SUMMARY - Novant Health, a healthcare provider in the state of North Carolina, has begun asking persons aged 13 and younger from visiting Novant Health hospitals, in an effort "to reduce the spread of respiratory viruses." Masks remain optional for visitors. People who are seeking treatment at these hospitals are not subject to the restriction but will be asked to wear a mask.

COMMENTARY - Nowhere in the press release do they describe how they will 'ask' Covid-19 not to infect anyone not wearing a mask.

I'm trying to grasp the reasoning here as to why they don't mandate guests, doctors and staff to wear masks no matter what... Okay here's the Scenario: Guy get sick .. has trouble breathing or puking and dehydrating or whatever.. Sick guy goes to place where people gather around him to find out what is wrong. Okay right there why aren't doctor's nurses, staff and guests masking as they gather around the sick guy!? Aren't people supposed to protect their health with a mask and stop the contagion  while determining what is wrong with an extremely sick guy who might not even be able to stomach wearing a mask?


Its a mystery disease but its even more of a mystery as to why people don't mask around the mystery disease,

P.S. I hate to say this but what kind of moron goes maskless  up to a someone who has a mystery disease? It borders on being suicidal to knowingly breathe in and out germs and risk exposure like that in front of sick people. If a person is sick is it not wise to beware and take extra precautions to prevent ourselves and others from getting sick?

I also don't get the logic or the reasoning behind masking someone like an elderly lady who is having trouble breathing and is severely sick ..it might very well be dangerous for her in her condition to mask and therefore it just makes sense that the 'healthy ' doctors and nurses  who are able to wear masks do so.

Okay here's one more. Its  rhetorical question of sorts I guess: Say there's an animal and its real sick and we don't even know why it sick or what made it sick.. we don't know squat about it and  it might even die, who in their in right mind with any degree of intelligence would go up to the super sick or dying animal and just breathe it in!?
