First work duties of the day, accompanying a client to their oncology appointment.

3 masked patients out of 12 in waiting room so we waited in hallway. 2 unmasked staff members seen behind reception desks. Doctors are masked.

@PhoenixSerenity sounds very similar to my doc's. Conflicting messaging too. Signs in reception saying masks are recommended and preferred/requested (but not mandated) yet some staff wearing and some not. However a written appointment confirmation states that mask wearing WILL be required.
I think though the root cause of the wishy washyness is lack of gov/legal mandate. When masking was mandatory 'that was that' barring medical exemption.

@PhoenixSerenity what a nightmare. At least here it's not for the same reason, more down to lack of direction since the previous right wing idiot govt. declared "It's over". That said I think the current govt. has to step up. "But 'the people' won't like it" is holding too much sway by far.

@nigelharpur
Our eugenics loving PHO, Bonnie the Monster Henry also declared covid pandemic was over. I truly HATE HER.

I remember people being very upset when smoking was banned indoors too. It took about 5 years for it to be normalized.

@PhoenixSerenity I have read about her, what a scumbag.
