The medical practice I've patronized for almost 30 years in the Bay Area lifted its mask mandate for its employees and patients. IMO it's grossly irresponsible, and will lead to more illness and deaths -- especially among older patients. I'm actively looking for a practice that requires masks, but suspect -- given America's total capitulation to covid -- I won't find one.
@dangillmor Kaiser did that too (unless we're talking about the same medical group). I wouldn't remove my mask when I went for a MD checkup and PT.
I also noticed that while the MD didn't wear one, all the nurses did.
