4. Lots of people, lots of the time.

All the years I worked 8 hours a day in an office, I did not change clothes between the time I left in the morning and when I got home at night.

I guess we're all supposed to have a dressing room and a trailer nearby.

5. I will go you one better. The same mask for a surgical case lasting over 8 hours.

SOP says masks should be changed every 2 hours. In 25 years in the OR, I never saw a person who was in the middle of a case stop to change a mask or stop to allow an employee the time to change a mask, with the exception being known contamination. We used to push dental sponges (those little round sponges the size of a cigarette filter) up our nose to avoid filling our mask when we had a headful of snot.

6. Oz is to medicine what the Wizard of Oz was to wizardry.

a fraud.

Oz has faced criticism for his promotion of pseudoscience.[10][69] He has supported and promoted homeopathy,[85][86] and alternative medicine.[58] Popular Science[87] and The New Yorker[42] have published critical articles on Oz for giving "non-scientific" advice.[42] HuffPost has accused Oz of promoting quackery.[88]

A 2014 study published in the British Medical Journal found that medical talk shows such as The Dr Oz Show and The Doctors often lack adequate information on the specific benefits or evidence of their claims. 40 episodes of each program from early 2013 were evaluated, determining that evidence supported 46 percent, contradicted 15 percent and was not found for 39 percent of the recommendations on The Dr Oz Show.[14][12] Unfounded claims included saying apple juice had unsafe levels of arsenic and cell phones could cause breast cancer.[69] Reseachers for The Dr Oz Show said they were unable to push back against the producers' topics.

In April 2015, a group of ten physicians called for Columbia University to part ways with Oz, who was the vice chair of the Department of Surgery. More than 1,300 doctors signed a letter sent to the university.[14][89][90]

Oz has been awarded the James Randi Educational Foundation's Pigasus Award from 2009 to 2012 for his promotion of energy therapies, support of faith healing, psychic communication with the dead and "quack medical practices, paranormal belief, and pseudoscience".[91][92][93][94]

9. But the Wizard of Oz turned out to be quite insightful and clever...

And rather compassionate when it all came out.

This so-called "Doctor" is just a sham. It's as if the curtain had been pulled away, but he just keeps on bullshitting in plain sight.

11. Unless you sleep naked, you're probably wearing bed clothing for over 8 hours every night.

And then there are people who work an 8 hour day, 5 or 6 days a week...that's over a hundred million people.
Even the moronic Oz wears clothes all day long.

It just another one of those brainless generalizations that Republicans are so good at.
It's also very insulting to all the health care professionals who wear a mask all day to protect themselves and their patients.

The only thing Oz is good at is pandering to his right wing base.
I wonder how many people were injured or died from Covid because they followed his words. A man with "Dr." before his name who deliberately tells others not to follow recommended health practices to reduce the spread of an infectious disease during a pandemic is, in my book, guilty of assault and even murder.

14. Unless you're JFK, pretty much everybody.

President Kennedy changed clothes at least three times a day. Look at video of what he was wearing at the Chamber of Commerce breakfast in Fort Worth on the morning of his assassination, and what he was wearing about 4 hours later when he stepped of the plane in Dallas. Different suits, shirt and tie. Probably underwear and socks, but only his valet knows.

He was horrified when Ben Bradley told him he would sometimes wear the same shirt two days in a row. Most of the rest of us don’t have that large a wardrobe, or minions to pick up and do the laundry and dry cleaning.

17. Pretty much everybody, I would think.

At minimum, I would think 99.9% of people are wearing either underwear or a robe for at least 15.5 hours a day. Even if you slept nude and showered daily, that would account for 8.5 hours. The other 15.5 hours, you're wearing something.

Undies, socks, a bathrobe, pajamas, sweats, workouts, yoga pants... something!

Even if you're an Internet Badass, 6' 4" ex-Navy-SEAL powerlifter MMA blackbelt... you gotta wear undies so you don't leave skidmarks on your beanbag chair.
