Reply to comment by dumberthenhelooks in City’s public hospital system to continue mask requirements by geoxol

Bellevue is still doing temperature checks so not surprised. (Although I am pro mask permanently, personally.)

pro mask permanatly ? lol there's gatta be another reason why other than covid and an irrational fear of infectious diseases. Idk why anyone would wanna wear masks everywhere for the rest of their life.

...why do you think a hospital would be concerned about people walking in sick and infectious?

Yeah, a fear of infectious diesease in a hospital where there are bunch of sick and immunocompromised persons with complicated problems. That is totally nuts.

It is like asking someone in food prep to wash their hands after going to the bathroom even when there is no longer a hepatitis outbreak. Like , freaking insane, am I right ?

In hospitals with germs, yes. Dentists didn’t wear gloves until the AIDS epidemic.

In Hospitals there should have always been mask mandates and there should still be.

In a hospital setting, it shouldn't be left up to individual choice. You are surrounded by other people. Hospitals should do what's best for the entirety of their patients and staff, not bend over backwards for ignorant brats who don't care about anyone but themselves.
