This.  I'm a nurse.  Most of us wear street clothes in and change into scrubs at work.  I do know some people who wear personal scrubs into work and then change into hospital provided scrubs there.  So I suppose you could be seeing those people.  [/quote]

Yes, DH who is an ER doc does this. He has scrubs from home and then changes into hospital scrubs. I’ve told him not to shop afterwards because of people like the OP who will make assumptions. [/quote]

Who cares if they make assumptions?  That’s their problem. I will continue to report to work in my scrubs, don my PPE when treating patients, and stop at the store on my way home in my scrubs. [/quote]

PP - you are absolutely right. He’s out there saving lives, and all these people can think about is that he’s spreading germs. This leads me to other concerns about discrimination against health care workers and their families. [/quote]

Are you insane? Scrubs = germs. Why not just buy a leisure suit instead of flaunting your "right" to wear scrubs. Maybe we should all wear scrubs to make the "stigman" and "scrubs shaming" go away?

Just don't wear scrubs out on the street, you fool. [/quote]

Actually let's take this a step further and not let the patients out of the hospital who carry these germs and walk among us, spewing their germs everywhere. I mean forget scrubs, it's the patients we should ban from being in public! You all realize there are tons more germs to be freaked out about than COVID and some patients may carry them for life. Ban anyone colonized with candida auris from grocery stores![/quote]
