The spike in coronavirus, COVID-19, has to be related to the wisdom of this nurse in my diocese.
It would be better to wear no mask than a homemade mask worn all day and never washed!
This has to be true as it is in our diocesan newspaper and a parishioner of one of the best parishes therein, The Southern Cross:
MASK CONCERNS:
In response to the article titled "Covid-10 and the virtue of prudence" printed June 25, 2020. I am a retired RN. I have had much experience wearing a mask in the hospital setting. What I see currently going on in grocery stores and other stores is appalling. People are wearing their masks all day or sometimes several days over and over again. They are constantly touching their masks or moving them on and off. That is very unsanitary. That can potentially cause more disease than what they are trying to prevent.

And what about the ones that are like scarps that you wear around your neck and then pull up when you go into a store. How often are these washed and how clean the neck? No wonder people are bringing this virus home and expecting their elderly parents to wash them a week after having worn them!

The initial recommendation/directive/suggestion was that masks were to be worn by those who had active COVID symptoms. Then it was found out that persons positive and asymptomatic could spread it. So more people were encouraged to wear masks.
I work in a hospital. I noticed our census of occupied beds was increasing even before the current surge. This was because of the resumption of elective procedures. My concern is that everyone who comes into our facility now is tested for COVID. So if a person comes in for say, a cath procedure, but tests positive for COVID(no symptoms), should that person be counted as a COVID hospitalized patient? I can't say because I'm not privy to that information. I hope that is not the case though.
The CDC is attempting to discriminate among “comorbidities” to help with tracking the movement of the disease through society. The two factor types that are important in that analysis is to determine the impact on age, gender, ethnic, other health factors )heart, diabetes, etc.) groups and the ability of the health care system to handle increased patient load.
People are just getting used to this sort of equipment. They should treat masks the same as handkerchiefs or tissues and dispose of them or clean them with the same frequency, carry a spare, etc.
Like every other month when I change my sheets and undergarments rcg???
You use a lot of incense during Mass right Father? 😝
ROFL! :D
