Grammar: Why can't I understand this OP?
If you got an issue you should properly explain it.
They're annoyed because they claim women nurses are saying they're trying to get pregnant as a means to avoid having to handle Covid-19 patients.Grammar: Why can't I understand this OP?

Sorry too busy donning and doffting PPE to explain why my female colleagues aren't doing the same as I am. Seriously being a male nurse sucks
Superb username/avatar combination.It sounds like they are being exempted from taking COVID-19 patients because they are trying to get pregnant, and their belief is that this would pose a risk to the pregnancy.
I am not sure if this is true (the risk), but it makes sense as a reason to be excluded, if it was. Women (who are pregnant) often get time off work prior to birth due to increased risk of complications if they are not put on bed rest, for example, so such sex-based distinctions are valid for pregnancy. Again, not commenting on if the current claims are true.
Personally, at this point if you don't want to catch COVID-19 as a nurse then you shouldn't be in a hospital or care centre of any kind.
EDIT - Also, OP should be more clear that women are not being exempted, it is women trying to get pregnant (who may be already pregnant). I mean, they could be lying to get away from potential contraction of the virus, but the distinction is important.
This is wrong and reported
For all we know it is only two women who are actually trying, or twenty women. OP needed to add more info.
At least in the UK they're a group being asked to self-isolate or be strict with their social distancing disciplines.It sounds like they are being exempted from taking COVID-19 patients because they are trying to get pregnant, and their belief is that this would pose a risk to the pregnancy.

From what we know pregnant woman are not part of the risk group. In China they have not been hit worse than the average population.I am not sure if this is true (the risk), but it makes sense as a reason to be excluded.

To be fair, he specifically said pregnant, not just women. I think that needs to be brought up at least.Plenty of women are tending to covid patients, stop treating your work situation like it is the fucking gospel.
