Went to the UW* ER, not for corona, wearing a mask. Doctor came in, gave us funny look, "Why are you wearing those?" Doctors and nurses weren't wearing masks within the ER area. They said that if you have corona, or symptoms, they give you a mask, so when he came in the room and saw us in masks, was worried there had been a mix-up.

* University of Washington, in Seattle.



And this is why we have a problem. We have the power to slow the spread, but culturally masks are unacceptable. So unfortunate.
