Colleagues in nursing or medicine or any other fields in health care, if a patient asks you to put on a mask, please don’t tell us about a nonsense policy of not masking at your institution and put it on without comment @WeillCornell
I am literally begging that if you see someone in a mask in a small space with you, instead of saying “do you want me to mask?” Just say “oh let me put a mask on!”
That way it’s courteous and not putting the person masked in a position where they have to say yes
If someone is wearing a mask in a doctors office, there is seriously no reason to remind them masks are no longer necessary. Trust me, everyone knows. Those still wearing masks *want to* be wearing them.
In today’s “things that make me mad at the grocery store,” I watched a woman pull her mask down to LICK HER FINGERS to help open a plastic bag and then used the same fingers to pick up food to put in the bag.
