       Novant Health, NC - Visitor restrictions "to reduce the spr
       ead of respiratory viruses."

       SUMMARY - Novant Health, a healthcare provider in the state of
       North Carolina, has begun asking persons aged 13 and younger
       from visiting Novant Health hospitals, in an effort "to reduce
       the spread of respiratory viruses." Masks remain optional for
       visitors. People who are seeking treatment at these hospitals
       are not subject to the restriction but will be asked to wear a
       mask.
       COMMENTARY - Nowhere in the press release do they describe how
       they will 'ask' Covid-19 not to infect anyone not wearing a
       mask.

       I'm trying to grasp the reasoning here as to why they don't
       mandate guests, doctors and staff to wear masks no matter
       what... Okay here's the Scenario: Guy get sick .. has trouble
       breathing or puking and dehydrating or whatever.. Sick guy goes
       to place where people gather around him to find out what is
       wrong. Okay right there why aren't doctor's nurses, staff and
       guests masking as they gather around the sick guy!? Aren't
       people supposed to protect their health with a mask and stop the
       contagion  while determining what is wrong with an extremely
       sick guy who might not even be able to stomach wearing a mask?
       Its a mystery disease but its even more of a mystery as to why
       people don't mask around the mystery disease,
       Masked Man
       P.S. I hate to say this but what kind of moron goes maskless  up
       to a someone who has a mystery disease? It borders on being
       suicidal to knowingly breathe in and out germs and risk exposure
       like that in front of sick people. If a person is sick is it not
       wise to beware and take extra precautions to prevent ourselves
       and others from getting sick?
       I also don't get the logic or the reasoning behind masking
       someone like an elderly lady who is having trouble breathing and
       is severely sick ..it might very well be dangerous for her in
       her condition to mask and therefore it just makes sense that the
       'healthy ' doctors and nurses  who are able to wear masks do so.
       Okay here's one more. Its  rhetorical question of sorts I guess:
       Say there's an animal and its real sick and we don't even know
       why it sick or what made it sick.. we don't know squat about it
       and  it might even die, who in their in right mind with any
       degree of intelligence would go up to the super sick or dying
       animal and just breathe it in!?
