where you firmly stated masks should be worn in medical offices (like yours)...that's very good news to my eyes. As for the other listed opinions and concerns, we can at least have a discussion on them...for instance...
Since masks have true value in the locations you mentioned...would they not have "some" mitigating value when used by non-professionals in others? To me, that's what most of this 'rancor' is all about...appealing to the general public to do as much as can reasonably be expected to make it harder for this airborne pathogen to propagate and thereby save a fair number of lives among a population of 330 million souls...what is the harm in that?
As for politicization of this pandemic...IMHO it is 100% on Donald Trump and all those who seek to gain the support of those who follow that deeply flawed person...as evidence, I present his recorded interviews with Bob Woodward in which he acknowledged the deadly seriousness of COVID-19 in late January, 2020...yet, continued to downplay it...to the public's lethal peril...even terming it a "Hoax" perpetrated by the Democratic Party.
I'm glad you (and your family) got vaccinated...I'm glad you conduct your practice appropriately...let's continue to discuss what true Conservatism and Liberalism mean...and why we need to ensure they both are accepted and acknowledged...since those concepts define who we all are, and will never depart from our midst.
