We are getting people coming in everyday for a chest xray. Same story. Had covid a month ago continuing cough, chest pain, shortness of breath. We have never had this many people with the same history. Tells you something.

Hello parents of children with diseases like cystic fibrosis. I love seeing your gorgeous child coming to clinic in a well fitted n95 mask. I would love to see you support your child by also wearing a well fitted n95 mask.

I hate the media pushing for mask mandate to be removed. There is more than ample evidence 2 way mask wearing is effective and a nonexpensive way to control COVID

Ok. Those of us who will continue to mask. Get ready for those people who will aggressively tell you you don't need a mask anymore. They are the same people who have given hospitality/retail people a hard time when they had to police mask wearing. Be strong

One of the questions I answered for my son while registering his pos RAT was 'do you know where you caught covid' the answer was yes but the choices didn't allow us to answer. He got it at school. That was not an option. So I had to answer unknown. What's the point of asking?

Seriously? Why can't you say that masking is essential

If you have worked hard to avoid covid, but still get it anyway, it isn't a moral failure, society has made it difficult to impossible for you. This is something I need to know as well if I catch it

This is happening in WA and probably everywhere 'We are a family of 6 that have tested positive 2 days ago & the Wa site won’t let me post ??? We unfortunately spread to another 6 people after being around them for 3 hrs'

I realise that the risk for me is pretty low to catch covid at the supermarket. However, it is my consistent masking behaviour that keeps me safe. That's why I don't let my guard down

So how does the closing of the last public PCR testing site affect WA covid stats? Last week, there were over 3300 pcrs done in WA. This week, 246. Of the 246, all were positive. And despite all the problems with case data, the cases are still going up. Buckle up.

People at work don't bother telling me I don't need to wear a mask, or eat outside anymore. They know I will politely decline and continue my behaviour towards this plague. I have bored them now thankfully. I will keep speaking out

This makes me so angry because I do xrays everyday completely in an n95. This is not a problem at all. I am so happy to see patients masked up as there are more masked patients than staff (which is always only me)

My coworkers hanging around discussing how happy they are to get a mask exemption (for menopause!). They asked if I was going to continue masking, I said yes. Because nothing good in catching covid. They know it's bad for them but they said don't tell me I'd rather not know.

So to summarise COVID kills the elderly and disables other ages with long covid (probably does it with the elderly who survive but no one notices) and this is ok with the majority of society?

Overheard at grocery stores by 2 staff members. 'How r u feeling?' Ok u?' I'm ok.' We are down by 5 staff members but we are making it work. '
Neither wearing a mask of course. That's the general population, 'making it work'

Even better wear a respirator n95 or p2
Masks must be worn in high-risk public hospital clinical areas and around vulnerable patients in critical care.
To help protect yourself and others, it is recommended that you wear a face mask when attending a hospital or healthcare facility.

I'm thinking of buying a few IKEA air purifier so each child has one for their room in the winter. What are people's thoughts on the Fornuftig? I don't expect it to be perfect but just something in case multiple people in the house get sick. Right now we only have one.

It is interesting that I am asked if I'm ok seeing an HIV+ patient (not taking blood, just xrays) and yet they never ask me if I'm ok seeing a covid + patient. I'm happy to see an HIV+ patient because I understand how it is spread. I wear an n95 everywhere to prevent catchingc19
