Novant Health, NC - Visitor restrictions "to reduce the spr
ead of respiratory viruses."
By: Steve Date: January 20, 2025, 1:35 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
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!?
