We get some of that at the local hospital where Miss Z currently works, especially in A&E but also on her ward where visitors insist on coming in without masks.
Luckily, most of Miss Z's patients are very ill and want to get treated quickly so they don a mask and get tested as required or or otherwise go to the end of the queue. Miss Z puts up with very little crap and the nursing staff are very supportive.
Unfortunately the despite lots of "don't attack our staff posters" it happens, and the Trust, who are supposed to support criminal action against the attackers, don't, preferring to blame the victim for not managing the situation better.
(Miss Z applied a sharp knee to the groin of a patient a couple of years back in self defence.)
