SUMMARY - Duke Health, a North Carolina organization that encompasses a variety of healthcare schools and hospitals, has ordered that visitation be limited to all of their hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers as January 6, 2025, due to a spike in respiratory illnesses, including Covid-19 cases. Daytime visitors for patients will be limited to no more than two people ages 12 and older, while overnight visitors must be at least 18 years old unless they are the parent or caregiver of a pediatric patient. Masking is urged, but not required, for all visitors.

"Masking is urged, but not required, for all visitors."

Then the problem will continue. We're 5 years into this and healthcare still refuses to do what's needed.

This hits a nerve for the Masked Man! :) Nothing makes the Masked man more berserk than hearing about maskless doctors, nurses and sick people holding gatherings in close quarters! So help me God its all I can do from not hurling cuss words and insult upon insult upon these imposters who go maskless and claim to heal people of diseases at same time...

Yeah its crazy..whatever happen to the Hippocratic oath about preventing disease ...masks reduce airborne disease infection and spread...What kind of rule is that: "Masking is urged, but not required, for all visitors."!? That basically means you don't have to wear a mask and go ahead and breathe in and breathe out diseases upon one another!
...its like the doctors & nurses don't have to mask but a visitor who might offer to wear a mask would be rejected. lol.. if a little school aged kid wore a mask and he or she was 11 years old he wouldn't be able to visit the hospital yet its okay for a maskless adult to enter the sickroom.. these rules are atrocious ..the cdc merely recommends masks while there is a spike in respiratory illnesses.. aren't respiratory diseases airborne diseases? duh... for some reason the word "quack" comes to my mind when I read about facilities that house maskless doctor's, maskless nurses, and maskless visitor's  who treat patients respiratory diseases... I wear a mask when I go outside my house.. these medical people are simply lazy.  I can't understand it. Mask for covid and therefore ya mask for whooping cough, influenza, strep etc. they might as well mask for one airborne disease since masking will also help prevent  like five of the other airborne disease floating around right now.

Maskless People who raise poultry are no better. Another five years might very well eliminate some of these people.

They ought to limit maskless doctors from entering the medical facility. seriously Mask for covid and your masking for all the other airborne diseases as well.. now that's a bargain and an advantage!

I guarantee you they'd let a maskless camera man and a maskless news anchor enter their dirty hospital halls and elevator for a maskless interview of how hard they have it at these hospitals .. they'sll smile for a photo for the press and a news story so vain are these so called professional healthcare workers. They do it all the time.. maskless doctors and nurses walking the dirty hospital hallways with some maskless news anchor and maskless cameraman on the 6 o'clock news... they are dying for the press always complaining about the spike in respiratory diseases and such and how overwhelmed they are with illnesses. Its absolutely ridiculous but true.

These are the
Top 8 Respiratory Illnesses and Diseases:
from
UnityPoint Health News and Articles Top 8 Respiratory Illnesses and Diseases

(non of the following people people seeking treatment for a respiratory illnesses should be exposed to the maskless people in healthcare facilities or take unnecessary risks with airborne diseases nor should they be allowed to infect others with airborne diseases) :


Asthma


Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)


Chronic Bronchitis


Emphysema


Lung Cancer


Cystic Fibrosis/Bronchiectasis


Pneumonia


Walking Pneumonia


Pleural Effusion


Additional Illness – COVID-19

...It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that masks need to be worn when in close contact with people suffering from the aforementioned respiratory illnesses. Duke Health, a North Carolina organization that encompasses a variety of healthcare schools and hospitals is basically saying you can wear a mask but you don't have to around people suffering from the aforementioned respiratory diseases.. uh what drugs are these doctors on!?

Medicine may not be an exact science but c'mon doctors at least use some common sense and mask up and have people around you mask up when dealing with airborne diseases! Just look up the definition of airborne disease and that should suffice in explaining why to wear a mask.

If doctors and nurses and healthcare people how an airborne disease works and how it come out of a sick person's face and they know that mask helps prevent the transmission of the diseases amongst their patients, doctor and staff then they know they need to mask its just that simple. They are pretending to be dumb. They are playing dumb. They just don't want to wear the mask..they just don't have the discipline because its simply illogical and unethical not to if they understand the nature of airborne diseases and how many they are uo against. They need to mask for the sake of the patient.. doctors took an oath and yet they refuse to mask...

...we have MD here in my little town that won't mask for me and my loved one who mask. He says he doesn't have to. It just ain't right. It's just not right for our MD  to refuse to  mask for us upon request. That's not loving or even caring or being sensitive to our needs or health. I actually think its evil so we don't see him and according to a masked nurse practitioner whom we did see; she told us they lost many patients to covid. I take it that means they died.

Wear a Mask around spikes in respiratory illnesses disease,
There but for the grace of the mask go I, Its against my religion not to wear a mask around airborne diseased people,
The Masked Man

Masking should be made mandatory in all healthcare settings during times of high virus spread. In fact, they should just be mandatory all year round in healthcare to limit the spread and keep hospital acquired infections down.

Yes Indeed, If a scientist was studying this airborne germ/virus in a laboratory, that scientist would be required to wear a mask and gloves and it should be the same rules for Doctors and those working with the virus once the virus is outside laboratory settings as well.
