#1 Let this sink in "36.3 percent of those hospitalized healthcare workers were nurses or certified nursing assistants. " (March through May) & 90% hospitalized had at least one underlying medical condition,

These are people directly in contact with the C-19 during the early more deadly strain days of January to May.

These are the people with gloves, Surgical/N-95 masks, paper apron gowns or HazMat suits covering and plenty of Hand Sanitizers.

In our family & Extended Family Groups, we have LPN's, RN's, Fire-EMS and LEO's. At last count, 5 tested positive for C-19, about 70%. But not one of them spent a day in the Hospital. All of these infections were likely POST-January to May C-19 Strain. Late July-September. Which was long after the more deadly early strain had mutated.

NOTE: Each of them had Family or Spouses all without any Cross contamination infections?????

#4 The nurses have our respect. I'm married to one. It's the misuse of statistics to lock down the entire nation that people disrespect.
