More than 1700 healthcare workers have died from COVID-19, according to a national nurses union, whose report blames governmental failures for the number of deaths.

The report, Sins of Omission, blames the government's "failure to track COVID-19 data" regarding the extent of the mortality. It was written by National Nurses United (NNU), the largest union in the United States for registered nurses, with 150,000 members.

Not science. Just a simple fact.

These are the people that have laid their lives down on the line to save people and they are now gone.

The nurses' data show a disproportionate toll on nurses of color in the United States. Only 24.1% of registered nurses here are people of color, but 124, or 58.2%, of the RNs who have died of COVID-19 and related complications are nurses of color.

New York lost the most healthcare workers to COVID-19 (310), followed by New Jersey (193) and California (167).

"These deaths frequently have been met with silence or outright denials," the report states. "If hospitals are not widely required to publicly disclose their deaths and infection rates, they lack important incentives not to become zones of infection."

This is from the same source.

Why are nurses of colour more susceptible? I'm guessing you are going for the racism angle, because that's the kind of person you are.

Wow you are stunning clueless. pretending I am such a person. Do you wear your white hood when you type?

Do you have anything useful to post or are you going to giggle about your inability to think without your white hood?

Heads up, if the first place you go to is "RACIST/RACISM" YOU are the racist.

I didn't. You need to go take your white hood off. It is causing hypoxia

Of course you did. it's how you people operate, hence the continuing "white hood" comments...

Thanks for showing your racist attitudes. Do you have anything other than revealing your racist tendencies to say in this thread?

The physician tested positive for the virus in early July and died on 19 September after spending over two months in hospital. She had worked in a Houston emergency department, and a family member says she reused personal protective equipment (PPE) day after day due to shortages.

Fagan is one of over 250 medical staff who died in southern and western hotspot states as the virus surged there over the summer, according to reporting by the Guardian and Kaiser Health News as part of Lost on the Frontline, a project to track every US healthcare worker death. In Texas, nine medical deaths in April soared to 33 in July, after Governor Greg Abbott hastily pushed to reopen the state for business and then reversed course.
