At least 8 hospitals across the U.S. have brought back mandatory masking due to a dramatic increase in #Covid cases. 12,613 new #Covid admissions for the week ending Aug. 12 marked a 22% jump from the previous wk & the 5th wk of increase. Deaths up 8.9%

    i remember the last time i went to a hospital, everyone was unmasked and coughing. i was super anxious, and tensing up made the pain hurt more, lol

    wish mask mandates had at least always stayed in hospitals at least, but the urge to back to normal is too strong i guess

      I mean, doesn't it make sense for people to mask in a place where many people with respiratory viruses go to be treated? I never understood why people never seem to wear a mask except in parts of Asia.

    I don't really understand why masking isn't mandatory in hospitals always, like even if covid didn't exist. But you gotta remember how long it took for doctors to start washing their hands and that they drove a guy to commit suicide for daring to suggest they were making people sick by not washing their hands.

    It's Fall fun time! 🍁 covid-cool 🍂

    Maybe we get to spend the next couple months pretending like cold weather doesn't increase virus transmission.

    Some asshole must have had the ghosts of a few dead business partners show up rattling the chains of their sins.

    What do you think happened? Did htey realize that if they lost any more healthcare workers they'd have to shut down operations entirely and lose their investment? "Human decency" isn't an explanation for the behavior of Healthcare Executives that I'm willing to accept anymore.
