Masks are back. I’m not doing 2020 again.

Banner Health is bringing mandatory masking back to patient-care areas in Arizona—and I’m not doing 2020 again. I also received word that in the next couple of weeks another large hospital system will follow suit.
In this episode, I break down why “mask everyone” is not the gold standard of infection control, what hospitals should be prioritizing instead, and how we can respond with clarity (not chaos). I’m also sharing a powerful resource written by industrial hygiene experts—the amicus brief used in multiple successful masking cases—plus a simple email template you can send to hospital leadership to request a real, written rationale grounded in the Hierarchy of Controls.
We’ll also talk about practical “respiratory hygiene” approaches and why I personally use Immune Mist as part of my routine during high-risk seasons.

- Banner’s reinstated masking requirement and what they’re claiming
