If I could give a 3-minute presentation to every board of every hospital in the world:

Five Simple Questions: Answer yes or no:

Does wearing a respirator protect healthcare workers from viral infections?

Do infected healthcare workers with flu, RSV, COVID and other viral illnesses infect patients?

Do nosocomial infections harm patients and impair recovery?

Does this facility's mission commit us to protect the health of those we serve?

Will we implement a masking policy immediately?

@augieray I just got out after being hospitalized for an infection due to my impaired immune system. At my request, hospital staff caring for me donned the baggy surgical masks available to them. No one was masked except at patient requests. Crazy.
@kateiacy I hope you're feeling better.
