Wow - way to fat shame Flower. I'd fat shame him too but last week my suit pants split in the ass - they must have shrunk in the past year.

With the one I wear locally, you can't. Fleece gaiter.

I'm in 2000% agreement. However, I just received an email about "Has anyone made X doctor travel for trial?" Now I get it.

I get how RT got the vaccine, but Icky (I'm happy for him, but wondering), you don't seem to fit any priority group? Anyone else get it?

In CA, I think the rule is that attorney have to go to the doctor's office for depositions.

I do.

Not sure if that's a rule in IL, but that's what we did (when I did that type of work ten years ago).

It happens sometimes in the winter. The cold makes the polyester fibers contract.

Most of the time they come to us after picking through schedules, but sometimes they just send a subpoena with a time and date and place just to piss everyone off.

Is that necessarily right? (Not asking rhetorically.) The air is dry here. The air that one breathes out is more moist. I would expect moisture to pass through even a good mask, not necessarily in droplets.

I do that. Not to piss anyone off, just to put a stake in the sand. If I don't do that, and just ask for dates, too often I'll never hear. I pick a date and location and everyone knows they can change.

Exhaled breath has to go somewhere. It's either going through the mask or coming out the sides.

Maybe not?? Can't see my breath with the good clothe ones I wear.

Perhaps your cloth mask is absorbing the water, but that doesn't necessarily mean (as a logical matter) that a mask that permits water vapor to pass through also will permit the virus to pass through. I mean, it could be that way, but that's the question.

A good hunk of the time I have to explain to a panicked (and often insulted) MD that it has nothing to do with their care, essentially they're a witness at an auto accident, and for the love of god don't go through the record yet.

Docs are a very jumpy bunch when they hear anything from a lawyer.
