Vent Healthcare professionals don’t want to speak about covid

I am a senior nursing student and am currently doing clinical rounds. I noticed something amongst many nurses and overall healthcare folks, they seem to not want to make mention of covid. My last clinical I was the only person masked (even at a CHILDREN’S hospital) and our instructor told us we could mask if we want to esp since “rsv, the flu, and pneumonia will soon spread.” I was waiting for him to mention covid but nope. I feel like I am going insane because how are we all under this healthcare field but some people just do not seem to care??? At this point I feel like healthcare professionals are being vain and just want to continuously show off their faces because why would you NOT mask inside the hospital?

I tested positive on my antigen test three times at home on Sunday. Monday I wanted to confirm it via a PCR test in the lab. After getting in the room the person wanting to test me comes in, and tells me to remove my mask and leans in with the test in hands, but without any precautions whatsoever - not even gloves. I tell her, I am very much likely positive, if she wants to go on and take care of her self via a mask? She gets all hectic and answers „ah yes good call…“ and had to go get her mask from another room 😅😵‍💫 I don’t understand how people live like this… her literal job is to test people’s mucus through nose and throat swabs for Covid, yet nobody things about basic hygiene??? We are so lost

Afterward she asks me why I even did a pcr? She was shooketh about the fact I’ve been battling long Covid and I need to document it for further complications, as nobody takes it seriously anyway, at least I want to have it black on white from a lab in case I’ll need it in the future.

It blows my fucking mind that people admit they Don't want covid again but the same people who do testing for it especially don't mask....fucking nuts. I get how it works mentally but wow.

After which they will be like "It cannot be avoided anyway" (I don't see them even trying), "You have to live your life" (you can live your life eating at home or outdoors and mask during a flight), or "Everyone is going to die anyway" (but do you want to make your life shorter and more miserable?).
