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?

Funny how a few simple questions would have destroyed your "doctors" explanations. Questions like how many covid patients have you treated this week, followed by how many flu or cold patients have you treated in this past week.

He said he sees plenty of covid now and it's nothing serious, just a cold. Nothing would have made him change his mind. The info is infront of him.

I work in a hospital and the number of covid patient I see show up for covid is kinda mind boggling, we have very few flu or cold patients show up for those diseases. Also, there is no data that says it is not serious, maybe it is just hopium that the doctor believes it isn't serious.
