Our two ER's have been SWAMPED for the past few nights. Everyone and their DOG have been showing up. People are at a panic already - sorry "Intelligent-Folks-In-Charge", the blister of public panic has already popped. It's time to do some major damage control.
All visitors and ER staff are required to wear masks when in the patient rooms while they are in our two ER's. It is darn near impossible to run your buns off and wear a mask at the same time!

Yeah, that'll work. :icon_roll
