I am a physician in a private practice in FL next door to an urgent care. Whenever I walk over there to get my mail, the lobby is empty and the nurses are texting on their phones. I even asked them over the summer how the delta was affecting things. They giggled and said it was the "older people/worried well with sniffles who had been vaxxed who were testing positive". The populace is still scared to go there. It worries me that they will shut down due to going bankrupt. The hospitals have a financial incentive to continue to "cry covid" and get the sickest intubated people shuffled thru, there is a government bounty tied to the +PCR and until that is rescinded--I can dream right?--things will never be normal. I read a recent article that stated 20% of all healthcare workers over the past 18 months have been reshuffled/retired/quit/started new jobs and this churn is causing massive stress to those left behind in the trenches. The doctors and nurses are in hysterics over having to mask/gown all day long for 18 months--every patient is a bag of virus!--my question is why continue to mask if you're not sick/ symptoms? STOP THE PERFORMANCE THEATER. I no longer wear a mask in my office nor do I "make" anybody wear it either. I wore the same dirty mask for 3 weeks at a time last year when I couldn't buy any for my clinic and I literally had 5 masks left, and after my 3rd eyelid chalazion from steam blowing up to my eyes and the end of the "Health Emergency" in FL, I stopped in May 2021. Not one person has been infected from being in my office, nor myself, in 18 months of this BS and I'm a doctor taking care of elderly and immunosuppressed patients. One at a time, each one us must push back and live as normally as possible.

I am somewhat dismayed that you have ONLY 10K subscribers. Your work deserves 10M or 100M subscribers!
