let me explain why I have no problem wearing a mask. On two different occasions I walked into a patient's room to do the chest xray on them. I was in a hurry to assist in getting them stabilized without waiting for their covid test (rapid 15 min test). both pt's had lung markings consistent of very active covid (full of pneumonia like markings). I had on my surgical mask, gloves, goggles (as this is the norm on every pt now). Pt had their surgical mask on. I am still to this day, covid free.. (knock on wood). I have performed imaging (CT/X-RAY) on hundreds of covid patients and have remained safe. The mask works. We see groups of families, or summer camps/etc, that are all covid positive because they were around each other for extended periods without masks. Take it as you want, but I am telling you that you will catch it if you get around a covid + person and neither are wearing masks. At some point in time, I personally think we will all have had the covid at one point. Its a very contagious virus, with symptoms that mimic the flu. On occasion, ppl with underlying conditions will suffer more severely (same as if they got the flu A). I am not a RN, or a MD.. these are just my opinions and observations without political or financial bias.

Where are all these non mask wearers at? It has been extremely rare to not see anyone complying the last 10-14 days

Pro, I'm requiring it in my place. Pretty much anything to avoid a shut down, additionally I have been lucky and had no cases. If possible I would prefer it to stay that way. I draw the line at checking guests temps, I wont do that. Having a liquor liscense gives the state a hammer they can drop on you at any moment and a 30 day suspension for being a public health risk is something i would like to avoid as well.

John, I am lucky in the fact our mgt team keeps us supplied with PPE's. I wear a P-100 resuable mask for known covid pts. I use a single surgical mask per day, all day while at work. I do not wear it in my car or at home. I pray that I don't take it home. I undress in the garage and hit the shower when I get home, even before petting the dog. I am not in fear of my life, I am in fear of passing it to my wife or son and losing one or both- that would ruin me.
