For medical professionals, do they suffer worse because they come in contact with many variations / mutations of the same virus?

At the cellular level it’s a numbers game. The more enemy combatants, the sicker you will be. The more exposure to the virus, the more viruses you’ll have in your body, the more intense the symptoms.

Hospitals don’t have great access to fresh flowing outside air. So as they fill up with infected people the air just becomes a cesspool of virus.
