80,260,092 and 983,237. Respectively, these are the numbers of reported COVID-19 cases and deaths in the United States. The effects of COVID-19 impact people who contracted the disease, families who lost someone, and people at risk who have been in isolation for over one year. One group who has been heavily affected by the pandemic is healthcare professionals. Healthcare workers were thrown into the frontlines without proper equipment, including PPE, and, at one point during the height of the pandemic, they also did not have enough ICU beds and ventilators. Because healthcare workers lacked medical equipment, they were more likely to contract COVID-19, which reduced the “quality and quantity of care available.”
