An immunocompromised person in my family got COVID for the first time, AT THE HOSPITAL because they stopped requiring ANY PRECAUTIONS. No masks, no nothing.
They can't avoid the hospital so that means they'll just have to roll the dice each time they go?
What a cruel world.
Immunocompromised means the vaccine doesn't work as well. So what the current US policy says is equivalent to "you're on your own" good luck! 😡😡😡
@writerethink One of my kids had to spend a couple days in the hospital about a month ago. We both wore masks, and basically none of the staff did. One person (a resident, I think) said more than once “You can take that mask off, you don’t have to wear it”
I’m beginning to think these medical staff don’t *actually* believe in germ theory
@writerethink Interesting that replies so far assume ignorance or incompetence. The person who told me we could take our masks off was a doctor – I just don’t recall whether they were resident or attending
My point about germ theory isn’t about training, or even competence. I get the feeling that, for this doctor, germ theory is a memorized fact, not something that they believe/understand at a gut level
