Last week we ALL got this remarkable email from the big hospital system, Barnes-Jewish-Christian.
It was titled Message to the Community from BJC HealthCare and Washington University and I paraphrase it below.
============
Blah blah, we have important information to tell you
-
- If you need to get a Covid test so you can travel, and you have no symptoms, don’t come here.
- If you need to get a Covid test and you do have symptoms, don’t come here.
- If you aren’t an emergency case, don’t come here.
- If you are a grown-up and you need a non-urgent procedure or surgery, don’t come here.
- Are you a baby? We aren’t cutting off the babies. Babies are welcome.
- If you come here and you are an adult, you get one visitor. (Babies get more.)
If You’re Not Yet Vaccinated, It’s Not Too Late
[Five bullets that say “Get a Vaccine!” in various ways.]
We Can Pull Through This Together
[Another bullet that says “Get a Vaccine” plus wash your hands, wear a mask, keep away from people.]
==================
First off, wow, some serious baby-pandering there.
Second, this email went out to people who gave their email address to a doctor. I’m pretty sure the anti-vax people don’t visit doctors much less give out their email.
Third, I think this means that I am not getting my thyroid test next month.
