Why do healthcare workers have to get tested?

[Gigantes]

They say wearing a mask isn't to protect you, but to protect others.

1) So if someone is working in the healthcare field, and they're wearing their mask and face shield, why do the healthcare workers still need to be tested?

2) If the reason is to make sure the healthcare workers don't have it, but isn't that what the mask and face shield is for, to protect from getting it?

3) If it's because there's still a chance that they can get it even with a mask and face shield, then why wear both at all, doesn't that prove it doesn't work?

so do masks work? if they do, why can't people go to church, kids go to school, people go to ball games? (just keep the masks on and it'll all be good)

if masks don't work, why do people need to wear them?

When I went to the hospital after the fire I was like '**** man on top of all this they are going to shove that crap up my nose'



Nothing.


Not tested at all. I was shocked.

I don't think they work. I just wear it when I go into a store.



I don't need an angry Karen situation because I am stressed the **** out and I will punch a *****

so what's the answer then, do face masks and shield work? if they do, why the need for testing?

if they don't, why the need to wear it?

this similar to dwight howard saying why we got to wear masks if they're all in a bubble and no one is positive

and like howards question, there's no answers. a bunch of guys laughing and giggling and not knowing what to say
