This makes me sad to read, but happy that they are posting it.

Hundreds of US healthcare workers have died fighting Covid-19. We count them and investigate why.

While any loss of life to this illness is tragic their own stats show 153 confirmed deaths across all the listed health care occupations. I would hardly call this "hundreds" . So many websites are exaggerating the deathrate when no exaggeration is needed. We know the virus kills - but if it killed off nurses as fast as some would suggest we would already be at a point where there were hardly any nurses left.

It is actually close to about 940 deaths, they have just only listed photos and stories for the 153. To m e, that number is inexcusable because many of them were from a lack of proper gear I MHO. Just my two cents!
