Patients and their relatives that will eventually have limited to no visitation time with their loved ones for starters.
My daughter just got out the hospital after a 3 night stay. Her stay would have been so much worse for her mentally had the COVID era restriction been in place.

Didn't the SCIENCE rule out such preventative BUFFOONERY

If you drive a car anywhere, stop. It won't solve the problem of highway auto deaths, but it will certainly help. Sure, it's a minor inconvenience to you, but "IF iT SaVEs ONe LIfe!"
If you eat food, stop. It won't solve world hunger, but your not consuming food will certainly help.
Etc, ad infinitum. So, so very stupid.

Is this where we have located Lloyd Austin? Given some of the absurd “masking” he wears, seems a logical conclusion.

Double especially considering such a large portion of the patients are white men.

They must of had someone test positive because right now that is the policy for the VA. No mandatory masks unless someone test positive and even then it may or may not impact the entire facility if I read correctly. I just had an appointment at the VA Clinic near me outside of the Fort Leonard Wood, MO with no issues.

Charleston VA has no mask requirements, and no table at the entrance asking any questions.

Unless you are wearing a single use N95 mask in a controlled environment for no more than 8 hours, your flimsy piece of cloth isn't doing a thing

The VA in BR does this well ahead of mandates and continue longer after the mandates. They love that control.
But doesn’t bother me because there are sick people there beyond COVID. Plus I’m not there very long and they provide the mask.
I save thousands in prescriptions costs and routine optical, etc. Not worth arguing with an entitled black woman who could make my life even more miserable.
And certainly not a hill to die on.

25 years of training and experience with hazardous and biohazardous exposure prevention. Chemical and biological.

Prevention methods of inhalation, absorption, ingestion and injection.
Your ear loop masks do NOTHING.
If I wasn't clear enough, let me say that again... EAR LOOP CLOTH MASKS DO NOTHING. The only effect is a psychological condition through the virtue signal that makes you feel like you're preventing something and gives you a false sense of protection from something that you honestly cannot protect against without wearing sanitary latex gloves at all times combined with sealed eyewear and ear protection along with a fitted, fully sealed N95 or P100 respirator.
If these facts bother you, I'm sorry, but you should ignore the talking box and pay attention. This subject is a major aspect of my job. You can greatly mitigate the chances of contracting Covid, but the measures are ridiculous and the virus itself isn't that bad in all honesty. If you're already in a high risk category, you definitely should take these precautions anyway, but the rest of us just need to live our lives because Covid is here to stay.
The virus is VERY tiny, and floats in the air like aerosols. If in your lungs, you don't even have to cough to spread it. It's so small and light that the act of naturally exhaling is enough to carry the virus out of your lungs and body, and right through/around your basic cloth masks. Then, it hangs there in the air to be carried by drafts or just to suspend for many, many hours waiting for another person to inhale it right through/around their cloth mask. Masks are much more effective at preventing the spread of influenza, but not Covid.

The only thing that mask can do is stop you from spitting on someone

The N95’s are barely better. Don’t fall for that lie

I worked in health care for over a decade, by themself, no, but that is why I mentioned that they be single use in a controlled environment for no longer than 8 hours. In a controlled environment where other PPE is present they can be effective but by themself, a little more useful than the ear loop cloth masks everyone wears for the first few hours and then they are nothing.
