More than 75% of US emergency and intensive care clinicians are very concerned about their own health and safety, according to a Bain & Company survey conducted in the last week of March. Other top concerns include having the resources to adequately and safely care for patients and exposing their own family members to the coronavirus. As the number of people infected in the US has exceeded 200,000, other, less prominent worries include the resources to test enough people, workload and burnout, mental health, and hospital/practice finances.
