There are so many worse things than covid out there and influenza is nearly as bad. Better make it permanent. Oh by the way masks do not prevent the spread of disease so if you are really afraid I would add a face shield gown and gloves to your mask. All single use except the face shield can be wiped down with a viricidal wipe .I hope you get over your fear because living in fear must really stink. By all means take whatever precautions make you feel better but remember - those who fit the disease in New York were largely those who stayed in and distanced. There are no guarantees in life
Just curious...are your patients required to wear masks to enter your office? My doctor requires them. No one without one is permitted inside. I am not permitted to enter my veterinarian’s office without one. How about your office?
Doesn’t Tuberculosis cause over 1 million deaths regularly worldwide? I will admit though that it’s mostly poor countries that have most of the TB deaths though.
