Analogies for hospital workers improperly equipped during COVID-19, pick one or add one.

Working in a COVID-19 ER, Ward or ICU without proper gear is like:

1. Working in a prison without doors.

2. Sky diving without a parachute.

3. Bungee jumping without measuring.

4. Putting screen doors on a submarine.

5. Driving while black.

6. Riding a rush hour train in India.

7. Wearing yer antler costume during deer season.

8. Building the next space shuttle out of paper.

9. Voting for any Republican.

10. Wearing your seatbelt around your neck.

The company I work for has a motto: "Safety: why risk it?". If I knew the brakes on my truck were unsafe the truck would be stopped and fixed. Having an air leak is worrying enough.

Some of our medical heroes are risking their safety. And they shouldn't have to.
