   One of the most ridiculous “middle ground” policies is when hospitals require masks in exam areas, but not in waiting rooms, hallways, lobbies or elevators. Airborne viruses don’t care about the “middle ground.” Not requiring masks in all areas puts patients and staff at risk.

     @luckytran Spouse survived clean 3 years then had to go in for diverticulitis. Had 5 shots and a pile of N95s, got Covid in the waiting room full of sick babies. Or, maybe, it was the doctor who got mad every time she caught him standing by her bedside unmasked and reminded him of the policy (there was one). Also, the rooms had no doors. Sliding curtains everywhere.

     @luckytran or #MGH’s “You don’t have to wear a mask but if you choose to wear an N 95 you will have to wear a #hospital issue paper mask over it. Or you can choose to wear no #mask at all.”

     HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE??
