One hundred Italian doctors have died of the novel coronavirus since the pandemic reached the Mediterranean country in February, Italy ’ s FNOMCeO health association said on Thursday .
“ The number of doctors who have died because of COVID- 19 is 100 – perhaps even 101 at the moment , unfortunately, ” a FNOMCeO spokesman told AFP .
The toll includes retired doctors the government began calling in a month ago to help fight a coronavirus that has officially claimed a world - topping 17 , 669 lives in Italy .

“ We can longer allow our doctors , our health workers , to be sent to fight without any protection against the virus , ” FNOMCeO president Filippo Anelli said on the association ’ s website.
“ It is an unfair fight . ”
Rome ’ s ISS public health institute estimates that 10 per cent of those infected with the novel coronavirus in Italy work in health care .

Make God safe us ooi

Only God can deliver the world from this pandemic. Imagine countries with the best medical facilities being so terribly dealth with by this virus.
I don't even want to imagine Nigeria's situation becoming like that of Italy's. With our poor medical facilities and poorer medical supplies it would be worse than a nightmare.
Pray, stay at home and take all the necessary precautions and I believe we will all see the end of this pandemic.
