I know some health care workers who quit the industry because of harassment over asking patients to wear a mask during peak Covid. I don't know if that contributed a lot to being understaffed overall, but it's stupid that patients and visitors did not want to comply to a very simple request and instead verbally and physically harassed workers.

Older workers retired in droves when the pandemic hit. They were the most at risk to the virus and didn't want to risk their health working in the industry. Now there's a shortage.

I know several that quit over mandates. I thinks that's a majority of it along with exhaustion from dealing with covid.
