I feel strongly both ways…..lol!
M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
Being informed is a journey. Those who mistake it for a destination are the ones who make discussions so difficult.
She blurted. Could be wrong. Ya know.

I work in a large quaternary care hospital. I am mostly involved in diagnosis (expected/incidental/screening), monitoring for acute complications (bleeds, clots, secondary infections), evaluations after the initial disease course (destroyed lungs, ‘long Covid’ brain scans), and even perform the rare procedure on these patients.
I have seen each wave firsthand (and before the TV/local health department). I have seen the differences between the variants.
I have been to international conferences and heard others physicians experiences through lectures.

Michael T. Osterholm helped me early on understand the nature of the virus and why is it referred to as an aerosolized virus. Masking and distance made sense.

Infectious disease control may be serious business in hospitals, but it's far from serious enough. It varies widely from hospital to hospital. One of my colleagues would never have known he had COVID if the other hospital where he works (it's a thing in my field--there simply aren't enough of us to go around and the pay is good) didn't test daily. And now we suspect that a different coworker is down (symptomatic) with the latest COVID variant. No word yet. But back to infectious disease: hand sanitation still isn't what it should be at any of the local hospitals or other health care facilities. There are entirely too many dicknoses running around even in my workplace. We don't have enough biosafety cabinets. Aerosol prevention isn't even available for most of our centrifuges.
None of that is to say that masking, hand hygiene and vaccination aren't all good and prudent things to do.
