At least 7,000 health workers around the world have died as a result of contracting the coronavirus, according to analysis published by Amnesty International.

The human rights group said at least 1,320 health workers were confirmed to have died as a result of Covid-19 in Mexico alone, the highest known figure for any country worldwide. Health worker fatalities related to the virus were also high in the U.S. (1,077) and Brazil (634), Amnesty International said.

“Many months into the pandemic, health workers are still dying at horrific rates in countries such as Mexico, Brazil and the USA, while the rapid spread of infections in South Africa and India show the need for all states to take action,” Steve Cockburn, head of economic and social justice at Amnesty International, said in a statement.

7,000????? The whole CNBC staff wrote this? They running out of fear porn or what???

[AppyPappy]

And they were wearing masks!!!!

[caww]

7,000 ‘Worldwide’ isn’t a lot.....

[ripnbang]

Not this sh_t again...

“7,000?????”

A number such as that is not a rate. A rate would be that number divided by the total number of health workers.

And are those health workers all dying of Coronavirus or is that total deaths?

[Free America52]

A quick google search shows there are 59 million healthcare workers in the world. That would mean a death rate of 0.012%.

"At least 7,000 health workers around the world have died as a result of contracting the coronavirus"

I wonder how many health workers have died worldwide since March in car accidents, or of other causes....

They just make stuff up ... otherwise known as LYING. Enemies of The Republic they are

[left that other site]

7000...AROUND THE WORLD? Seriously?

The population of my gated community in Florida was bigger than that.

Dang media accessible pot heads. Put that pipe down.

[MHGinTN]

The audience for these fear porns isn’t able to make that level of reasoning. What is the percentage representing 7ooo out of 7 billion population, or 700,000 healthcare workers?

[Hiddigeigei]

How many were taking Dr. Zelenko’s prophylactic?

[DUMBGRUNT]

This is bunk!
About 6,000 hospitals in the USA.

And not all hospitals accept COVID patients.

Is this ‘study’ based on crowdsourcing? Twitter reports, TV news?

Where is OSHA???
If they died from accidents at hospital sites, this would be earth shattering news.

Creating Drama is what they do and the media loves promoting dramatic news and building on it as well.

As for sending students home at Universities and Colleges....well avoiding law suites is likely why they're doing so. Couple all this under the election umbrella of course.

[Texas Eagle]

7,000 health care worker deaths worldwide is a tragedy; 12,000 deaths in Coomo’s New York nursing homes is a statistic.

[backwoods-engineer]

All LIES.

[Buckeye McFrog]

At least 7,000 health workers around the world

of nearly EIGHT BILLION PEOPLE.

Lying by omission is just completely out of control anymore.

[silverleaf]

How many died who are on HCQ prophylaxis?
