        Also, if it's like hospital resignations where I live, mostly because of exhaustion due to the mis-handling of the pandemic.

        Reading the comments you will find many have called them out for this. It feels like many have become more constructively critical of the Press over the last 6 years.

        It’s just like reporting on budget numbers. J-schools should teach journalists the concept of “percentages.”

        I've been told for months that if only 1% have a negative outcome, it doesn't matter.

        Thanks to quarantining, wearing masks, social distancing, and now vaccines; otherwise the death toll would have been immensely higher

        Most of the holdouts at my wife’s hospital were non-medical staff and food handlers. IMO, more dr’s and nurses are quitting because of the stress and demand from unvaccinated patients.
