@broadwaybabyto That's awful.
Does this doctor not know that the main points of spread for original SARS in 2003 were hospitals and clinics? Is he not aware of issues with streptococcus spread in hospitals? Is he not aware that people with illnesses ... have reasons to go to places that treat illnesses?
Hopefully the hospital has better air filtering and overall cleanliness than anywhere else in town, but to think that further precautions against catching an infection are ridiculous is ... ridiculous.
I hope you are able to reprimand this person in some way.
