As for young and otherwise healthy health care workers getting sick, my guess is that they are very sleep deprived, which adversely impacts the immune system.

Getting plenty of sleep is crucial for good health and most people do not understand that. Whenever someone dismissively says, "I can sleep when I'm dead" I want to point out that they'll simply be dead a lot sooner.

I am convinced that one important reason I'm as healthy as I am is that most of my life I've gotten enough sleep. And continue to do so.
