stormdogI realized I never said anything here about Danae and I visiting the emergency walk-in clinic a couple days ago. Everything is fine; she was having an extra-painful PCOS-related cyst. What really boggled my mind is that we had to take *off* our masks to be seen. Danae wrote:
"When I went to the emergency walk in, they made us remove our masks. Only people with COVID-like symptoms were allowed to wear a mask. They were still distancing, but that’s not enough imo. So yeah, I thought that was pretty outrageous. And they sounded so amused when they said it, like it was funny that we were trying to wear unnecessary masks."
All the countries in Europe and we have to be in the one that seems to be dealing with Covid *least* well. (Danae pointed out that Sweden is worse...)
