2) It gets worse, despite being healthcare workers themselves, of these hospitalized #COVID19 HCWs:
📌Approximately 28% of these patients were admitted to an intensive care unit
📌16% required invasive mechanical ventilation
📌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.
➡️ Yet, somehow 52% of all hospitalized HCWs with #COVID19!

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.
➡️ COVID is damn serious people! Not some hoax.
