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:

I got what you meant OP. This is a great example of how reactionary people have become over this stuff and why you were right to say this has to stop

rural NEPA lol.
At least one asshole in the stores here without fail. There's so many old people out around here though that the majority people really do seem to take it seriously, and I have only seen more and more people get better about it.

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?

Well, I could say it's a regional thing in your case. (maybe not, lol. 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.
-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

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.

I'm not a part of this discussion, or even this community by any means.... but, I just wanted to say

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.
