Briefly Noted: Avoid The Paranoid!

Yesterday at the hospital, well, it’s about the only hospital in our neck of the woods that requires masks on your face. It was a twelve hour day for us. I spent a fair amount of time hiking around outside to get some exercise, but during the time I was indoors I let the mask they gave me rest on my mustache, below my nose and not really covering my mouth. They only people who challenged me were the people supervising the “surgery lounge” waiting room. I ignored them. No actual medical personnel said a thing, and for the hours my wife and I were together we didn’t mask at all. I also saw medical people surreptitiously unmasking and remasking. They probably knew how inane the whole thing is because they’d seen this PSA from 2019:

This interview between billionaire David Rubenstein and Doctor Fauci is from 2019. Fauci laughs when asked if people should wear a mask to prevent an infectious disease and says, "No, you avoid all the paranoid aspects and do something positive." #TrustTheScience
