Couldn't avoid the damned hospital this week for some "specialist" services. I can refuse unsafe care and resign to die at home in the paddock only so far as I do not have advanced diagnostics that may mildly help my wretched quality of life. I was the literal only person, patient, admin or clinician with a respirator. And every single one of those parties had something shitty to say at every turn. I was uncommonly chill, I mean punching them would just get their juice on my nitriles. #WearAMask

And the CDC simultaneously says: TB is spread through the air from one person to another. and then under Prevention (and frankly, anywhere else) they do not say the word #mask.

I mean, they even say:

These germs can stay in the air for several hours, depending on the environment. TB germs are more likely to spread in indoor areas or other places with poor air circulation (such as a closed vehicle) than in outdoor areas. People who breathe in the air become infected with TB.

But they can't actually mention the possibility of #masking. On this page about the causes of TB they discuss if you have active TB disease, meaning you're probably actively contagious, they say "Your health care provider will tell you what steps you can take to keep from spreading TB germs to others". I sure hope "your health care provider" has the sense to say "#WearAMask".

I'd like to know what justification they have to not mention masking.

COVID minimizers have said for years that “if” it was that dangerous we would see increases in other illnesses

We’re at that stage, and no one is talking about it. Deny. Deflect. Obfuscate.

“Other illnesses that weaken the immune system and allow latent TB infections to emerge may also be at play”

Got my hair cut this morning and almost considered not wearing a mask to do so, but my common sense kicked in and I did.

During the cut I realized my barber was sniffing a lot and had to stop to blow his nose. I probably dodged a bullet there of some kind.

People don’t “get” chronic illness until it happens to them or someone they love.

The same goes for preventative health measures. Folks take unnecessary risks believing they’ll be the exception.

When the worst happens, do they adapt?

Some do. But the parents of a Texas child who died of measles don’t fall into that category.

They lost their child and are still recommending parents don’t vaccinate their children. The reason? The other 4 kids had “mild” cases

This is ghastly.
