No, I said Covid19 pandemic (which included the State of Emergency).
You have erred in your interpretation of my comment.

Covid19 pandemic.
The same for GP's who don't mask as they potentially inhale brain-damaging viruses all day in their clinics.
These people are clueless, but that doesn't stop them being conceited narcissists with deranged minds.

We only need to observe the behaviours of some arrogant, ignorant medical professors to see how the mistakes they make get passed on to their students if the students also aren't particularly bright or ethical.
Look at the foolish medical professors who promote unmasked conferences during the

personality disorders that make them feel invincible. They might also be bullies who are stuck in a rut mentally, obsessed with being "the leader" and unable to learn new, safer behaviours. We should not pander to such dreadful, derelict behaviours by watering down safety standards to appease them.

Events like the unmasked Wonca conference that was held in Australia give completely the wrong message about safety in indoor settings, may have misled people about the importance of masking indoors when around others.
Some of the people who organise these events may lack knowledge, or might have

The standards of safety should always remain high, even if certain groups want lower standards to try to justify their own harmful behaviours and past serious mistakes.

Covid19 will spread just as quickly at a medical conference as it will in other indoor settings like health care settings, particularly given all the very close contact for extended periods that people have at conferences, including in the restrooms that people use at such events.

Sadly medical conferences like Wonca are not always arranged by people who are interested in protecting others from harm, but such low safety standards should not become the norm.

Trish, masks remain important in community settings even during periods of lower transmission.

To encourage people to gather unmasked at medical conferences and other close-contact indoor events because people want to believe transmission is "low" is likely to cause harm by asymptomatic spread
