    I considered putting this in the pricing $oaring thread since wiping out chickens, beef, pigs, and other livestock will shoot up prices. Dead people aren’t the only risk from a spreading avian virus in the animal kingdom. Although already pointed out above it is possible for it to be a nasty human virus or a mild one.

    Regardless, firing the federal response team then begging them to come back is a huge mistake. Ive seen several scientists social media say they are going into private industry that pays more and even blood sucking profiteers treat employees better. Yikes.

    Just had a physical in January where the doctor had a sick kid at home so was wearing a mask. Maybes she doesn’t read your posts?

    Another Q-crazy mask and viruses are fake and vaccines make you a magnet thread. Awesome.

    Well there is absolutely zero science saying they should if you are meeting for a normal face to face visit.

    No science says they needed to. But if it helped you. Good for them. Some need a little virtue signaling!

    My doctor never wears a mask. My dentist wears a face shield and a mask. Can’t speak to weather or not my surgeon wore a mask since I was sleeping.

    Yes, my doctor wears a mask, even now. During the pandemic, for a couple years, she wore a mask and face shield and required that everyone in her office, including patients in the waiting room, and all her staff, also wore masks ... because they are trained in medicine and science and know how viruses are spread.

    That’s standard practice in all medical facilities.

    Why do you think that DOGE and the Trump administration have been so incompetent with these firings?
