I’m in hospital for a surgery. Staffs don’t wear masks. Many of them cough. In the recovery room there is free unlimited access for visitors and you’re of course with other patients. Another patient here has three visitors. No masks. No distance. No barriers.
I am trying to discharge myself because I’m legitimately worried I’ll catch something from someone else (if I haven’t already).
Hospitals don’t care about COVID. Why would anyone be surprised about the general population when the most medical institution there is doesn’t?
Risk of death and severe complications are significantly lessened due to vaccines and medications like paxlovid.
That said, ERs are totally a shitshow these days.
Right, but getting medications that are no longer government subsidized is tough. My mom and dad both got covid, their doctors said due to their ages they should be taking more serious medication for it, the medication is $1,600.00. they had to skip the meds AND continue to go to work.
