> Isn't this a violation of OSHA safe workplace conditions?

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.
