I work in a hospital and have to wear a mask. Haven't caught covid-19 unless I'm one of the asymptomatic cases. None of my coworkers have caught it either, and we're routinely on our covid ward. Masks work. Please use them if you're able to. Edit - y'all acting retarded like libs. Check yourself.

I work in a hospital as well and over 20 staff on the COVID floor caught it using hand hygiene, contact precautions and masks soooo what's your point? Also do your research on "asymptomatic spread', its a farse just like mask effectiveness.

But the other people who replied to me said covid wasn't actually very contagious. But you're saying over 20 staff caught it. Let's try to agree on facts. Is covid highly contagious?

Oh and yeah we haven't had a staff outbreak here, at all. I'm wondering why your hospital sucks so much.

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.
