No, SARS-CoV-2 isn’t a little bit airborne. It’s not “situationally” airborne. It’s an AIRBORNE VIRUS, spreads via the air. I’m granting an amnesty on people who said (5y ago) that it wasn’t. I won’t say I told you so if you finally acknowledge the evidence. Let’s just get this right and move on.

It’s 2025… can we start masking in hospitals this year? Can we stop insinuating that hospital acquired covid is “inevitable” or that those who die were going to “die anyways”? Can we call it what it is? An epic failure of infection control to protect those who put their lives in your hands:
disabledginger.com
A Plea to Maskless Healthcare Workers from Vulnerable Patients
If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.

It’s also your right to ask for a social worker or nurse supervisor if you feel you’re not being taken seriously. Everyone makes mistakes - ER staff included. No one will fight for your life as effectively as you will - so if you think something is missed don’t be afraid to speak up /14
