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.

#PandemicIsNotOver

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.

#LongCOVID

@antiaall3s I blame the infectious disease docs for cleaving to outdated and disproven theories based on studies done in the 1890s and early 1900s. There’s a study from the 1930s that has long been interpreted incorrectly to show that most diseases are transmitted by droplets, this despite many studies showing otherwise. I also blame public health who turned PPE into theatre. Between those groups we ended up where we are. And then the politicians and the powerful pushed for β€œnormal”
@RandomCanuck πŸ’― this! The repercussions would be enormous if they accepted aersol transmission. So they prefer to stick their head in the sand about it.
