Do We Know If, Or How Many, Nhs Workers Sadly Died After Contracting Covid?

[Paigntonian]

Just be interesting to know.

There have been quite a few but, given that many basic statistics on Covid are unavailable, I doubt if your question can be answered by members of the public.

Hey, look what I found on the interweb:

Thanks Zacs. Don't know why this is not widely known when NHS workers are (rightly) praised.

This report from August said there were more than 620 NHS staff and social care worker deaths from Covid.

'From' or 'with'?

[woofgang]

thinking from Douglas.....otherwise healthy working individuals who weren't expected to die of anything.

"At least X number..." in a newspaper and a discussion in another last August do not constitute reliable data - that was my point. I have been looking for various details (running, continually updated statistics on various aspects) since the beginning of the pandemic. What has been quite striking is how I have been able to get these for other countries but not the UK or any part of it, in up to 11 languages in some individual countries.

200 ?
I thought about 2000

NHS has about 1m worker and if 1% are positive which is 10 000 - and if the mortality is 10% you expect 1000 deaths and if it is 3% 300

altho I have to say if you get it as an NHS worker you are likely to get it from a patient

its a glub isnt it? greatest least bound

if the judge at the arena bomb heard a first responder say
" we were told at least 15 children dead and 200 injured, but this data is unreliable so we put down 0 and 0 and sat there are did nothing for a few hours" His lordship wouldnt say - "oh yes very good, exactly right! well done" would he?
