@Independent_ie Going to hospital is now so dangerous, people who genuinely need to attend are having to weigh up the risks. Using respirators protects everyone, this should not be a debate.
@Independent_ie This is an absolutely superb piece - there's no excuse for people catching Covid in healthcare settings, it increases morbidity / mortality amongst patients, increases staff absences, and generally slows the whole system down. It's very bad for patients.

"Thousands upon thousands of children in the U.S. became orphans during the pandemic...Now I'm no psychiatrist but I'm pretty sure losing a parent has a bigger impact on your emotional & mental health than having to learn algebra via Zoom."

Inspired from HICPAC: I conducted an RCT of raincoats - I wore them 3 hrs a day, and overall they didn't really stop me getting wet (it rained all day). Clearly raincoats are not superior to no raincoats.
My recommendation: Don't wear raincoats - they don't work.

Do you want to explain this @Cricketnation? This is a violation of ADA law, discriminating against employees and patrons who wear a mask to prevent severe illness and further disability. In Durham, NC. Is this how the company feels about immunocompromised & disabled individuals?
Healthcare facilities joyfully announcing the clawback of mask mandates:
This was my mum.
She died 9 days after testing Covid + the very day she was to be released from hospital. The hospital killed her with Covid.
You should be embarrassed.
@60Minutes Thanks to this astounding report, I have just permanently deleted my @eBay account, and my husband is in the process of doing the same. Just unreal. They could give the stuff away for free and I wouldn’t take any of it.
@60Minutes I am very disappointed in the US Attorney downplaying the remarks of the eBay senior executives,pretty much dismissing it as “locker room talk”.
I remember reading stories about why white collar criminals are rarely prosecuted-the prosecutors see them as peers. They went to 1/
@seattlechildren I wish I lived in a place where hospitals cared about their patients' health enough to require masks! When will @Intermountain and @primarychildren do the right thing and reinstate mask requirements to protect vulnerable patients?
