Show Notes
In the spring of 2020, a doctor contracted COVID-19 from a patient, leading to long-lasting symptoms that ended her career. Despite evidence of airborne transmission, facilities stuck with surgical masks, violating occupational health laws. Now, she manages only a few hours upright daily, and many colleagues face similar struggles. Hospitals still dont label COVID rooms as airborne risks, and public health agencies avoid using the term. Thousands of health workers have been infected, with dozens dead and shortages persisting from disabilities. Facilities must enforce safety laws with proper respirators and ventilation to protect workers from ongoing outbreaks.
