Research originating in other countries hard hit by COVID19 are showing that the virus is extremely contagious, and that health care providers without strong protections are becoming more critically ill due to repeated heavy viral exposure.  Making HAZMAT suits the default level of protection for doctors, nurses, and EMTs will reduce illness in those caring for the sick, and improve their own outcomes should they contract the virus.

Our nation already faces a shortage of healthcare providers.  We need to give them a fighting chance as they fight on the front lines for all of us.
