Tell us: are you a US healthcare worker concerned about coronavirus?

We’d like US healthcare workers to get in touch to help us understand whether the US is prepared for a coronavirus outbreak.

A whistleblower has alleged that US health workers who assisted Americans evacuated from China because of the coronavirus outbreak were not given proper training or appropriate protective gear.

Other experts have warned that the US healthcare system is uniquely unprepared to deal with an outbreak like this because of factors such as the cost of healthcare and the lack of paid sick days.
