Well, my family would love a GP with enough wisdom to be taking basic preventative measures. It is a real struggle to trust the ability of a GP if they're in denial about covid19, let alone the other airborne risks.

My colleagues label me as anxious for not dropping my mitigations. I wear N95 which is plastered on my face until I get in my car. I have ionmax aire x in my consulting room. Aranet around 480-500+. Windows opened. Colleagues keep asking me to try not to worry. Ahahahahha

Would they encourage a builder, firefighter, or spray painter to forgo their PPC/PPE? What about a welder bike rider or driver? I really don't understand GPs blasé attitude to airborne threats.

We have a few of those on our hospice program. Lungs destroyed.

My father caught Covid from at an oncology hospital. His oncologist doesn’t wear a mask. I can count how many staff wore surgical masks. No one with N95. Hepas all turned off. I’m seeing so many aggressive cancers in younger patients. Beyond tragedy.

I just tell them I don't want their kids' cold bc I have a lot of stuff to do this week and it's an inconvenient time for a cold... which no one has argued with. Made me wonder if we could turn that into a public health campaign lol: "mask until you have time for a cold" bc when does that day come?

Meanwhile, my son's GP just denied him getting a note that says he wears a mask for health reasons (not catching bugs) so he can keep wearing it at school.

Being forced to be exposed to covid (and all other airborne pathogens) all day is next level cruelty.
