Had to go see a doctor and as usual, nowadays, it fills me with despair. My GP was so kind to wear a "mask", if a baggy blue even qualifies as one. She is a tiny person, so the "mask" looked huge on her face, left huge gaps as well. After i left her office i could hear her cough. Then an assistant "needed" to explain a home test to me, even though it comes with clear instructions. She forgot to put on a "mask", oops, which probably contaminated the test.
Humanity is doomed.
It's as is they never even heard about aerosols!? In a medical facility?!
Medical doctors are supposed to be our brightest and smartest, no? Yet they behave as if an ongoing pandemic is not even a thing.
Next time she wears a baggy blue on me, i'll tell her to please not take me for a fool. When i, an immunocompromised person, go see a doctor, which makes me nervous as is, the last thing i need is hygiene theatre.
With every experience like this i am more convinced that medicine as a whole is stuck in a form of collective denial in regards to aerosol transmissions. Because if they weren't, they would need to change large parts of their common practices, remodel their facilities etc. That would cost a ton of money. Which is why they prefer to continue with their hygiene theater. It's pathetic.
Just consider the concept of a waiting room where the people share their illnesses without wearing masks. How?
@deathkitten I remember an interview on TV with one of the leading epidemiologist and public health specialist in Switzerland, it was very early on in the pandemic, where he said: Thank god that the COVID virus is not distributed via aerosols, because that would have huge consequences and engender great costs.
Well, it is. And he never recanted that statement, nor did public health change their tune. It's a huge scandal. But no one seems to care.
