Had a conversation with a nurse last night (not in a hospital). Got her onto the subject of face masks. She hates them. She agreed that they do nothing.
I asked her how many doctors and nurses in her hospital does she think really know that the face masks do nothing at all.
She said, "They all know. They're just lying about it."
Yep.
Yeah, except far fewer will die from masks as from the kill shot. Maybe mask obedience was a trial run for vax obedience.
The masks hide a good portion of the non verbal communications via facial cues and serve to dehumanize people. The lack of emotional cues causes frustration and misunderstanding and lowers human connection which in turn dehumanizes patients. It's much easier to mistreat the masked when there is no connection; easier to advise a treatment that may harm after months of tension and ambivalence. Couple the cart blanch to throw customer service out the window because of guidelines which engender openly aggressive and hostile treatment to patients and visitors alike.
