PPE Requirements/Covid Education
 

I think that PPE should be mandated in all healthcare settings. We (Healthcare Providers) need to be setting an example for the general public. We need to be a source of reliable information to deliver on a personal basis to all who seek our professional services. 
We need to discourage the spread of Covid and its emerging variants both by example and by education of the “non-vaccers”. 
We need to be able to provide an up to the minute reliable source (written documentation) of information to encourage the “spread” of accurate information about the risks of Covid-19 and the risks and benefits of immunization.
Our close personal relationship gives us a unique platform to deliver reliable information. We need to use our unique position of trust to “move the needle” of trust in our science towards “fact” in a non-political setting.
