I was in the ER 2 weeks ago and all the staff there think masks are chin guards. When you call them out on it they get angry and put the mask halfway on for about 2 minutes, then resumed their normal stupidity and think they are paper chin guards again.

Water is natural, but we still say they drowned, and not "natural causes".
