Hospitals limit visitation as new flu strain spreads across
Eastern Carolina
by Emilia Paz
Mon, January 5, 2026 at 5:39 PM
“Fischer said people can spread the flu for up to two days
before showing symptoms, which increases the risk in hospital
settings…
Health officials also stress frequent handwashing as one of the
most effective ways to prevent illness.
“In addition to CarolinaEast, ECU Health, Carteret Health Care,
and Onslow Memorial Hospital have also implemented visitation
restrictions as they work to prevent further spread of the flu.“
Onslow Memorial Hospital
Under the new guidelines, visitors 11 years old and younger are
prohibited from all inpatient areas and waiting rooms.
In addition, any visitors showing respiratory symptoms are also
prohibited from those areas, regardless of age.
Healthy visitors of any age are still allowed in hospital
lobbies and retail or food service locations.
ECU Health
Due to high volumes, ECU Health may ask visitors to wait in an
alternate off-unit location to adhere with facility safety
protocols.
Carteret Health Care
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
Carteret Health Care is currently experiencing
higher-than-expected levels of influenza. Because respiratory
illnesses can spread quickly in larger groups, we highly
encourage limiting visitors to 1 - 2 individuals at this time to
help keep our patients and staff safe.

COMMENT:
“Fischer said people can spread the flu for up to two days
before showing symptoms, which increases the risk in hospital
settings…“
..So here are three hospitals that aren’t going to use masks.
“Healthy visitors of any age are still allowed in hospital
lobbies and retail or food service locations”
...I suppose the hospital doesnt think the flu can exist up to
two days before showing symptoms, which increases the risk in
hospital lobbies and retail or food service locations.
..So hospitals admit they aren't taking measures to protect
visitors and guests from the contagious illness that the
patients bring in as well. Not a single hospital as of yet has
said: Wear a mask so you don't catch the flu because we have
patients with the flu here.
I don’t believe for a moment that the hospitals mentioned in
this article who are busy caring for flu victims and in the
midst of a flu outbreak nationwide have time to fully diagnose
all these maskless healthy people moreover even if they were
able to determine the health of guests and visitors I certainly
don’t see any efforts to protect them from the flu by suggesting
mask usage along with other precautions.
Moreover I see nothing that signifies that staff is going to
mask and use precautions such as masking to prevent the spread
of airborne illness betwixt them, their patients or the visitors
and guests even if the visitors and guests are perfectly
healthy.
.. sounds like they are hosting a super spreader event by their
own admission.
…Sounds like they definitely aren’t going to suggest to those
they magically have deemed to be healthy to take precautions
such as masking to prevent their healthy individuals from
catching the flu from their patients.
I guess the hospitals here are under the false impression their
staff don’t have to mask because they are healthy and ‘healthy’
doctors and nurses here also don’t have to mask because they are
healthy and haven’t caught the flu yet while exposing themselves
to the flu despite Fischer having said “people can spread the
flu for up to two days before showing symptoms, which increases
the risk in hospital settings”
There certainly doesn’t seem to be any building design or
infrastructure in place in the engineering sense …nothing
-about the building design or it’s rooms, elevators and
corridors and waiting rooms that can prevent the virus and the
airborne illness and disease from having great success
spreading and finding hosts to multiply in betwixt the healthy
and the sick.

Masking Tracking Thread Merits
Note on the merits and usefulness of this thread:
Just offhand, I can't help but marvel at the usefulness of this
thread. This is an archive that has scientific merit and serves
to better our care and conditions. Here is but a partial list
of merits of this tracking thread that I am sure will evolve and
grow....
1) Over time there may be patterns between the precautions
hospitals take and correspondence of the actual health
conditions of that area of people who attend those medical
facilities.
2) This Masking Thread may even even serve as a consumer
reports of sorts for patients.
3) I can see here where models of the ideal hospital conditions
might form from these tracking threads.
4) Maybe hospitals themselves will see patterns of success rates
in illness and prevention and compete with who can give the best
care for their patients just by studying these Masking tracking
archives.
5) Just imagine how useful publicly accessible archive and
history of what hospitals did and do do and how they modify
their care during times of illnesscould prove to help us all!
These are important historical and scientific data, mile
markers, measures, rates, and records that can serve to match up
with other records that will prove invaluable in the medical
care world that can only prove beneficial to the human condition
at large.
Keep up the good work Data Report Info! May the list of Masking
Tracking merits and data continue to be documented!
The Masked Man
NOTE: Just as Flu is at it highest rate ever recorded since
records of the CDC in 1997, Data Report Info has produced a
pragmatic archive of significance called the Masking Tracking
Thread which begun in 2025 and now in 2026 and we have just
begun to keep track of such masking behavior!

COMMENT: Why aren't there more events like this?
I would love to see more events like this!
Today I just got back from my fourth Masked Bicycle ride 6 mile
round trip to Women's agricultural Center and back .. I picked
up my box of vegetables in my safety mask! I just drink a ton of
water at home before I stick my mask on so I don't have to take
my mask off even once during the whole trip. I stick a box of
vegetables in a backpack and ride home. It was a nice ride.
Would have loved to see other people masking in public like
myself ...but whatever.. not only did I pickup my vegetables,
but I listened to music the whole time through my earbuds.. last
trip I listened to a historian/philosopher giving a lecture
about some classic literature through my earbuds as I rode my
bicycle up and down sidewalks and sections of road and across
town and back in my mask,

COMMENT:
This is smart to encourage masking at gatherings... This kind of
mask encouragement should exist at all crowded gatherings, if
you ask me. They can see it coming..
Masks save lives and trouble,
Stopping a problem before it starts is much easier and cheaper
than fixing it later. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure",
