OT Detectives need to provide pics ASAP. If this chick is even sort of hot, a doctor and has that name she will be the board mascot.

This disease is insidious! The things it does to people...more and more symptoms are being revealed.
Now it's attacking our storage capacity.

More of the same contradictory bullshite... you don’t need a mask, but healthcare workers do.
Why would a mask not work for someone in public but work for someone in the hospital?
Being someone trained in proper mask wearing who is standing over a patient for long intervals at a time at a very close distance is far different than a common person without a clue on proper mask wearing walking around somewhere in which they never make close contact with someone
Our doctors and infection control all but think mask wearing has ZERO positive effect on virus spread. It is why our policy is to wear a mask when in areas patients can see us, but we are allowed to take them off once inside our office space.....
If people want to wear a mask more power to them, but from pretty much everyone in medicine i trust, it doesnt make a material difference for the general public

I have had to work up numerous COVID exposures just this week with healthcare staff that tested positive. Having to figure out where exactly they worked at and have the managers of those areas compile lists of staff that may have worked with them.
Remember now....you are still quite infectious 48-72 hours BEFORE you even show symptoms. So you don't even know you are sick yet and are spreading it around to other.
Thankfully for us....EVERYONE is required to wear a mask at work. And all patients have to wear a mask in our clinics. Doesn't matter if you do no patient care whatsoever in our hospitals or clinics...you are wearing a mask. So this does lessen the amount of exposure because the person that ends up testing positive was also wearing a mask and less likely to have spread it as much. It doesn't eliminate the exposure...but it does lessen it.
So....if you had to work in a small office with your coworkers and found out one of them has COVID....would you rather they had worn a mask or not?

Whats interesting, is Oriental Asian countries wear masks as part of everyday life more than anywhere else, yet, respiratory viruses always seem to start and spread there

Well that isn't what my medical director....an adult infectious disease specialist....and our Chief Medical Officer mandates at my healthcare system
EVERYONE is wearing a mask at our facilities.

If you were in an office with them all day... it doesn't really matter. They're touching things, you're touching things, they're touching their face, you're touching your face.
If someone is coughing up a lung, I'd rather them have a mask on. Or just stay home.

There is pretty much a split with just about every single source on what does work and doesnt work etc etc with this virus. We all have to choose who we think is most credible, and do our own analysis on what we think makes sense
I have no problem disagreeing

This thread is pointing out how contradictory every "expert" is when it comes to this virus
Its pretty much impossible for people to have the same beliefs when there isnt even close to a consensus within the medical community itself
This isnt like other things where only 1% of doctors are disagreeing (think vaccines).

I think there is a rather large difference with nurse and waweewawee, who thinks mask should be worn and can help, to those people who scorn others without a mask and simply use it to show their virtue

If you can't grasp how a mask helps to contain respiratory droplets then I don't know what to tell you Boo. Use the basics on why medical staff wear masks while doing surgery.
This thing is primarily spread from person to person contact...with our respiratory droplets.
Yes you are touching things...but that is where hand washing comes in play. Yes you can technically get this through touching common surfaces and then touching your face. But....you are MORE likely to get this having close contact with someone and breathing it in while they are talking, singing, coughing, sneezing the droplets out of their mouth. So....if they are wearing a mask....that minimizes those droplets from coming out of their mouth and nose and getting close enough to infect you.
People wearing masks around you isn't gonna 100% protect you. Neither is social distancing or hand washing.
But....you do a combination of those things...and you are obviously gonna be more protected than if you didn't do any of those things.

Dont know how you and your co-workers are, but that isnt really something we do in our office setting....
Comparing surgeons to everyday people in public is such an interesting argument. Surgeons also wear gowns and caps. Should we wear those too?
