In other news, water is wet...

I wore a mask for the last five years as a Home Health nurse because, even though it was uncomfortable at times, I never passed a respiratory infection to any of my patients. I recently retired knowing I did all I could to do no harm.

While we didn't NEED a study, I do actually really appreciate that the study was done. If nothing else, it really shows just how major of an impact basic prevention methods can make.

I had a few arguments with people who said "masks don't work". Ok, so the next time you go in for open heart surgery (They already had 2 valves done), do you want your doctor wearing a mask? "That's different"

That’s gonna trigger some really stupid people

How about no, think of the doctors and nurses stuck in those things for 12 hours a day, trust me it’s no fun x

Coming to the responses to find people to block lol

Those who clearly choose not to cover their mouths for the sake of others are often the keenest to spread poison and misinformation…

I had surgery a while ago. Every time I go to the hospital for followups the doctors are masked, the staff is masked, the patients are masked and all visitors are masked. Always been that way. I currently live in Japan.

Not my research, just sharing it with others!

And as for the clear barrier, while mitigating the spread of disease it can help with communication esp with Deaf or Hard of Hearing people and can generally facilitate nonverbal communication — important for a the leader of a country, no doubt. 😉

It only works when you make it out of real, organic, horses. Better if they're biodynamic

Hospitals are cesspools of disease. You are better off treated at home if at all possible. Masks protect others from you not the other war around. Unless the mask is coated with an anti microbial and is rated for viruses it is useless and only work for about 4 hrs., less than the ER wait time.

You make some very fair points. 💜 I recognize that masks need to come off for certain types of exams, I absolutely agree that a perfect solution doesn't exist.

3/ a pound” rule breaking mentality and just write off all regulations in masks entirely. And that will lead the willfully ignorant back into verbally and occasionally physically assaulting clinical staff trying to uphold the law.

2/ That being said, I think prohibiting patients and drs from unmasking in exam rooms ever at all leads to unintended consequences in our unfortunately unideal world. One is that some examinations do require the patient to unmask. Another being that many people will engine in “in for a penny in for

1/ So to start I think we’re both in agreement that it’s a miscarriage of justice when an IC person is exposed to a potentially deadly virus in a hospital or Dr’s office and that ideally they’d all be kept as places where no one was getting exposed.

Unfortunately, under the new administration, pesky things like facts are pointless. Welcome to the post science era.

I mean duh right?!

Yeah I would bet Robert Kennedy Jr would be against this

Doing things for the greater good? Witch!! Masks saved lives during the pandemic Misinformation killed soany people then, and continues to kill people

Nice touch there is the male tie-less. Those things germ bags. Findings determined how much disease spread doing 'rounds' acting as a true carrier.

Holy shit! Next you’re gonna tell us the earth is round!!!!! Boom!

its almost like the science is real⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

Duh
