~18 yo coworker (patient care assistant) wears a surgical mask nurse (60s, been on unit for like 15 years): ā€œwhyā€™re you wearing a mask?ā€ PCA: ā€œoh I just donā€™t feel comfortable working so closely w/ patients without a mask.ā€ nurse: ā€œso you think youā€™re better than us?ā€ šŸ‘ļøšŸ‘„šŸ‘ļø

Iā€™m Margaret. I wear a mask because we donā€™t tell teenagers that STIs are inevitableā€”we tell them to use condoms. We donā€™t say car crash injuries/deaths are inevitableā€”we mandate seatbelts. We donā€™t say 2nd hand smoke is inevitableā€”we ban indoor smoking.

Hi, Iā€™m Mel. I live in Canada, and I refuse to accept that infections and reinfections are inevitable - I will continue to wear a respirator to protect myself and others to break the chain of transmission. Will you join me?

ā€œMargaret, when will you stop masking?ā€ When we have 1. Prophylactic drugs that prevent COVID infection (like PrEP) or vaccines that completely prevent infection and 2. Highly effective and safe treatments for Long COVID. When will you start masking???

The consistently faint line indicates to me that my masking at least lowered the viral load that lead to this infection. Late on tuesday night, 2/3 tests I took were also faintly positive. Hereā€™s an image of one of those testsā€”before and after increasing contrast (etc)

@IPizza666 yeah thatā€™s likely where she was coming from. The context tho is that we were discussing the dropping of mask mandates. So itā€™s the combination of saying that *and* not masking around our patients, nearly all of whom are 65+ and in for non-elective operations. šŸ’”šŸ˜ž

@MNhospitals you know what really risks access to care? having unsafe staffing ratios. if yā€™all were on the floor for literally one shift youā€™d know that

@D_Bone As a future doctor, thank you for sharing and helping me prepare. Itā€™s hard to fathom how many of my future patients will have long covidā€¦

Normally, if my unit needs people to pick up shifts, Iā€™ll get texts. Iā€™ve been getting texts, but thatā€™s an every day thingā€”the hospital is always understaffed. However, since they dropped the mask requirement on monday, Iā€™ve gotten *paged* directly multiple times šŸ˜­

If youā€™re an employee or patient at @MayoClinic , tell them why you want them to PREVENT hospital-acquired-infections. I personally know people who have caught COVID from HCWs while hospitalized at Mayo. NO ONE should come to Mayo Clinic & get sicker. #KeepMasksInHealthCare

High risk people deserve to get medical care without risking their lives. Infection prevention should NOT be abandoned. #KeepMasksInHealthCare

@celestial_bean_ @MeetJess @LauraMiers @CDCgov_parody @amandalhu I hope that because I wear my 3M aura or FloMask and stoggles everywhere and am never unmasked outside my apartment, it wouldnā€™t be hard to prove that any covid infection I acquire in the future would be work-related

@_bahhumbug No, Iā€™ve seen too much šŸ˜­ At this point would be like dating someone who doesnā€™t wash their hands or thinks that seatbelts are unnecessary

@pxnzischemes Yes, absolutely, 1. because there are many people who could not medically get the vaccines or were concerned about how they would affect their already fragile health 2. because the larger antivax movement is predatory and those people are *victims* of manipulation and propaganda

@Maverickk324 @ElyKreimendahl What an wild self-report. šŸ˜³ We get it, you donā€™t care about the lives of anyone over the age of like, 65 (or anyone whoā€™s medically vulnerable, for that matter). Also, death isnā€™t the only negative outcome and is actually not the primary concern for most people!

Iā€™m really sick of hearing patients cough their lungs out all day, going to their charts, and seeing that (despite obvious symptoms) no covid tests have been ordered. Like, what the hell are we doing? Most of the pts on my unit are 65+. Unbelievable.

ā€œI donā€™t use condoms. STIs are here to stay & u shouldnā€™t let the fear of them ruin ur pleasure! I donā€™t even have symptoms right now.. Do u have anxiety or something?ā€ Imagine this person has 100+ partners per day & *rarely gets tested* THIS is how non-maskers sound.
