Idk man instead of constantly changing the rules in hospitals about whether or not masking is required and confusing the shit out of people why not just do the easy thing that protects patients and require them forever. Then nobody ever has to wonder or get confused. They can just be like "oh, going to the hospital, better bring a mask"

@eniko The hospital here pre-covid had masks available at every entrance, and the front desk. The main entrance and major hallway had signs asking people to mask, and several areas required a mask to enter.

Now, no masks available anywhere, no signs asking you to mask up. Only those that previously required masks still continue to. All staff wear masks 24/7 instead to accommodate for the fact so many absolutely refuse to.

@bgolus @eniko

Yup, political rage-farming has thrown us backwards. Just like with all the wildfires. Pre-covid when the air got half as bad people were looking to mask up, and then nobody had one so it was a struggle to get. Now that everybody owns masks, they refuse to mask up in the worst of the smoke, all because of divisive anti-masking politics during the pandemic.
