That’s not how it works, dear. Me wearing scrubs to get gas and dog food after my 14 hour day saving your aunt’s life =/= I’m incompetent

FTR, I do wear my scrubs all over my big house when I arrive home. Around my family and pets.

You ready for this? ..... we are never sick. Well, my teen does get a couple colds every year but he has atrocious self care behavior by choice

No, from this thread, it's pretty clear that what it is has become a trigger for people who want to tear down a certain different sort of person. It's not just "hey, don't do this_ -- it's name-calling, and contempt, and casting aspersions.

I can assure you, people in scrubs are not looking for approval. They are looking for a bed and hopefully something to eat. They don't care about you nearly as much as you care about them

Are you implying they are homeless?

As someone noted above, most people working directly with patients are not wearing scrubs. On the other hand, a lot of people who do wear scrubs are not working directly with patients -- such as the dietary staff in the cafeteria.

How do you feel about other uniforms -- police, EMT, and others with possible frontline contact? Do they need to change after shift, too?

That’s aside from the point...

scrubs=healthcare worker(someone working with sick/possible Covid19 patient)
Police, EMT, etc are not working inside hospitals 24/7

Most people waering some forms of scrubs inside the hospital setting are not doing more work with possibly/likely COVID-infected people than are police and EMT. I mean, I get that you think they are, but they are not. They are cafeteria workers, floor cleaners (not in the COVID section), dietary workers, auxilliary staff, etc. Does that matter to you at all?
