Plenty of sources of infection outside of hospital premises.
Most, not all, but a high percentage works 12 to 16 hour shifts, some 7 days a week. Most with families didn’t go home because they didn’t want to take a chance with their spouse or children.

Out of the 9 in my family that are still working, 4 tested positive. Back to work in 14 days.. Only one went home to family, and even with precautions infected the household, not the other way around.

Staff that works the Covid floors are not as Cavalier, as non medical people doing what is best, not to spread to their families, and outside. Many stayed in RVs, or in a home with coworkers. Food was not an issue, facilities were sent food from many resources while working.
Most will tell you the only thing I have strength to do after leaving a shift is go to bed, and get up the next day and do it all over again
