Does anyone else want to hear a comment by our Mayor Seth Fleetwood discussing his interpretation of PeaceHealth St. Joseph firing an ER Physician who called attention to the dangerous, unsafe conditions the hospital was exposing it's staff and the community to?

Where are you getting your information? Specifically “... everyone who gets admitted there, whether or not they came in with COVID-19, they contract it.” I work in the hospital, I am support staff for nursing and have been front line multiple times during my duties to confirmed cases. During any of my direct or witnessed interactions with a potential AND confirmed COVID-19 there have been stringent safeguards in place to protect me, the affected patient, surrounding patients, and other staff.

I’m am not defending the actions of the hospital towards Dr. Ming nor saying that his assessments of the hospitals shortcomings were incorrect/overstated. I am however questioning your assertion that COVID-19 apparently has a 100% transmission rate on every inpatient in this hospital.
