Requiring a mask in a TB ward is a perfectly acceptable policy as it helps prevent the spreading from patient to doctornurse . Comparing that to requiring condoms to be used is ridiculous though . What if both actors are confirmed STI free ? Should they be required then ? That ' s like saying surgical masks should be used even if there ' s no infectious diseases around , like medical assistants MUST use nitrile gloves and surgical masks when filing papers . It ' s a ridiculous law , and falsely equating it to reasonable medical precautions is absurd . <| sep |> From NZ , with basically similar laws . Start actually get in trouble with management if they don ' t use their leave up . Finance don ' t like the outstanding leaver sitting around on their books . Workmates will goodnaturedly abuse you if you go somewhere particularly nice or interesting , but never resentment , that ' d be fucking shitty . Ensuring there are enough people to do the work is the boss ' problem .
