Masked Man makes another point...
One more point about receptionists not wearing masks... They are endangering everybody there including Data Report who visited and other patients and visitors who go to urgent care because you can catch other things on top of what ya already got.. in other words anybody sick with covid or pneumonia that is visiting urgent health care or a healthcare facility can catch another illness more than possibly from unmasked receptionist. You see people enter healthcare because they are already sick therefore they are already considered 'at risk' patients. A covid patient can catch a the flu because some unmasked doctor breathes on their patient while using stethoscope... It just doesn't make sense that an unmasked receptionist would be allowed to risk infecting patients with something something on top of what they already have.
People in charge of determining whether others have an illness or not shouldn't breathe on their specimens.
If you're really on top of how airborne diseases work, You don't breathe in and out germs or viruses in a laboratory setting so why should ya breathe in and out germs of viruses outside the laboratory setting where people are already coming in sick?
These doctors go to school for 6 years and they can't seem to grasp this simple concept about how people can get infected with more than one airborne diseases by others like their own maskless faces, maskless staff and maskless receptionists.
Not long ago a stranger told me how he went into a doctor's office with covid then contracted pneumonia while he was there and then had to go to hospital for six months where he was told he'd never walk again. That guy didn't wear a mask and pumped out my septic tank. While I kept my distance from him across the yard my mask.
Also my significant other's cousin picked up covid in a hospital while he was getting surgery or something and then died of covid.. he got covid from his hospital stay.
When I was a little kid in the mid 70's many doctors understood this concept not to breathe on your specimen because I had really bad allergy asthma and had to go into hospital and they constructed a tent for me so that other patients wouldn't spread germs to me when I was in a weakened state. My parents visited me outside the tent. So in the 70's doctor's were aware of this phenomena of how airborne diseases can affect the patient who is already in a "weakened state" due to an illness. (That's a doctor's job to protect prevent diseases and save lives).
When ya work with microscopes to study microscopic entities It’s generally considered a taboo or a big no-no to accidentally breathe on the slide plate that where the thing is that you are observing nor should you fog up the microscope’ lense with your breath and you’d get an F for contaminating your work and the specimen your studying.. it should be the same with human specimens that are already in a weakened state seeking care. Wear a masks doctors if there is anything scientific about your approach in regards to airborne diseases.
Also doctors, you just have to stay up to date with things and accept the fact that in the last five years these new diseases such as covid are actually dangerous... you simply want to do everything possible to lower risk of catching and transmitting diseases amongst yourselves staff and those you care for namely your patients. You want to promote circulation in your buildings and you definitely should Mask when working around airborne diseases. Hygiene as well as constant custodial cleaning should be part of your arsenal against airborne diseases as well... its just not like it used to be.
Also I suggest doctors keep up to date by reading the archives in this sight.. if you're a doctor you'd have to be a fool not to peruse these handy archives of the latest happenings in regards to covid , the bird flu and all the other viruses going around... Follow the data here at Data Report Info if you want to keep tabs on what's really going on all over the world right now. Its handy to use this forum!
