I'm in hospital for a surgery. Staffs don't wear masks. Many of them cough. In the recovery room there is free unlimited access for visitors and you're of course with other patients. Another patient here has three visitors. No masks. No distance. No barriers.

I am trying to discharge myself because I'm legitimately worried I'll catch something from someone else (if I haven't already).

Hospitals don't care about COVID. Why would anyone be surprised about the general population when the most medical institution there is doesn't?

    There are nastier things than COVID that you can get in a hospital.

    https://www.who.int/news/item/06-05-2022-who-launches-first-ever-global-report-on-infection-prevention-and-control

    The math on this is points to about 4 in every 1000 hospital admissions that end up dying of infections contracted in the hospital setting.

    What works for COVID also works for many other things. Unfortunately, most of the world learned fuck all from the pandemic.
