The tally includes doctors, nurses and paramedics, as well as crucial support staff such as hospital custodians, administrators and nursing home workers, who put their own lives at risk during the pandemic to care for others. #LostOnTheFrontline
The early data indicates that dozens have died who were unable to access adequate #PPE and at least 35 succumbed after federal work-safety officials received safety complaints about their workplaces. #LostOnTheFrontline
But because this database is a work in progress — with new confirmed cases added weekly — the early findings represent a fraction of total reports and are not representative of all health care worker deaths. View the #LostOnTheFrontline database. 👇 khn.org/lost-on-the-fr…
We are continuing to gather the names of health care workers who’ve died and dig into why so many are falling ill. We welcome tips and feedback at frontline@theguardian.com and covidtips@kff.org. #LostOnTheFrontline
