Healthcare Workers Face Coronavirus Up Close

Healthcare workers, especially doctors and nurses stationed at hospitals, have been a focus of media coverage as they deal with the COVID-19 coronavirus on the front lines. Some right-rated outlets have reported on positive outlooks provided by healthcare workers; most coverage has focused on the high contraction risk for healthcare workers, and the overall severity of the situation for workers in hospitals and long-term care facilities. Federal health officials said at Tuesday's daily White House press briefing that 100,000 to 240,000 people could die from the virus based on current projections, assuming current guidelines are followed by the public.
