(The commenter is ongoingly aggrieved and shocked by seeing the masked)
I just watched one of the testimonies offered into Anna Brees youtube channel in which came to mind on reading your ongoing lament. I quite understand grief or anger or powerlessness in respect to what seems like some sort of willing subjection to mind control. But will 'mask' a range of strategies and beliefs.
The one that offered a straight witness for humanity lived and may have resonance for your grief - for it is - isn't it? is Kirsten, 49. Artist & Former Lawyer, Oldham. 8th August 2020

But more than whether we agree or not with the different video messages sent in to Anna Brees, they all speak and own something of their lived experience in a willingness to connect and communicate that experience.
This allows something of a 'council' or circle of speaking and listening.
If this seems off topic for a Doctor's blog - bear in mind that this function, of sharing or speaking of things that may not be just symptoms of disease or difficulty, is part of - sorry - WAS part of the doctor patient relationship. Giving to being truly received, and receiving in a compassionate presence rather than judgemental imposition is a Human love - not an algorithm.
