731 at one hospital. But only 2% of the SYSTEM’S 31,600 employees. A more reasonable number would be what percentage of the employees at that hospital is 731 individuals. Trying to make it sound not so bad. But in actuality, that number of cases at one facility is alarming and speaks to the fact that health care workers are NOT adequately protected.
