I work in a hospital. I work with covid. We wear N95 masks to protect ourselves or we wear respirator.
No one actually cares though. I walk into covid rooms with no protection all the time. We don’t get sick with covid, I got it in spring 2020 but after that we are slowly inoculated daily.
I’m the least scared person, I walk in front of coughing covid patients without one fuck.
Now if you are elderly, overweight or diabetic, you should not get a bad flu. It’s gonna suck. They choke for weeks, not much we can do but oxygen.
We wear masks to protect others from large droplets that can get in the eyes or land in the mouth. There’s basically a spit spray coming out of your mouth when we talk, you’ve seen it.
No one I work with thinks masks protect you from covid. We wear them so our hospitals can turn down requests for covid pay and to be bonded by insurance.
We wear masks to protect the patients. When we wear masks, in surgery or I do when I do a sterile dressing change etc, I’ve always known it was to prevent spit coming out of my mouth and hurting a vulnerable patient.
I do realize the news media and others got it wrong.
I mean, does a surgeon wear a mask to protect himself? Kinda, but it’s really for the patients.
The health agencies also know masking protects others. They encourage masks so people stop spitting covid on each other. Just because the news media entertainment idiots don’t fucking understand doesn’t mean it’s futile.
I for sure know that if I’m sick, I wear a mask at work so I don’t get my patients sick. And I know the health department wants me to wear a mask so my dirty covid spit doesn’t spray down an orphanage or something.
It’s likely that in some cases, not spitting large droplets might prevent infection, but we don’t always want to not get infected. Like how I’m inoculated, we just want small doses of an infection so we don’t get as sick but build great immunity. Instead of getting 600 trillion viruses in one spit spray, you might get 1/3 of that, leading to great natural immunity without the consequences of a vomiting, choking infection.

You don’t want someone’s dirty spit on you.
