COVID-19: 115,000 healthcare worker deaths

Jack Good Health and Well-being

According to the WHO, they have estimated that the COVID-19 pandemic has killed around 115,000 healthcare workers. Speaking at the WHO's annual assembly, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that, "many have themselves become infected, and while reporting is scant, we estimate that at least 115,000 health and care workers have paid the ultimate price in the service of others". He added, "No country should assume it is out of the woods, no matter its vaccination rate. So far, no variants have emerged that significantly undermine the efficacy of vaccines, diagnostics or therapeutics. But there is no guarantee that will remain the case. We must be very clear: the pandemic is not over, and it will not be over until and unless transmission is controlled in every last country." The global pandemic is estimated to have claimed over 3.4 million lives, with an additional 167 million people who currently have the virus.
