alleges that management at Southern California's Riverside Community Hospital, which is owned by HCA, failed to provide workers with adequate protective equipment, such as masks and gowns, and pressured staff to ignore safety precautions to meet quotas. The hospital also failed to alert staff to possible Covid-19 exposures and pressured staff, who had Covid-19 symptoms, to return to work, the suit says.
Riverside Community Hospital said in a statement to CNBC that it disputes the claims in the suit, adding that "we will defend it vigorously." "These individuals also believe they unknowingly spread the disease to family members or others in the community," the suit says. "Each of the individual Plaintiffs is a member of a racial minority group, making them statistically more likely to contract COVID-19, and more likely to suffer serious symptoms, including death."
The trade deals that outsourced the production of PPE and medicines are the real culprit, as well as China.

Total union garbage. Unions are like trump, they'd lie all day to get their way.
Not if MoscowMitch has his way. Big corporations will get away with murder.
