New mutual aid network distributing thousands of masks, want health care settings to keep or return masking safety measures
The establishment in the West when anyone tries to act collectively in any way:
Hospitals are crazy, I had to go for an x ray last month and not a single person there was wearing a mask. In the waiting room there was a guy coughing his lungs out, no mask. All the staff were maskless. When I got into the imaging room the technician told me I can take my mask off. I told her "Nah, I'll leave it on" and she looked confused. It was a little bit shocking to see that even the supposed medical experts encourage you to not mask...
I get weekly allergy shots and nearly every time I go in, the receptionists tell me I can take my mask off. Like I came in with a mask, why do you want it off so bad??? Aren't they tired of getting fucking sick all the god damned time? Are they really there begging me to cough into their eyeballs?
Maybe 1/5 of the staff in ERs is still masking in every hospital within my zone. Shit's fucked yo.
I'm almost curious to ask whether the number of people masking in ERs has gone down relative to 2019. It wasn't uncommon for me to see people in masks in the ER even before the outbreak.
Depressingly no. This is still a higher average than before covid. ICU & surgery floors have kept up much better, pre & post covid.
Lets be honest. The US doesn't have a healthcare system, its a profitcare system. By that measure the US is the best
America is 3 defense contractors in a trenchcoat with a side hustle in pharma
How is the hospital supposed to profit off selling masks to insurance companies for 50 bucks a pop when these folks are outside just giving them away! Won't you think of the shareholders value?
Remember when they were blasting us with "WEAR MASKS TO HELP KEEP OUR FRONTLINE HEALTHCARE WORKERS SAFE" now those same healthcare workers won't even wear masks to protect us. Fuck this entire shithole country.
A couple days ago I went to get another booster and I kid you not there was not a single person there with a mask on. Of all the places for there not to be anyone, a thingy for getting covid boosters...
In capitalist America, you pay to go to hospitals to get sick!
yo my local hospital just gives people masks. and its a private capitalist outfit too.
Ah, one of the capitalist firms with at least some competence at capitalism

For now. The line must always go up, at a faster rate, whatever it takes.
I'm convinced that the dark money interests behind the anti-mask movement are healthcare investors. For them, less preventative measures means more money from hospitalizations, drugs treatments, care homes, etc.
