Are they really that dumb?

Texas relative by marriage is getting certified as a armed security guard. Has already passed firearm, taser training. Currently working in a hospital setting as a security guard with issued face shield and mask

This week they were taking the hand to hand combat training with full contact padding, but no respirator or face shield.

Would the participants be health tested prior to training the same way legal hookers are health tested? I doubt it.

I have serious reservations on the validity of many government mandated training and testing.

For Gov mandatory that's actually not that bad. It somewhat makes sense and is completely solvable by the employees.

How would you solve this?

I am not being sarcastic, but they will someday save lives more than primary physicians do in their lifetime.
