In North Dakota, nurses infected with the virus who did not show symptoms were asked to continue working amid staffing shortages. “Nurses are totally burned out from this,” said Deborah Burger, a registered nurse and co-president of National Nurses United. Lost on the Frontline, a joint investigation by the Guardian and Kaiser Health News, has identified nearly 1,400 frontline healthcare workers who appear to have died of Covid-19. Many more healthcare workers are struggling with illness, trauma and exhaustion. Gentile and his colleagues blame staffing shortages and an administration that “undervalues” its nurses.
