       Spike in respiratory cases causes NC healthcare org to limit vis

       SUMMARY - Duke Health, a North Carolina organization that
       encompasses a variety of healthcare schools and hospitals, has
       ordered that visitation be limited to all of their hospitals and
       ambulatory surgery centers as January 6, 2025, due to a spike in
       respiratory illnesses, including Covid-19 cases. Daytime
       visitors for patients will be limited to no more than two people
       ages 12 and older, while overnight visitors must be at least 18
       years old unless they are the parent or caregiver of a pediatric
       patient. Masking is urged, but not required, for all visitors.

       "Masking is urged, but not required, for all visitors."
       Then the problem will continue. We're 5 years into this and
       healthcare still refuses to do what's needed.

       This hits a nerve for the Masked Man! :) Nothing makes the
       Masked man more berserk than hearing about maskless doctors,
       nurses and sick people holding gatherings in close quarters! So
       help me God its all I can do from not hurling cuss words and
       insult upon insult upon these imposters who go maskless and
       claim to heal people of diseases at same time...
       Yeah its crazy..whatever happen to the Hippocratic oath about
       preventing disease ...masks reduce airborne disease infection
       and spread...What kind of rule is that: "Masking is urged, but
       not required, for all visitors."!? That basically means you
       don't have to wear a mask and go ahead and breathe in and
       breathe out diseases upon one another!
       ...its like the doctors & nurses don't have to mask but a
       visitor who might offer to wear a mask would be rejected. lol..
       if a little school aged kid wore a mask and he or she was 11
       years old he wouldn't be able to visit the hospital yet its okay
       for a maskless adult to enter the sickroom.. these rules are
       atrocious ..the cdc merely recommends masks while there is a
       spike in respiratory illnesses.. aren't respiratory diseases
       airborne diseases? duh... for some reason the word "quack" comes
       to my mind when I read about facilities that house maskless
       doctor's, maskless nurses, and maskless visitor's  who treat
       patients respiratory diseases... I wear a mask when I go outside
       my house.. these medical people are simply lazy.  I can't
       understand it. Mask for covid and therefore ya mask for whooping
       cough, influenza, strep etc. they might as well mask for one
       airborne disease since masking will also help prevent  like five
       of the other airborne disease floating around right now.
       Maskless People who raise poultry are no better. Another five
       years might very well eliminate some of these people.
       They ought to limit maskless doctors from entering the medical
       facility. seriously Mask for covid and your masking for all the
       other airborne diseases as well.. now that's a bargain and an
       advantage!
       I guarantee you they'd let a maskless camera man and a maskless
       news anchor enter their dirty hospital halls and elevator for a
       maskless interview of how hard they have it at these hospitals
       .. they'sll smile for a photo for the press and a news story so
       vain are these so called professional healthcare workers. They
       do it all the time.. maskless doctors and nurses walking the
       dirty hospital hallways with some maskless news anchor and
       maskless cameraman on the 6 o'clock news... they are dying for
       the press always complaining about the spike in respiratory
       diseases and such and how overwhelmed they are with illnesses.
       Its absolutely ridiculous but true.
       These are the
       Top 8 Respiratory Illnesses and Diseases:
       from
       UnityPoint Health News and Articles Top 8 Respiratory Illnesses
       and Diseases
       (non of the following people people seeking treatment for a
       respiratory illnesses should be exposed to the maskless people
       in healthcare facilities or take unnecessary risks with airborne
       diseases nor should they be allowed to infect others with
       airborne diseases) :
       Asthma
       Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
       Chronic Bronchitis
       Emphysema
       Lung Cancer
       Cystic Fibrosis/Bronchiectasis
       Pneumonia
       Walking Pneumonia
       Pleural Effusion
       Additional Illness – COVID-19
       ...It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that masks need to be
       worn when in close contact with people suffering from the
       aforementioned respiratory illnesses. Duke Health, a North
       Carolina organization that encompasses a variety of healthcare
       schools and hospitals is basically saying you can wear a mask
       but you don't have to around people suffering from the
       aforementioned respiratory diseases.. uh what drugs are these
       doctors on!?
       Medicine may not be an exact science but c'mon doctors at least
       use some common sense and mask up and have people around you
       mask up when dealing with airborne diseases! Just look up the
       definition of airborne disease and that should suffice in
       explaining why to wear a mask.
       If doctors and nurses and healthcare people how an airborne
       disease works and how it come out of a sick person's face and
       they know that mask helps prevent the transmission of the
       diseases amongst their patients, doctor and staff then they know
       they need to mask its just that simple. They are pretending to
       be dumb. They are playing dumb. They just don't want to wear the
       mask..they just don't have the discipline because its simply
       illogical and unethical not to if they understand the nature of
       airborne diseases and how many they are uo against. They need to
       mask for the sake of the patient.. doctors took an oath and yet
       they refuse to mask...
       ...we have MD here in my little town that won't mask for me and
       my loved one who mask. He says he doesn't have to. It just ain't
       right. It's just not right for our MD  to refuse to  mask for us
       upon request. That's not loving or even caring or being
       sensitive to our needs or health. I actually think its evil so
       we don't see him and according to a masked nurse practitioner
       whom we did see; she told us they lost many patients to covid. I
       take it that means they died.
       Wear a Mask around spikes in respiratory illnesses disease,
       There but for the grace of the mask go I, Its against my
       religion not to wear a mask around airborne diseased people,
       The Masked Man

       Masking should be made mandatory in all healthcare settings
       during times of high virus spread. In fact, they should just be
       mandatory all year round in healthcare to limit the spread and
       keep hospital acquired infections down.

       Yes Indeed, If a scientist was studying this airborne germ/virus
       in a laboratory, that scientist would be required to wear a mask
       and gloves and it should be the same rules for Doctors and those
       working with the virus once the virus is outside laboratory
       settings as well.
