2,900 Healthcare deaths

 As we end this year, this report from Kaiser Health News, shows over 2,900 healthcare workers have died from #covid19 in the US this year. It details the role that the lack of adequate PPE has played. 

2020 was the Year of the Nurse, but there was no celebrating for our frontline healthcare workers. 

They don’t want accalades, they don’t want to be heroes. They want to help people and then go home safely to their families. Oh, and they’d like to be able to do that at the end of their scheduled shift, not after yet another mandated 16 hour shift, due to chronic understaffing.
