Sure, its highly contagious when you're an RN on a floor soley treating infected patients for 12 hrs a day. Go to a room full of kids with a cold, you've got a good chance of getting one too. Thats not the same as going out in public where the numbers of positive cases are sometimes less than 1%, your chances are pretty good. Those who are susceptible or high risk should take precautions, just like with a gazillion other illnesses. Everyone else should be able to live freely without having masks that arent proven effective mandated on them.
Also my hospital doesnt suck, it was a COVID hub that got transfers from the other hospitals so keep your snide comments to yourself. My guess is by "I work in a hospital", you're probably in housekeeping or a tech at best, not providing direct care to fellow Americans.
I'm a covid RN and sometimes HUC. Dunno how you expect me to prove it. And I've never advocated mandatory masks, only said they do work (not to be confused with 100% effective) and that IF you're able to, you probably should. That's not an outrageous statement to make.
No need to prove it friend, its the internets. I apologize for insinuating you're for mandated masks, and while I don't see any hard evidence showing they ARE effective, I can agree that for the high risk group, they're probably a good idea.
