Conversations on HC: Reaction to Philadelphia’s New Mask Orders: “A Little Premature”

Published: May 6, 2022, midnight

Hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter welcome COVID expert Dr. Robert Wachter. “It feels a little premature…I might have waited a little longer to see what happens.” That’s the reaction from Dr. Robert Wachter to Philadelphia’s decision to again require people to wear masks indoors, including in schools and daycares. It’s the first major American city to take this step. Wachter is chair of the Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco and a popular voice on Twitter. He also shares that policymakers, including those looking at renewing public transportation mask orders, must consider that the public is tired of wearing masks after over two years.
