Medical staff say virus stigma driving Tokyo hospitals to edge of collapse
This is the first time that I've read about health/care workers being shunned and stigmatised, but I can see how it can happen. I can't imagine that this is a purely Japanese phenomenon, though. Anyone from anywhere outside of Japan able to point to similar media reports?Edited to add: thanks for the posters below who pointed me at relevant articles concerning workers similarly stigmatised elsewhere. Shameful and depressing are words that spring easily to mind :-(
