Just a Masked Man Sidenote snide comment:

It appears like they are making attempts but at same time its vague and complicated like some of the places require masks and some don't.. that's just too lax for my tastes... the problem is the stairs and the elevator and the people passing through.. at least they are making attempts to mask I guess... the thing is either the mask is on or off.. I dunno if you let some of the people go maskless then it probably won't work but at least this hospital has got some guidelines which are better than nothing. Still rules like just making one " individual with respiratory symptoms (even if COVID testing is negative); mask" but not making people around that individual mask doesn't seem right...

I kind of think if they make all doctors and staff mask then the doctors and staff would make all the patients and visitors mask as well because that's just human behavior. If they act wishy washy about masking at all then people aren't going to take it seriously and they are going to ignore "recommendations", especially if the doctors , nurses, and staff don't mask.

Best rule in there I read was
"If requested by a patient or staff member for an encounter".
..that is redeeming and good. Doesn't mean the waiting room or the stairs won't have masks vectors but at least the patient can stand up for themselves during the encounter. However that doesn't mean a nurse or cat scan operator or somebody won't talk in the room maskless but at least at least that rule empowers the voice of the masked patient a bit. More than likely that means you have the right to tell them right before they duck to check your temperature or get your weight before they get their face real close to your masked face you can pull back and say "I request you put a mask on!".. that is if you're fast enough.

Jeesh.. it would just be a heck of lot easier and more effective and a heck of a lot safer (which is the point) to make everybody mask. people go to the hospital a lot mostly and usually when the are sick (sometimes when they are injured)..theres a lot osf sick people therefore use mask .. who cares who is sick and who is not.. just everybody mask to be on safe side... To me it seems weird and not right to not mask around sick people. Mask to avoid getting sick and spreading and mask if you are sick... mask if you are healthy to keep health and mask to keep others healthy.. That should be part of the goals of hospitals to not just make people healthy but keep them healthy by preventing them from getting sick like in the Hippocratic oath .. use the mask hospital!

One thing I always have thought is kind of weird is making a sick person wear a mask.. I mean true a sick person should be quarantined right away ..and true a sick person should ideally wear a mask but if they having trouble breathing or vomiting .. I would just assume anyone not wearing a mask might be too sick to wear one.. We should make effort to be safe from the sick people and try to make them mask as well but above we should mask everybody that is able to mask like healthy doctors and staff and visitors... its just something I wonder about because its a million times easier to mask when you are healthy rather than when you are sick short of breath or about to vomit.

You would think all patients and all doctors would have personal protection .. you know like nobody is allowed to go near any patients without a mask on. Just to be on the safe side for the sake of safety.Not just for the sake of the masker alone but for the principle of the thing and for Saftey's sake... for the general welfare of everybody strong and weak alike.. you know like we might well make it a rule for insurance reasons and we might  as well wear masks because there's a lot os sick people here...duh.

Hospitals have all these strict rules and regulations about medicines and they have to follow all sorts of rules and even laws accept for masks of course..its ridiculous they can't just say you have to wear a mask. What's this choice crap.. airborne disease don't give the maskless a choice.. airborne diseases do one thing and that is goes to and from the face receptacles.

I'm stricter in my backyard than a doctor is in the place where people with respiratory problems often go and  airborne diseases often get spread and even diagnosed.. I kid you not...  Nobody is allowed in my back yard without a mask including my self. In my back yard is cleaning area where I cut open dirty boxes from abroad from snotty nosed, sweaty, tired, and possibly sick UPS and FED EX  truck drivers who carry huge boxes bear hugging or holding them on their shoulders to drop off for me out front. Trust me you don't wanna be maskless standing next to a Masked Man who is cutting open boxes from his wheelbarrow with a giant knife from Pakistan and shooting Clorox mist to disinfect everything. Nobody could possibly breathe on anything I bring  through my back door after it gets a good cleaning and air dries in the laundry room for awhile. These are my bulk food items and goods and these goods go through a series of quarantined areas until I feel them safe to eat, wear or use as intended. I'm stricter than the FDA, the CDC, and probably your mamma put together! lol.. funny but true. I wear a mask for my shipments surely hospitals can mandate masks for humans and humanitarian purposes.

I make you wear a mask if you come near me on my personal property. I don't want to chance getting sick and and I have an elderly person I love and take care of I'm not willing to risk her health. When I'm in my back yard I'm actually working in my mask and listening to music through earbuds while I work. Personal only: which is me only and only me the Masked Man!

Wear the mask around me no matter what, Its easy for me to say and I didn't go to school for six years to learn about diseases and the natural laws as to how diseases get spread.

Wear a mask out of mutual respect for one another and for the sake of the weakest one that might be in a weakened state if  you're the strongest. Hospitals and doctors need to learn about mutual respect:"Mutual respect is about everyone being valued for who they are and what they bring to the table. It involves seeing people's unique contributions, recognizing and understanding differences, and celebrating diversity – but also capitalizing on common ground".

Anyway Beacon Health "recommends" visitors to wear masks while The Masked Man "INSISTS" on masks otherwise don't visit... don't even try.

I mean c'mon what kind of name is that Beacon Health! ..lol.. if you really wanna be a beacon of health then mask!


Wear a mask out of mutual respect,
The Masked Man

P.S. Doctors,
Here's the deal you got five different airborne viruses going on at once.. Have you determined who's got what when they walk trough those doors? Have you got your mask on before you determine what the problem or the illness is? Before you get into some stranger's mask or face  you better be wearing yours because Doc, you don't even know what your dealing with airborne disease-wise and you are all the other patients safe from your other patients? Wear mask please because you're there to diagnose and prevent diseases amongst other important tasks.

SUMMARY - Beacon Health System, a healthcare organization in the state of Indiana, has updated their visitation policy as of February 7, 2025, in order to "strongly encourage" that visitors to the organization wear a mask.

COMMENTARY - The news release does not specify how Beacon Health will "strongly encourage" Covid-19 to not infect visitors, staff or patients.

..I guess their last mask policy "ran out" or that its like a computer update or something I guess they will 'strongly encourage" by threatening their maskless guests with tuberculosis, covid, influenza, pneumonia, flu etc?

Not that those threats will work as I don't think its enough to threaten the maskless with diseases. It needs to be like helmet law for motorcycles ... it should be the law you mask around airborne diseases just like in most states motorcycle riders have to wear helmets whether they like it or not.

Many motorcycle guys wouldn't wear helmets for fear of head injury.. they just wear helmets because of the law. I got dummies riding ATV's up and down my street without helmets on the weekend sometimes that live on my street because nobody calls the law... its the same with stupid maskless people in the face of airborne diseases in a sick room they won't mask for airborne diseases unless its the law and they risk a fine or confinement or face going to court.

...That mindless thoughtlessness occurs with certain populations that actually might suffer from head trauma or injury and also become endangered or depopulated by diseases and illness in the long run...

I, on the other hand, of course wear a helmet on my bicycle and I mask when I go outside my door. I have grey cells and an immunity system to protect and keep from getting beat up by the pavement or worn out by disease and illness.

P.S. I guess the helmet law in most states for motorcyclist probably came partly into existence because insurance companies don't want to foot the expensive bill and the healthcare profession got sick of trying to put Humpty Dumpty 's head back together again during motorcycle wrecks since head injury was prevalent among motorcycle wrecks...

...It will be nice some day when insurance companies get sick of compensating the maskless and healthcare profession get sick of taking care of people who get sick with airborne diseases in their own facilities under their own healthcare facilities roof or they get sick of getting sick and start making laws for masking around airborne diseases treating diseases and illnesses like the serious things that they are.

The thing about helmets are they only protect the rider whereas the Mask protects more than one person from illness because it also prevents spread

I'm not very knowledgable but I am thinking The role of insurance companies interesting and the world of occupational hazards as well. An insurance company might not cover you if you take unnecessary risks or don't follow certain rules.. same with occupational hazard laws.. there are repercussions that occur if certain rules aren't followed. They certainly do more than 'strongly encourage' when it comes to following laws in regards to work places or insurance companies. I mean its illegal to smoke in many places and I'm sure many rules like this could apply to mask and airborne diseases. I'm just thinking outloud, brainstorming  on the matter perhaps other forum members have more experience than I about how laws and policies and mandates work and are established to get people to follow rules such as masking around health threatening and life threatening airborne highly contagious diseases and illnesses.
