You still are supposed to wear masks to see the doctor here, go into a nursing home or dentist. I never made it mandatory in my office. We never took temps of our pts. I said,"**** it, we have to work our way thru it."
My dentist has not made it mandatory either. He allowed it to be your choice if you want to wear it or not.
# places I prefer to not visit - Dr. Office, Hospital Emer Rooms, Public Schools...... Most of my past flu cases come from those type of visits...
If a mask may help keep one person with health issues or health care professional on the front lines from catching the virus, I’ll willingly mask up. I’ll also limit my public trips out if I’m having symptoms. I’ve had the virus and know what it feels like to have those symptoms.
Have you noticed in dr office or any other place its still mandated most employees have them off until they see someone?
If the mask stopped the spread then covid would have slowed down when it all started.
I believe the best thing that come from this was the wiping down places people contacted that & more people actually washing their booger hooks .
I don’t wear one at DRs or DDS offices unless they ask me to put one on. It’s just dumb.
I agree with the washing down areas and people washing their hands.
My thought on masks at medical facilities is not really due to covid. A lot of sick people at medical facilities and mask wearing will keep them from germing up the place.
They can choose to use them if they feel the need . Most people even the old's put them on as they are checking in & then dont pull them over their nose.
That isn't my experience and I am at the hospital at least once a week for blood work.
If you feel the need for s mask by all means have one .... my wife is s nurse & no one has them on
