In the hospital today, I saw many more people wearing masks today (perhaps a dozen) than a few weeks ago (zero).
I talked with a three of them (joking about the oddity of more than one mask-wearer being in one place at one time) and they told me that the hospital tells them nothing about the current state of the epidemiology. Of three health workers I spoke with, not one knew that wastewater and case reports suggest that our area is at the start of a Covid wave.
