This process will repeat in other places in other failing nations.
Finally. What's the point of surgery if you can't see your doctor's smile?
I don't understand why masks aren't required in hospitals regardless of covid
my personal conspiracy theory is that the US/CIA is forcing everyone to be "pro covid"
Idk if $1.90ish gas is really much better for an incumbent. I did notice that based on social media posts a lot of people seem to think liberals were in power. Seeing a lot of "and we're coming for trudeau next!!" posts. Which is a bizarre reaction to an incumbent winning reelection... especially given the context that the liberals were and are a distant third behind the NDP.
Fuck this fucking province and all the fucking fucks who ensured a PC party win.
I hope you mean the Liberals by this. The OLP is so fucking right wing they might as well just disband and join the Conservatives. They're the same party at this point.
Sorry for the swears. But this subject just sets off something dark in me.
Wow, I can't believe you said the fuck word in front of my children. That's pretty h*cked up, dude.
edit: ah fuck i fucked up, I meant the f-word.
What an odd choice. Who is even mildly inconvenienced by masking at hospitals?
I'm American and I live ~1,000 miles away so the first I heard of it was when I saw the tweet a few minutes before I posted it.
My hunch is that masking has become just as a politicized in Canada as it is in the US. Stupid shit like
not wearing a mask = freedom.
"A month or so from now Ontario will discover germ theory."
This reminds me of the easiest liberal justification for not addressing covid. "There is just so much more that we need to learn about the virus." Apparently, everyone forgot that you won't get the virus if you don't get exposed to the virus, and you could immediately stop it's spread even if you stopped all research on it.
I guess it didn't satisfy their technocratic itch if they couldn't propose an overly complicated and ultimately doomed to fail solution to what was actually a simple problem. There was also the need to adopt an intellectual affect that distinguished you from Trump's base.
Anyway, I'll wind down my ranting now.

I can imagine Biden's aides so full of joy when they learned Biden was going to use the phrase "a pandemic of the unvaccinated". And it's true that after Biden said - libs used spoons to eat up that shit. They love to be reminded of their moral superiority.
But the right-wing heard things very differently. They heard Biden call them fucking stupid. And that's not exactly useful in a pandemic and many then 100% rejected vaccines and masks forever.
Where I am in the U.S. they are still required in all healthcare facilities
It depends on the hospital and the position at this point. Going from interview to interview I've seen a range. I believe my state still mandates mask wearing in hospitals but otherwise everyone has stopped. In a community hospital in the very wealthy suburbs most people in the hospital were masked but some secretaries were going without one, but the staff all were. At a local community hospital they've gotten rid of their signage on the door and though they have signage around the building still stating masks are mandated there were some people going around without masks in the open without being scolded. In virtual interviews I've not seen any masks but they're usually in an office which I suppose is fine for its purpose. As much as people like to wish COVID is gone in healthcare, everyone is still keenly aware that it's still a threat but how that will last if the legal mandate ends is beyond me.
