I work in an ICU. Bedside staff is equipped with PPE2. No space suit. I've spent months of my life wearing only a surgical mask in what is basically a COVID aquarium, with patients on non-invasive ventilation in open-space units spraying virus everywhere. Our staff case count of hospital-acquired infection is currently zero. So, I don't know what the ground truth is but it certainly seems like exposure is not the only factor.

I think that this has faded from the numbers in the UK and my assumption was that this was because staff were now able to protect themselves with good PPE and vaccination.
