My partner is a nurse and this does not surprise me in the slightest. Up until she quit near the end of 2020, nurses were required to put their PPE (N95 masks) in a "special" tupperware with holes poked in the lid at the end of each shift and reuse it the next day, ad-nauseam.
Nurses who caught COVID were discouraged from being tested unless they had symptoms that would be visible to a patient because hospital administrators did not want the work of filling shifts. Couple that with the fact that more and more medical work is being offloaded onto nurses as a cost saving measure, and you have a perfect recipe for burnout.
