Nurses, other health care workers say U.S. hospitals aren’t protecting them from COVID-19

“Nurses are fighting tooth and nail with their employers to talk about the risk of exposure for any number of diseases, whether it be airborne, whether it be blood-borne,” said Stephanie Roberson, a lobbyist representing California’s registered nurses. “These types of exposures exist, and right now at one of our facilities, UCD, 36 of our nurses, 88 other health care workers have now been sent home because they have been exposed to the patient that has tested positive for coronavirus, so this is extremely alarming.”


Whether COVID19 is blood borne or not yet has still yet to be established, people just dismissing it as untrasnmissable by blood is a bit reckless in my opinion, would be much wiser to wait for scientific proof to show this is the case.

Regardless, the clinics and workers and donors are the ones most at risk when they enter these clinics or go to donate blood. Why would people willingly take that risk if they know there is a chance they might get infected?
