Okay, my original comment clearly came across as a weasel for COVID denial so sorry for that. Fuck denialism.
What I meant was that - like flu - it is an endemic respiratory virus which will be nasty but not fatal to most people. In certain contexts masks are less useful (not useless I suppose), and this is particularly in areas where mask use is minimal and strict (e.g. under the nose or constantly being touched without proper hand hygiene).
So what your cardiologist said could have been a realistic assessment of the current state of COVID, or denialism in which case they’re a dick.
“Doctor” sounds like a bit of a stretch
You never know what kind of doctor she is. Maybe she is a doctor of Aura Reading or Astrology.
As someone with a doctorate in Metaphysics from the Universal Life Church, I concur.
It’s very charitable of you to take time out of your busy astral projections to channel your professional opinion through the ether, doctor!
Hey, I’ve been a minister for the ULC for like 15 years lol
Not everyone who goes to medical school is a rational (or sane) person. And some of them do succumb to the grifter lifestyle because it’s easy money.
She’s still a total idiot though. You don’t just get to decide “I’m not paying taxes this year”. Who does she think she is, Wesley Snipes?
You need to be much richer than her to not to pay taxes in the US.
Also, as the old saying goes, do you know what they call the person who comes last in medical school? Doctor.
I’m a medical student, and I’ve had a cardiologist tell me that COVID is just like flu and masking is useless
There are varying levels of truth to that. How sincere were they?Edit: See subsequent comment for clarity.
There aren’t any levels of truth to that? The only similarity is that both of them are viruses that can cause respiratory symptoms.

Mmmkay.
To clarify, I don’t agree lol
wtf? Wouldn’t masking also be beneficial to mitigate flu transmission as well?
