16 Health Workers Talk About Their Battles With the Pandemic

Wired  

Health care workers the world over have never faced combat with anything quite like Covid-19, a disease that spreads rapidly and so far has killed more than 360,000 people worldwide.

These health workers must take time away from their families, and they can’t even see all of their patients.
