In washington alexandra le mon. Still ahead Health Care Workers in the cross hairs of covid19 now a new study says our nurses and doctors, our fighting for their lives. For your health tonight, a study by the cdc shows that theres a serious risk for Health Care Workers to end up in the hospital themselves with covid19 gather around the time doctors nurses and more. They all say this underscores the risk the virus can poses act myers takes us through the numbers. A cdc study found covid19 impacted nurses more than any other Health Care Worker groups. The study looked at a sampling of hospitalizations between march and may 6 of those were Health Care Workers and nurses made up more than a 3rd of that group figure that it would be largely not 36 . I mean it makes sense because again nurses imports they dont get to work from home, theyre there in the front lines among Health Care Workers who had to be hospitalized for covid19. The study found 89 of them had Underlying Health conditions. The most common were obesity hypertension and diabetes. Officials at Johnson Memorial hospital say those numbers should be an important reminder you do have to watch your weight. You have to stay healthy if you are. Diabetic control their diabetes if youre hypertensive can take your medicine, anybody who has Underlying Health conditions that were these really affects them madly Patient Safety officer william inc says the study also reinforces the need for caution even among the healthiest of hoosiers you might have other people in your family who have those Underlying Health conditions so you need to watch out for them to officials here at Johnson Memorial say none of their employees have had to be hospitalized for covid19 but they have had infected employees and they believe most of them caught it outside the hospital one of the things that weve done here in the hospital as weve been powered all of our employees to say but your mask protect me as well as yourself and i would encourage the public to do that as well zach myers news nation.

Sunday marks game one and they brutal 5 weeks stretch for the fortyniners and i guess its appropriate that the fivegame stretch starts with the arch rival Seattle Seahawks the seahawks are always pretty good but this year they truly look like a super bowl favorite. Russell wilson is likely your mvp frontrunner and hes leading a seattle offense that leads the nfl in both yards per game and points per game. It seems like pete carroll has completely opened up the playbook for his franchise quarterback. Now the 9 ers and seahawks played 2 classic games last season. The seahawks handed the niners their first loss of the season on a game winning field goal in the teams first matchup and then in the final game of the regular season drake green law made a tackle at the goal line as you see right here that one game for the niners that game locked up the number one seed in the nfc in the east which eventually led to 9 is to the super bowl. So the niners, definitely know the challenges of playing the seahawks especially on the world, the fact that Russell Wilson is playing the best football of his career only makes it harder. When youre an athlete like russell has, but then you have the rap city has over time and i mean going back to washington in sea state, i mean hes always been such a poise player that the game to slow motion for. When youre a player who seems like you can play in slow motion. You see so much stuff you let the game come to e a and just how long hes been doing it, i mean whether doing and read them are doing it off schedule. I seen so many different defenses his plate are so many different players and when you have the skill set he does have the mindset. He doesnt the experience he does thats usually what happens. All right the raiders have the staff messing around they are entering that mustwin territory 3 in 3 looking up at the one last chiefs, not an ideal spot. This week, theyll head to cleveland to take on the browns were 5, 2, and this browns team is loaded with talent even after losing Odell Beckham junior for the season with a torn acl tough blow for them. Baker mayfield runs their offense hes not in the elite category but hes been doing what theyve asked of him and we know the raiders defense hasnt been stopping anyone so mayfield definitely isnt someone to scoff at but the key to the browns 5, 2, record has really been their defense and that is exactly what has jumped out on film for john bird. Think number one a Cleveland Browns generate generated 14 turnovers off from their defense. And you can put the yards per and you can talk about that stat all you want they have set him up i would good field position at times and they can run the ball and those are 2 great ingredients. You know get the ball, good field position running the football, but this guys excellent quarterback. Hes proven he complain anybody system. Right now the dodgers should be getting nothing but love yes, most people here in the bay area hate them but winning a world series is tough and they deserve some credit. But right now this is what everyone is talking about. Thats dodgers 3rd baseman justin turner, he was removed from the game after the 7th inning after he was told he was positive for covid19 once the dodgers won he returned to the field and celebrated with his teammates even removed his mask, knowing he has the coronavirus it sends a message that celebrating a championship is more important than other People Safety and setting example, even if you ignore the fact that the dodgers let him play with an inconclusive test result the optics of it all still look bad. The m l b address, the situation today. This is part of the statement put out by the league. While a desire to celebrate is understandable turn his decision to leave isolation and enter the field was wrong and put everyone in contact at risk when the mlb raised. The matter of being on the field with turner. He emphatically refused to comply. So we dont know whats coming but guys that can expect some find some suspensions something kuz that will be there was swift with that statement and they did not seem happy. Yes, they put him in like a little medical room after they pulled him from the game and then they want any busted out they told him to leave it. He said no yeah so you know lets not see how it all plays out all right. I shouldve jason thanks jason. Still ahead flying into the future of transportation details on the cutting edge air car.
