2) It gets worse, despite being healthcare workers themselves, of these hospitalized #COVID19 HCWs:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📌" title="Reißzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Reißzwecke">Approximately 28% of these patients were admitted to an intensive care unit
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📌" title="Reißzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Reißzwecke">16% required invasive mechanical ventilation
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📌" title="Reißzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Reißzwecke">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.

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.

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">https://twitter.com/drericdin...
