SUMMARY - Corewell Health, a healthcare system in the state of
Michigan, announced today (2025-01-10) that it is restricting
the number of visitors to their pediatric units as a result of
an increase in "respiratory illnesses." There was no
recommendation of masking in the press release.

Masked man side comment for what it is worth :
I just can't help but comment on this..Oh that's so backwards...
limiting visitors but not masking! They need to limit the
maskless.
Data Report's own experience of going to urgent care today
reminds us how easy it would be to infect these maskless
healthcare workers. Data Report tells us of going to Urgent care
today for scary chest problems and the receptionist isn't
masking... it goes to show Data Report was positive and goes to
Urgent Care and some receptionist isn't masking for a patient
who is positive for covid!... its ridiculous!
Maskless people are asking for it. Its just bizarre that a
receptionist wouldn't mask in front a patient who has admittedly
tested positive for covid...totally reckless and the
receptionist could carry covid to others. I just don't get it.
They need to limit the maskless people in healthcare for their
own safety.. they need to get rid of the maskless people in
health care. Its just poses too great a risk to the maskless and
those they have contact with. Its just so weird not to mask
around a person that says they are really sick and hurtin' and
that its contagious!

Masked Man makes another point...
One more point about receptionists not wearing masks... They are
endangering everybody there including Data Report who visited
and other patients and visitors who go to urgent care because
you can catch other things on top of what ya already got.. in
other words anybody sick with covid or pneumonia that is
visiting urgent health care or a healthcare facility can catch
another illness more than possibly from unmasked receptionist.
You see people enter healthcare because they are already sick
therefore they are already considered 'at risk' patients. A
covid patient can catch a the flu because some unmasked doctor
breathes on their patient while using stethoscope... It just
doesn't make sense that an unmasked receptionist would be
allowed to risk infecting patients with something something on
top of what they already have.
People in charge of determining whether others have an illness
or not shouldn't breathe on their specimens.
If you're really on top of how airborne diseases work, You don't
breathe in and out germs or viruses in a laboratory setting so
why should ya breathe in and out germs of viruses outside the
laboratory setting where people are already coming in sick?
These doctors go to school for 6 years and they can't seem to
grasp this simple concept about how people can get infected with
more than one airborne diseases by others like their own
maskless faces, maskless staff and maskless receptionists.
Not long ago a stranger told me how he went into a doctor's
office with covid then contracted pneumonia while he was there
and then had to go to hospital for six months where he was told
he'd never walk again. That guy didn't wear a mask and pumped
out my septic tank. While I kept my distance from him across the
yard my mask.
Also my significant other's cousin picked up covid in a hospital
while he was getting surgery or something and then died of
covid.. he got covid from his hospital stay.
When I was a little kid in the mid 70's many doctors understood
this concept not to breathe on your specimen because I had
really bad allergy asthma and had to go into hospital and they
constructed a tent for me so that other patients wouldn't spread
germs to me when I was in a weakened state. My parents visited
me outside the tent. So in the 70's doctor's were aware of this
phenomena of how airborne diseases can affect the patient who is
already in a "weakened state" due to an illness. (That's a
doctor's job to protect prevent diseases and save lives).
When ya work with microscopes to study microscopic entities It’s
generally considered a taboo or a big no-no to accidentally
breathe on the slide plate that where the thing is that you are
observing nor should you fog up the microscope’ lense with your
breath and you’d get an F for contaminating your work and the
specimen your studying.. it should be the same with human
specimens that are already in a weakened state seeking care.
Wear a masks doctors if there is anything scientific about your
approach in regards to airborne diseases.
Also doctors, you just have to stay up to date with things and
accept the fact that in the last five years these new diseases
such as covid are actually dangerous... you simply want to do
everything possible to lower risk of catching and transmitting
diseases amongst yourselves staff and those you care for namely
your patients. You want to promote circulation in your buildings
and you definitely should Mask when working around airborne
diseases. Hygiene as well as constant custodial cleaning should
be part of your arsenal against airborne diseases as well... its
just not like it used to be.
Also I suggest doctors keep up to date by reading the archives
in this sight.. if you're a doctor you'd have to be a fool not
to peruse these handy archives of the latest happenings in
regards to covid , the bird flu and all the other viruses going
around... Follow the data here at Data Report Info if you want
to keep tabs on what's really going on all over the world right
now. Its handy to use this forum!
