You’re so welcome Mel, and I’m so sorry you were infected somewhere that should have been keeping you safe. I wish more people realized how rampant COVID is in hospitals and how easy it would be to reduce those infections.
There’s no reason not to, which is part of what makes the whole situation so tragic.
I know. It's literally so easy. N95s, frequent testing, and better air purification/ventilation. Bam. You've probably cut cases in half with those three tactics. Sigh..
It especially bugs me when HCWs refuse to mask for the most vulnerable patients, like what happened to you. You said it so perfectly - "you don't belong in healthcare."
Exactly. It was harsh, but true. I think we all know that if the healthcare worker felt their live was at risk they would suddenly be able to wear a respirator without issue.
You literally have to pass a fit test to work in a hospital. They're just choosing not to wear them because they don't want to. Their personal feelings really shouldn't factor in when our lives are at stake.
Thank you for writing this 🫂
I have Long Covid because of a hospital-acquired infection. It should never be like this for anyone.
Our healthcare professionals need to follow the science.

100% sadly we’ve lost all respect for science
