Just a Masked Man Sidenote snide comment:
It appears like they are making attempts but at same time its
vague and complicated like some of the places require masks and
some don't.. that's just too lax for my tastes... the problem is
the stairs and the elevator and the people passing through.. at
least they are making attempts to mask I guess... the thing is
either the mask is on or off.. I dunno if you let some of the
people go maskless then it probably won't work but at least this
hospital has got some guidelines which are better than nothing.
Still rules like just making one " individual with respiratory
symptoms (even if COVID testing is negative); mask" but not
making people around that individual mask doesn't seem right...
I kind of think if they make all doctors and staff mask then the
doctors and staff would make all the patients and visitors mask
as well because that's just human behavior. If they act wishy
washy about masking at all then people aren't going to take it
seriously and they are going to ignore "recommendations",
especially if the doctors , nurses, and staff don't mask.
Best rule in there I read was
"If requested by a patient or staff member for an encounter".
..that is redeeming and good. Doesn't mean the waiting room or
the stairs won't have masks vectors but at least the patient can
stand up for themselves during the encounter. However that
doesn't mean a nurse or cat scan operator or somebody won't talk
in the room maskless but at least at least that rule empowers
the voice of the masked patient a bit. More than likely that
means you have the right to tell them right before they duck to
check your temperature or get your weight before they get their
face real close to your masked face you can pull back and say "I
request you put a mask on!".. that is if you're fast enough.
Jeesh.. it would just be a heck of lot easier and more effective
and a heck of a lot safer (which is the point) to make everybody
mask. people go to the hospital a lot mostly and usually when
the are sick (sometimes when they are injured)..theres a lot osf
sick people therefore use mask .. who cares who is sick and who
is not.. just everybody mask to be on safe side... To me it
seems weird and not right to not mask around sick people. Mask
to avoid getting sick and spreading and mask if you are sick...
mask if you are healthy to keep health and mask to keep others
healthy.. That should be part of the goals of hospitals to not
just make people healthy but keep them healthy by preventing
them from getting sick like in the Hippocratic oath .. use the
mask hospital!
One thing I always have thought is kind of weird is making a
sick person wear a mask.. I mean true a sick person should be
quarantined right away ..and true a sick person should ideally
wear a mask but if they having trouble breathing or vomiting ..
I would just assume anyone not wearing a mask might be too sick
to wear one.. We should make effort to be safe from the sick
people and try to make them mask as well but above we should
mask everybody that is able to mask like healthy doctors and
staff and visitors... its just something I wonder about because
its a million times easier to mask when you are healthy rather
than when you are sick short of breath or about to vomit.
You would think all patients and all doctors would have personal
protection .. you know like nobody is allowed to go near any
patients without a mask on. Just to be on the safe side for the
sake of safety.Not just for the sake of the masker alone but for
the principle of the thing and for Saftey's sake... for the
general welfare of everybody strong and weak alike.. you know
like we might well make it a rule for insurance reasons and we
might as well wear masks because there's a lot os sick people
here...duh.
Hospitals have all these strict rules and regulations about
medicines and they have to follow all sorts of rules and even
laws accept for masks of course..its ridiculous they can't just
say you have to wear a mask. What's this choice crap.. airborne
disease don't give the maskless a choice.. airborne diseases do
one thing and that is goes to and from the face receptacles.
I'm stricter in my backyard than a doctor is in the place where
people with respiratory problems often go and airborne diseases
often get spread and even diagnosed.. I kid you not... Nobody
is allowed in my back yard without a mask including my self. In
my back yard is cleaning area where I cut open dirty boxes from
abroad from snotty nosed, sweaty, tired, and possibly sick UPS
and FED EX truck drivers who carry huge boxes bear hugging or
holding them on their shoulders to drop off for me out front.
Trust me you don't wanna be maskless standing next to a Masked
Man who is cutting open boxes from his wheelbarrow with a giant
knife from Pakistan and shooting Clorox mist to disinfect
everything. Nobody could possibly breathe on anything I bring
through my back door after it gets a good cleaning and air dries
in the laundry room for awhile. These are my bulk food items and
goods and these goods go through a series of quarantined areas
until I feel them safe to eat, wear or use as intended. I'm
stricter than the FDA, the CDC, and probably your mamma put
together! lol.. funny but true. I wear a mask for my shipments
surely hospitals can mandate masks for humans and humanitarian
purposes.
I make you wear a mask if you come near me on my personal
property. I don't want to chance getting sick and and I have an
elderly person I love and take care of I'm not willing to risk
her health. When I'm in my back yard I'm actually working in my
mask and listening to music through earbuds while I work.
Personal only: which is me only and only me the Masked Man!
Wear the mask around me no matter what, Its easy for me to say
and I didn't go to school for six years to learn about diseases
and the natural laws as to how diseases get spread.
Wear a mask out of mutual respect for one another and for the
sake of the weakest one that might be in a weakened state if
you're the strongest. Hospitals and doctors need to learn about
mutual respect:"Mutual respect is about everyone being valued
for who they are and what they bring to the table. It involves
seeing people's unique contributions, recognizing and
understanding differences, and celebrating diversity – but also
capitalizing on common ground".
Anyway Beacon Health "recommends" visitors to wear masks while
The Masked Man "INSISTS" on masks otherwise don't visit... don't
even try.
I mean c'mon what kind of name is that Beacon Health! ..lol.. if
you really wanna be a beacon of health then mask!
Wear a mask out of mutual respect,
The Masked Man
P.S. Doctors,
Here's the deal you got five different airborne viruses going on
at once.. Have you determined who's got what when they walk
trough those doors? Have you got your mask on before you
determine what the problem or the illness is? Before you get
into some stranger's mask or face you better be wearing yours
because Doc, you don't even know what your dealing with airborne
disease-wise and you are all the other patients safe from your
other patients? Wear mask please because you're there to
diagnose and prevent diseases amongst other important tasks.

..I guess their last mask policy "ran out" or that its like a
computer update or something ::) I guess they will 'strongly
encourage" by threatening their maskless guests with
tuberculosis, covid, influenza, pneumonia, flu etc?
Not that those threats will work as I don't think its enough to
threaten the maskless with diseases. It needs to be like helmet
law for motorcycles ... it should be the law you mask around
airborne diseases just like in most states motorcycle riders
have to wear helmets whether they like it or not.
Many motorcycle guys wouldn't wear helmets for fear of head
injury.. they just wear helmets because of the law. I got
dummies riding ATV's up and down my street without helmets on
the weekend sometimes that live on my street because nobody
calls the law... its the same with stupid maskless people in the
face of airborne diseases in a sick room they won't mask for
airborne diseases unless its the law and they risk a fine or
confinement or face going to court.
...That mindless thoughtlessness occurs with certain populations
that actually might suffer from head trauma or injury and also
become endangered or depopulated by diseases and illness in the
long run...
I, on the other hand, of course wear a helmet on my bicycle and
I mask when I go outside my door. I have grey cells and an
immunity system to protect and keep from getting beat up by the
pavement or worn out by disease and illness.
The Masked Man
P.S. I guess the helmet law in most states for motorcyclist
probably came partly into existence because insurance companies
don't want to foot the expensive bill and the healthcare
profession got sick of trying to put Humpty Dumpty 's head back
together again during motorcycle wrecks since head injury was
prevalent among motorcycle wrecks...
...It will be nice some day when insurance companies get sick of
compensating the maskless and healthcare profession get sick of
taking care of people who get sick with airborne diseases in
their own facilities under their own healthcare facilities roof
or they get sick of getting sick and start making laws for
masking around airborne diseases treating diseases and illnesses
like the serious things that they are.
The thing about helmets are they only protect the rider whereas
the Mask protects more than one person from illness because it
also prevents spread
I'm not very knowledgable but I am thinking The role of
insurance companies interesting and the world of occupational
hazards as well. An insurance company might not cover you if you
take unnecessary risks or don't follow certain rules.. same with
occupational hazard laws.. there are repercussions that occur if
certain rules aren't followed. They certainly do more than
'strongly encourage' when it comes to following laws in regards
to work places or insurance companies. I mean its illegal to
smoke in many places and I'm sure many rules like this could
apply to mask and airborne diseases. I'm just thinking outloud,
brainstorming on the matter perhaps other forum members have
more experience than I about how laws and policies and mandates
work and are established to get people to follow rules such as
masking around health threatening and life threatening airborne
highly contagious diseases and illnesses.
