BREAKING—huge CDC report on hospitalized healthcare workers w/ #COVID19, which comprise 1 in 16.7 (6%) of all hospitalized cases!
10% hospitalized had zero risk factor! (Median age only 49, so not old at all)
Whopping 36% hospitalized were nurses!

2) It gets worse, despite being healthcare workers themselves, of these hospitalized #COVID19 HCWs:
Approximately 28% of these patients were admitted to an intensive care unit
16% required invasive mechanical ventilation
4% died
And gets worse for blacks...

3) And a whopping *52%* of all hospitalized healthcare workers were Black.
Contrast: Blacks are 13% of the U.S. population, and blacks constitute only 5% of all doctors and 10% of nurses.
Yet, somehow 52% of all hospitalized HCWs with #COVID19!

4) also notice that 75% of all hospitalized HCW #COVID19 cases were under age 57! Half again under age 49. This is not some elderly population. And plus remember 10% of these hospitalized HCWs also had zero risk factors.
COVID is damn serious people! Not some hoax.

5) All the while, HCW have to not only reuse N95 masks, but sometimes have to *SHARE* N95 masks with each other! Which is utterly horrifying. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1320770776266670080
