Isn't this a violation of OSHA safe workplace conditions? It's a known, lethal, virus, and they're not letting people protect themselves, especially if they aren't providing that protection themselves. They must "Provide a workplace free of health and safety hazards that can cause death or serious injury;" https://employment.findlaw.com/workplace-safety/protecting-y... Perhaps they'd rather get a call from OSHA? Would they perhaps prefer their nurses call OSHA first? In Florida, there's a law for whistle blower healthcare workers.
https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/whistleblower-protectio... If the choice is be fired or die (or have a better chance of dying), they should file an OSHA violation and call out. |

The practices nurses/doctors are doing today are in violation of OSHA (mask/shield re-use and the like) and they would have been fired or strongly reprimanded just a few months ago for doing what they are being told to do now. To add insult to injury they aren't letting them protect themselves because it would further prove how unprepared these hospitals were.
