I’ve never really understood how these places, which naturally bring in the sick and unwell by the thousands every single day, eliminate all or any airborne pathogens, viruses that spread via contact with surfaces, or by a patient coughing or sneezing. It’s not like they lock down the whole facility and sanitize it top to bottom every time a new patient comes in, so how come these places don’t become massive hubs for the spread of disease? How are waiting rooms not considered one of the most dangerous places for transmission in the world? What steps are these doctors and professionals in the field taking to ensure that these people who are coming in sick, aren’t making everyone else in the building sick as well?

This is why all doctors offices and hospitals have hand sanitizer, masks, and people asking if you have symptoms at the door. Doctors and nurses are almost universally vaccinated against current common diseases, and they do wash their hands between patients. It’s been known for a long time that buildings full of sick people are risky and require constant cleaning and sanitizing for safety.
