Geospatial analysis of COVID-19 and otolaryngologists above age 60()	2020-04-30		.txt	text/plain	1780	98	56	CONCLUSIONS: Based on our models, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Michigan represent states where older ENTs may be the most susceptible to developing severe complications from nosocomial transmission of COVID-19 due to a combination of high COVID-19 case volumes and a high proportion of ENTs over 60 years. The novel coronavirus' dramatic impact on medical personnel parallels the epidemiology of the 2003 severe acute respiratory disease (SARS) outbreak in which 21% of global cases were health care worker infections [4] . The present study compares the geospatial distribution of COVID-19 confirmed cases against the distribution of ENTs over the age of 60 to highlight the potential risks to this segment of vulnerable health care providers. The highest risk states for older ENTs, defined by the ratio of total confirmed COVID-19 case volume to the total number of ENT providers over 60, were New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Michigan, among others ( Table 2 ).	./cache/cord-263300-qfquedya.txt	./txt/cord-263300-qfquedya.txt
