This is what worries me. I’m healthy and don’t particularly fear this virus as it might affect my health, but I have a daughter with asthma and a niece with t-cell leukemia whose neutrophil level is almost nil. This virus appears to be very contagious. Let’s say someone with COVID-19 shows up in the ER and gets admitted. Meanwhile, hospital workers are in contact with that person and are eating in the cafeteria, using staff restrooms, etc. with other hospital workers who are treating the kids who have cancer at that same hospital. This virus would probably kill them. I just hope the hospitals are taking whatever measures they can to guard against that scenario.
