Here is a piece of data. Do I believe it? You betcha.

89 workers at Mass General Hospital in Boston now have coronavirus — number has more than doubled since yesterday
That’s one thing the data does, we’ve all been at this long enough to draw some parallels with thins we’ve seen before!
Let me explain why I believe the Mass General numbers.
We _know_ there is a shortage of adequate PPEs for health workers.
We _know_ that hospital workers are in close contact with CV patients with high viral load.
We _know_ the virus is highly contagious.
We _know_ the virus can stick to surfaces and is an aerosol and can get into air vents.
We _know_ the Boston hospitals have lots of CV patients.
We _know_ other Boston hospitals have had many health care workers infected.
The metrics tie together.
This is _not_ that hard.
From one of the comments:
Flu vaccine is mandatory for healthcare workers. Has that
prior vaccine interfered with resistance to this COVID-19?
Serious questions.
