Nurses Are the Main Victims of COVID Workers; Spend More Time with Patients,Lack Equipment

A study by Kaiser Health News (KHN) and The Guardian found more nurses died from the coronavirus pandemic than any other of the 177 confirmed deaths of healthcare workers, the Newsmax website reports today (August 29, 2020).

KHN and The Guardian reported 68 of those deaths were nurses, and 21 of those were doctors.

Shortages of protective equipment, under-staffing, and an overburdened healthcare system are believed to be the main reasons for the large number of healthcare workers' deaths.
