Yeah, I've seen that HIPAA response being promoted on FB chud posts as an anti-mask cheat code.

The local walmart has had to put up a sign underneath mask required notice saying if you can't wear a mask, they'll provide someone to shop for you while you wait outside. This is in one of the counties hit hardest by the Corona outbreak in NJ too :brainworms:

lmao of course it would be a disaster since all the previous successful attempts to manage coronavirus involved people who were culturally willing to follow directions.

In the US this is seen as a violent attack on our freedoms!

Remember how in the US the CDC for months said that masks were ineffective / didn't provide any benefits?

The govt said it was actually harmful because people couldn't learn to not touch their face and it only spread via touch because they knew all about this brand new virus

Store: I can't let you in without a mask
Lady: I have a medical condition and HIPAA says I don't have to tell you what it is and this is discrimination
Store: you cannot come in without a mask. If you let me know the items you want and a method of payment I'll obtain the items for you while you wait outside
Lady: my items are private and you have no right to know what I purchase
Store: you have to check out at the cashier anyways, ther same number of store employees will see this information
Lady: this is an outrage and discrimination and I'm going to sue you
Store: okay, have a good day

"my items are private" is a new one

That was in late February/early March when we already knew a fair amount about how the virus worked, and everyone was wearing masks in China. We looked for every reason not to have to wear masks because it was a foreign concept to us and therefore bad. This includes c-spam aswell.

Also, that's not what HIPPA legislates. It affects health care providers, people with direct access to someone's medical files, and business entities related to such things. Fuckers need to learn how laws work.

I was screaming at a hospital worker in the Chicago thread to wear masks because of the Chinese bus study (that got retracted for unknown reasons) and after I was the only person outside in a mask in March I didn't leave my block all of April

the "you don't need a mask" thing at the beginning was actually just an attempt to stop hoarders because medical workers needed the masks and there both weren't any and americans are selfish piggish greedy assholes. There was a strong dissonance between people saying that masks don't work so you don't need one but also we need to give all our masks to hospitals because they work very well and they need them there.

well that's why we can't tell people with "emotional support animals" to gently caress off as long as their pet is behaved

and even then lol I have been at work with a dog just loving walking around the store without a leash while its owner was looking at something on the other side of the store

The particular sailors listed in the story, though, were tested because one of them re-reported with flu-like symptoms, then they did contact tracing.
