-vaxxers", "fire them", "shame them", focking "jail them" etc etc. 2. Shut down schools. 3. Masked children for years. 4. Masking alone in your car or out for a walk. I'm sure I'm missing plenty, but with the behavior from some, fock you! Great article. I agree that we all got some things right and others wrong. Time to accept that mistakes were made and move on. Amnesty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
