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?????”
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?

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

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

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?

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.

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

At least 7,000 health workers around the world
of nearly EIGHT BILLION PEOPLE.
Lying by omission is just completely out of control anymore.
