It should be "healthcare workers" but there's a length limit for titles on Hacker News.

Apologies for any confusion.

Do they really think people are going to move to NY to work for them?

So apparently the governor did exactly this just now and will fire all non-vaccinated healthcare workers by midnight. Wild.

What happened to these workers being "heros"? They exposed themselves during the entire pandemic to care for the sick.

My sense is that NY thinks it can bully them into compliance with these harsh measures. Based on my conversations with my sister-in-law who is a nurse, I suspect they are in for a rude awakenking.
