Now the medical establishment is advising 2, 3, even 4 masks.
Wondering if any of you have seen any sheep following this new directive.

Yep! I am a nurse and after the scientific breakthrough about multiple masks was announced, I saw many people coming in to the hospital with 2+ masks on. Sigh.
I come into shift with my one mask required in the building by my work. Then I get on my covid unit. Put my n95 on. My mask over it. My scrub cap on. And my goggles on my head. And get to work. It sucks.
The N95 masks often have a one-way valve so you can breathe out easily. It should be easy to "improve" the valve to make it two-way.
The ones we use don’t have a valve. It’s a complete seal. I’d post a photo from before shift but don’t wanna clog up the feed. We are constantly disinfecting our n95: and mask so we can take breaks and remove them. The ear pain is insane. But they are definitely hard to breathe in. Especially with a second mask over it and running around taking vitals. Giving bed baths and going room to room. Oh well. It’s the job. ??♀️
I ask myself these questions every day. I it work in an outpatient endoscopy setting, so I don't have to deal with the same issues as inpatient nurses, etc.. but it's SO hard to stand up to literally an entire hospital of brainwashed individuals. And even harder to push back when you fear for your job and livelihood. Instead, I try to take EVERY opportunity I can to drop little redpill hints on my patients while we are talking throughout the course of their appointment. I feel like it's the most effective way for me to contribute. Plant seeds of doubt and maybe get people to start asking some questions.
I find that essentially every patient wants to talk about covid and how tired they are of everything that's happening- most people can at least see that at this point, something is just simply not adding up. I tread lightly because everyone is obviously different when it comes to what they can handle for information, and some people I just can tell immediately that I won't even TRY to approach the topic haha (we all know what type of person these are...). It is encouraging to me though, that so many people are beginning to open their eyes to the bigger picture.
I also am asked very frequently about the vaccine and I take great pride in telling people that I will NOT be getting it, and then it opens the door to telling them my reasons why!
I don't know what effect these conversations have in the long term, but even if it causes a little crack in the narrative for them, then I feel like I'm at least doing something!!
I agree entirely. It's exhausting in every way possible. And I hate that there are no easy answers. I know that there's strength in numbers though, so that seems the most logical place to start... Building a local community of people who are like-minded and want to see change. Our voices are important. I have to believe that the conversations we have with others will ultimately have some kind of impact, so we need to keep talking. Our money has a lot of power too, and I love the idea of putting our dollars into the people, the businesses, etc, who are also standing up against this- however rare those might be right now. But maybe the more we do this, the more effective we will be in inspiring others to follow suit?? Or maybe these are all just nice thoughts and I have no clue what I'm talking about. ? I just think that small scale, local victories are the way we win this. Idk. I'm desperate.
For me personally though, I've decided my line in the sand is the vaccine. If that becomes mandatory for my job, I'm out. I can't see potentially losing my job for pushing back over the mask, or the stupid goggles we have to wear now. Those things are obnoxious, but that's really the extent of it. I will not put something in my body that I do not want in my body. No one is going to tell me otherwise. So for me personally, that will be my big stand up and walk away moment. (I secretly hope for this because it would be a fun statement to make! And I know I wouldn't be alone!!)
Likely it’s all about the money, treatment of COVID pays better than treating the flu. It hard to get those COVID bucks unless their death is ruled as such. As with every restriction it comes down to one of two things, money or power, and sometimes both.
