This needs to stop. 2

Is everyone losing their fucking mind or something? I’m at the hospital with my girlfriend and let me tell ya, it blows. I mean these people are supposed to be medical professionals but they’re talking to me like a retard when I asked when they started not letting the visitor come back if they left and a max of 1 visitor per day. All I did was ask when they started it and the lady is like “Yeah this is serious, if you wanna know my opinion they shouldn’t let any visitors back there.” All the while talking to me like a child. I still don’t know anyone personally that’s had the shit much less almost died or anything from it. I have heard of people dying in the hospital but their family can’t be with them in their final moments and that’s the biggest crock of shit I’ve ever heard. Also, why the fuck are people acting like these masks are helping them at all? Even if they do block our nose and mouth we still have eyes... I saw a whole family walking down a trail the other day with masks on. There was no one even near them. It honestly scares the shit out of me to know these people are driving on the same road as me. I’ve taken this in stride the whole time and complied with all the rules and everything but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna just leave my girl alone then be talked to like a piece of shit on top of that. It’s crazy how much people’s true colors are showing since this all began.

I'm not sure about policies, but you are living in the age of disinformation. If the nurses of the world are saying, 'whoa", maybe we ought to listen?
Wearing a mask will not prevent juices going in your eye, but they will help reduce viral load, and reduce aerosols from sneezing, coughing, spiting.
In this age, everyone thinks they know everything, but rarely do they.

Also, there is an idea called "viral load". For instance, what is the end game when a person receives (only as an example) three virus "bugs" in their eye, versus the person who bathes in the COVID juices?
I guess this is redundant to my first post. 
It's the same reason folks may choose to have three cigarettes per day versus three packs. Risk mitigation. Balance. Etc.
Cheers!

My family has been in and out of the hospital all summer - one in a major city that got hit hard. No one, including myself, as a visitor has caught the virus.
Maybe because we sucked it up and listened to the medical experts who have the proper training and education to deal with infectious diseases . At the moment everyone is out of the hospital and stable. No covid. Basic precautions.

Yeah I mean I do listen, hence why I’m wearing a mask. However, when I’m doing everything I’m told and I’m still talked to like a fucking idiot, that’s where I start to get aggravated. I also guess that I should clarify that this was the receptionist lady at the front desk not a nurse. And I’m sorry I’m all for listening to them but after a half year of this crap going on and literally not knowing anyone all that’s gotten it, kinda lessens the danger aspect to me by a fuck ton.

Well that’s awesome then man. Sounds like the same situation as us. Been to the emergency room 4 or 5 times over the last couple months and had no problems at all. Seems like you didn’t really do anything different though so I’m not sure the medical pros had anything to do with it or you just took basic precautions.

I still haven’t gotten an answer that isn’t disingenuous or I am simply ignored when I ask; “Do you think the covid crisis would have been completely mitigated if the all people who ARENT wearing masks were wearing masks anytime they went to the store?” I honestly don’t believe so. They would have to sanitize hands clothing etc every time they touch something. The absolutely brainwashed people are astounding to me, there are two possible outcomes. 1) Wait for herd immunity 2) find vaccine before herd immunity exists (ideal I suppose)
Basically covid isn’t going away, and masks are not going to solve the problem. I really think the best thing to do is if YOU are at risk you should make arrangements to not have to be at risk to obtain food/care/essentials etc. blaming people who don’t wear masks is really not going to help anything IMO. Anybody who doesn’t use hand sanitizer after putting their mask on is contaminating everything they touch and don’t take home with them in the store.

To be fair alot of doctors and nurses are pretty fucking stupid and the media gave them some kind of war hero complex right now. Its funny because we all know how much they fuck up even on a good day.

nah, of course it's not going away. Even with a vaccine it's probably not going to go away. We're still going to need robust contact tracing and stuff like that after the vaccine hits because if I had to take a wild guess, it's gonna take us a little while to get to herd immunity. People aren't exactly chomping at the bit to line up for it, and I don't totally blame them for being apprehensive of something that got pushed out so fas(but I am getting it when it is available to me.)
Concerning mask use though, all the data is saying that masks cut transmission drastically(not completely, and yes you still have an idiot or two running around without a mask or using it improperly..world's better than no one using it at all), and it's the difference between NY state right now(and the rest of the northeast, tbf, but NY is the best example in this country of mask use and social distancing curbing the effects of the pandemic) and Florida and Texas. The problem is that everyone has to be wearing one for that to work. That said, experts are coming out saying that they will still cut the viral load - so it is still in your own best interest to wear a mask.
Yes it's of my opinion that wearing a mask helps control the pandemic significantly, and I think all you have to do is look at the current data of areas of high mask use and social distancing vs areas of low mask use.
Is it going to make it go away? Nah, even a country like New Zealand has 23 active cases after managing to eradicate it thanks to repatriated travelers. But there's a lot of ground between 'coronavirus going away' and 'coronavirus shutting down all ICU capacity, hospitals in general, and pretty much every industry'.

Don’t comment in one of my threads if you’re too lazy to even read the OP. And exactly, I totally agree with what both of you said. The masks aren’t going to stop this shit and doctors and nurses think they can treat us like shit because we “need” them right now. It’s funny that they always say they do this job because they want to help people. Haha ok, sure.

When trusting medical advice from professionals, remember that medical professionals admitted to manipulating the information the public was given for their own purposes.

why not just have your gf discharge herself then, since they're taking such poor care of her and don't know what they're talking about.
For real though one of my family members is a medically complex baby that could die from covid. He's been in and out of the ICU. I would gladly post all the videos of him giggling in the icu covered in tubes and catheters and ivs and wires and shit if this wasn't a shroom website and I didn't feel sketchy about it. He doesn't get to stay home. He doesn't have a choice. And there are a lot of kids and people like him who don't deserve or want to die because people can't put down their entitlement for a fucking second and cover their nose and mouth.
I know you are wearing it op - probably because you won't even get in the door to see your gf if you don't, thankfully - because there are other people there trying to survive, and the only way that happens is with clear cut protocol that EVERYONE follows. But seriously. It's not that big of a fucking deal to just wear a mask. The level of spoiled brats in this country has me astonished to be honest - can't believe this is the same country of people that stepped up to the plate and made a fuck ton of sacrifices during world war two. It only takes one infected person.
The mask protects you too, btw. Viral load.

- You don't think masks work

- Your basis for not understanding seems to be "well I don't know anyone that has died of COVID."
This is why you're spoken to like an idiot.

No, obviously you all can’t read. I’m sorry you were brought into this world with a complete lack of reading comprehension or just sounding out words. It’s really not that hard. I’ll try one more time in case maybe your mommy is there to read it aloud to you: I WAS TALKED TO LIKE AN IDIOT WHEN I ASKED THE LADY HOW LONG THEY HAD BEEN JUST ALLOWING ONE VISITOR. THAT’S IT. ALL I ASKED. SHE JUST WANTED TO BE A BITCH. NO I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEYRE BEING ISOLATED WHEN IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. MY BASIS IS THAT IM NOT A FUCKING RETARD. DID YOU GET ALL THAT?
Pirate blues - I’m sorry about your family member I really am. You did say he’s already had medical problems. Is he hooked up and all that from just the virus? I understand there are people dealing with and having a really hard time with this. I wear the mask so other people don’t have to worry. I couldn’t care less what happens to me.

@pb You really think NY city is in the shape it’s in because it has a larger percentage of non mask wearers? What about population density, homeless population, and overall ability to afford maintenance/sanitizing/PPE for the stores in that location? For example the upper bucks county area in PA is one of the LEAST infected areas, and I wouldn’t say it’s because we have the best mask compliance....
Also, I do wear a mask 99 % of the time. just to state this so people don’t misinterpret my post as coming from a place of “fuck masks, they don’t work.”

No covid - just epilepsy that is currently unmanaged. Know what makes epilepsy worse? Viruses. Fevers. Luckily he hasn't had it to my knowledge, yet. So far the only one in my immediate family who's had a tested and confirmed case of it is my grandmother. She pulled out of it okay, thankfully - but she was in a nursing home and the death rate in her wing was exactly 1 in 2.
Thankyou. That's really all I want from people. Idc about political persuasions, I know that there is no easy answer to how to deal with this and we all have a lot of different opinions. All I want is people to just cover up their snotholes.
I hope your gf manages to gtfo as soon as she can, take care of yourself too - it's exhausting having loved ones in the hospital.Quote:

I am very familiar with upper bucks and the mask compliance is on point compared to the rest of the state(which I spend more time in than upper bucks at the moment - but I spend a lot of time traveling up and down the state and I was just talking with someone about how pleasantly shocked I was to go to SEPA and see people take it that much more seriously) and the rest of the country. It's not perfect - but about 8/10 people comply on average(very rough estimate) and that aligns with the numbers that a lot of studies(which I will edit this post with a citation for in a moment) say is needed to be effective.
If anything the density and the reliance on public transportation stacked the odds against nyc. Probably the worst place in the country for a pandemic...short of rural american counties with no ICU beds.

Front desk people are there because of their communication skills and sometimes they don't do it as you'd like, but there are protocols in that position/job especially at a hospital. It seems like you took offense to the way the information was passed to you by that person.

Maybe some areas are really shitty with compliance, but even in philly and pottstown Cheltenham etc most cities have similar amounts of people wearing masks. I don’t even know where y’all are finding these people not wearing masks, you can’t get in anywhere without one around here now:

Yeah that’s exactly what it was. I’m just at my tipping point with this crap. She’s pregnant and has hyperemesis gravidarum so we’ve been to the hospital 3 or 4 times with her already and once more a couple months ago when I had an ulcer flare up or something. We understand the protocols and what not. I don’t expect them to know that since they don’t know us but they’ve definitely been a lot more rude and pissy since all this has been going on. And what’s crazy is that the hospitals are empty around here for the most part. I live in bum fuck, TN and each time we’ve gone to the ER there’s been like 1 or 2 other people. This is also all different hospitals. Hell one of them was even in Missouri. The lady there: straight cunt. For no reason. Like wtf?

I think that other people may or may not be as nice as you and they just rip into them or talk stupid shit, so they start being a certain way to everyone due to a Pavlov dog type response) I lived in SE OK for 4.5 years and the south is a different animal my friend, as you know.

Yep lived here my whole life lol. I love it too. For the most part the people are great. However, you also have the people who think their shit don’t stink and that for whatever reason they’re better than you. I think a lot of them think people from other places consider them hill billies or something so they talk down to their own neighbor so they don’t have to be lumped together with them. It’s pathetic really.

American medical anything is fucked. We sacrifice our own people to prop up civilized medical in other countries.
It's in no way ethical. It's so the middlemen can take in profits.

the visitor policy has been in place here since late march
it sucks not to be able to go back and be with your loved one, but everyone's in the same boat. don't take it personally. my friend has been hospitalized for about 10 days in the same hospital system that employs me and even I'm not allowed to go visit him
As to "being spoken to like a child"... well, if you genuinely think masks don't help anyone, and you said something of that nature... you're the one who made yourself look like a child in the eyes of everyone there it's hard to be patient with people who come in thinking they understand infection control better than those whose professional lives are currently, well, consumed by infection control. especially when it's CONSTANT
ps, your eyes don't breathe, cough, or sneeze. the mask is to protect the patients and workers there from any diseases you might have. we wear protective eyegear/faceshields. nobody is stopping from you from doing the same.

i'd probably be pretty irritated if i were in her position. she's probably tired of having to explain shit multiple times a day and just assumes you're gonna give her a hard time about it. she probably didn't mean it. everyone kinda on edge, don't even need a reason anymore.

by the way, if you really want this all to stop, just comply with the measures. we (the healthcare workers) want to it to stop, too- almost certainly even more than you do- but since too many people won't comply, it just keeps on going

Dude god damn. You guys just don’t read shit do you? I’ve said like 3 times that I’ve worn the mask and never asked her shit about it. Literally all I asked was how long they’d been doing the 1 visitor per day thing. And I only asked that because the girl at the door checking temps said they’d been doing it for like a week and that surprised me because the other 5 hospitals we’ve gone to have been doing it for months.

I only read the original post. Your response is fair. I did assume you might have said something simply because you brought it up in the thread. Just chalk it up to the workers being sick of this shit. You were inconvenienced this one time- the last 5 months of work have been more than inconvenient for the workers. They've been a continuously soul-draining pain in the ass. Patience is starting to wear thin all around. It doesn't justify being rude to visitors, but surely you can understand it.
Your girlfriend almost certainly isn't going to die from hyperemesis gravidarum. As you yourself pointed out, many other people out there have loved ones in the hospital with conditions that they will die from, and, with the occasional exception depending upon the facility, even they can't visit. We don't like for it to be this way. But the only way to stop a pandemic this contagious is to take drastic measures.

Well they can get over it. If they don’t like it then they should get a new job. I mean that’s why they got in the medical field in the first place right? To help people? It may not always be easy but that’s part of their job. They get paid to do this. This also isn’t a one time thing. This is our 6th hospital visit in a couple months. My patience is starting to wear thin as well.

And I was asking in a lighthearted manner. Kinda just small talk but something I was actually curious about. It was obvious I wasn’t going to give her a hard time. Once again: she just wanted to be a cunt.

I'm confused, if this is your 6th hospital visit then how are you just now finding out about the visitor policies? Surely they didn't just now institute them there. For many workers, this is their sixth shift this week- every single one of which involves having the same conversation with people you just had over and over and over.
We did, in fact, sign up to help people. The staff there is helping your wife, who is sick. That's their job. If we all went and "found a new job", nobody would be there to help her. What we didn't sign up for is having to explain frustrating and annoying policies to exasperated family members 25 times a day with a smile on our faces. We're not customer service representatives. Just like it's new for you, it's new for us. Like I said, we all want to put this nightmare behind us.
I can almost guarantee you this person didn't "want to be a cunt", but without a video recording I guess there's no way to be certain.

Ok this is the last reply I’m going to make explaining something that I’ve already explained. This is our 6th hospital visit. This is a different hospital than everytime before (because they all treated us like shit). Apparently at this hospital they just implemented it here. Hence, my confusion. Hence, my very short, non threatening question that I’m sure they haven’t gotten 25 times a day. If once. She was being a cunt.

it sucks not to be able to go back and be with your loved one, but everyone's in the same boat. don't take it personally. my friend has been hospitalized for about 10 days in the same hospital system that employs me and even I'm not allowed to go visit him
As to "being spoken to like a child"... well, if you genuinely think masks don't help anyone, and you said something of that nature... you're the one who made yourself look like a child in the eyes of everyone there it's hard to be patient with people who come in thinking they understand infection control better than those whose professional lives are currently, well, consumed by infection control. especially when it's CONSTANT
ps, your eyes don't breathe, cough, or sneeze. the mask is to protect the patients and workers there from any diseases you might have. we wear protective eyegear/faceshields. nobody is stopping from you from doing the same.
"Everyone is in the same boat" as he willfully neglects the poor and takes on the people that his book told him to take on. Dont accept his facade. Poor people die as a direct result of his direct actions. Hes been co dealing this since the beginning

Thank you for the resources. I am confident that media has overblown the crisis; I will review the resources about manipulation. I suppose "overblowing" an idea is manipulating public perception so I am on board.
Still, there is no doubt that the virus impacts some people, and some people, very significantly. A person in my family just lost smell/taste, had persistent headache, and was super drained for days. Other people are more impacted. I'm not sure who to believe anymore, honestly, and I think we can all share in that. Still, as to the masks, COVID or no, let's not pretend they don't mitigate a variety of aerosols when worn correctly. I am interested to see how this 'shamdemic' impacts flu numbers this seasons. What if good hygiene practices in public places reduced all sorts of illness. ???
Thanks again - solid post.

I know you are a good guy/girl, or are aspiring to be, like all of us. I only disputed your logic around wearing masks - sorry this thread derailed in to personal stuff.
Cheers!

yeah, i bet she's probably at home making threads at some hospital receptionist forum board, bragging about how many people's days she ruined.
don't give her that satisfaction. let it go.
also, if everyone is cunt to you where ever you go. that says more about you than it does them.

No need to apologize man. I made it knowing it was a sensitive topic. I’m not trying to argue with anyone, but I’m all for a friendly conversation on the topic. It’s something that definitely needs to be discussed.

Nurses don't fuck around in the best of times, they typically are treated awfully by patients, who think that despite 20 years of experience they are not qualified at what they do. If a nurse dresses you down, it's usually cause you something moronic. They are on the front-line everyday, dealing with this, cut them some slack if they are a bit snippy, not to mention they are working god awful long hours.
Imagine you work a job were you see people die everyday cause they can't control themselves (not just covid, heart disease, obesity, diabetes etc) and now you work in an environment were there is real possibility of getting you loved ones sick if you slip up on protocol.
TL:DR Have some empathy OP, walk a mile in their shoes and see how you would feel.
