You're not alone. Since the numbers are so great, I wouldn't worry too much.

If you are a good person, which I'm certain that HCP is, then I think you worry unless you have no conscience. If I missed my house payment and didn't have a nickel I'd still worry.
One day I went in for dialysis with a two day growth of beard. I apologized to the nurse assigned to me that day. The nurse responded that they understood because they know dialysis patients find it difficult to do daily things. I then said that even though I knew that it had been very difficult for me to shave and that was a good enough excuse, still, I worried because it bothers me to not show those treating me the respect of a good shave. I made up for it by buying everyone donuts at a later treatment and I never ate a one of the two dozen assortment of everything. A couple of the nurses were off that day so I bought another two dozen with more of the most popular kind two days later during my next treatment. That's a conscience. Hey, it was easy since those guys (men, women, nurses, technicians) are so kind of all of their patients even the difficult ones.
Side note, you can feel good about how your VA patients are treated by all of the staff, doctors, nurses, technicians, cleaing personel, everyone there at the VA hospital. We get outstanding care in terms of time allowed each patient, facilities, staff expertise except for one thing, Veterans' Transportation Service, VTS. They are miserly and make life difficult at best. Oh, not the drivers, they are fabulous. I'm talking about when I'm through with my treatment and feel like dog shit ready to throw up at any moment and entirely worn out and in pain sitting there while waiting an hour and a half to as much as four hours to go home where I can lay down and take a nap. Often VTS is timely such that I only have to wait 15 to 30 minutes but once or twice a week it gets really miserable.

Frickin' sensationalist press. Bubonic plague is NOT THAT RARE! Here's a CDC map of where we've had it here in the good old US of A in the recent past:

Some scantily clad beautiful women in the makeup and fragrance department might influence me. I'm a sucker for beautiful naked young women who smell good. Also, I have plenty of dollar bills to share with the ladies. Wait, dollar bills are probably passé now. That was in the olden times. It's probably five dollar bills minimum now. Someone with more recent experience will have to answer that. SLY?

Let sly and barfo do it their own ways. If they want to go on the offense and hack and slash at anything that moves, I say why not. Just get the hell out of their way.
Here's a thought, what if they hack and slash until there's nothing more moving except themselves?
