PROBLEM: Paragraph: Some 100 medical workers are reported to have died from the disease so far, including many nurses, Howard Catton, ceo of the International Council of Nurses, told a news briefing. The world's 28 million nurses, 59% of all health workers, were overstretched before the crisis began, the WHO, the Nursing Now campaign, and Geneva-based council said in the first "State of the World's Nursing Report". Some have become targets out of people's fear of contagion. "We have picked up reports around the world of abuse, harassment of health workers, we had one case of somebody being spat on as well. It is completely unacceptable, reprehensible," Catton said. He called for governments to have a "zero tolerance approach" to such abuse and to ensure that public health messages are clear and fact-based. Giorgio Cometto of WHO's health workforce department said it was a relatively new phenomenon "whereby health workers are seen as a potential risk, as a potential threat as opposed to being a solution to the current crisis". "This really reinforces the need to have adequate communication for the public as well as specific measures to be put in place to protect health workers particularly in the context of the response to the current pandemic," he said. Baroness Mary Watkins, chair of Nursing Now, said nurses have been attacked previously during outbreaks of Ebola and the AID-HIV epidemic. Referring to COVID-19, she said: "We have not had active violence that I know of in the UK, but we have had people trying to take nurses' badges because they have been allowed to go into supermarkets early to buy food before going on their shift... That seems to have had a stop put to it. "But there has been a very very clear directive from the police in many countries that attacking a health care worker is unacceptable. We need to keep pressure up," Watkins added. There is still a global shortage of nearly 6 million nurses, mainly in low- and lower-middle income countries, where the number of new recruits barely keeps pace with population growth, the report said. Nurses are particularly lacking across Africa, in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Venezuela, it added. Claim: Nurses must be protected from abuse during coronavirus pandemic: WHO, nursing groups.

SOLUTION: Authorities must protect nurses and other health workers from harassment and attacks compounding the already heavy toll they are paying in the pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) and top nursing officials said on Tuesday.

PROBLEM: Paragraph: The three have been speaking out this week as part of a high-profile "Heads Together" campaign, which aims to break stigmas around mental health issues and encourage people to speak openly about their emotions. In a six-minute film recorded at Kensington Palace in central London on Wednesday, the trio discussed the stress of becoming new parents, dealing with trauma at work, and the death of the princes' mother, Princess Diana, in a Paris car crash in 1997. "When you have children, it really does put your own emotions and your own life into perspective and it has been very, very interesting understanding why I get so upset about some things, why some things effect me," William said in the clip released by his office on Friday. "I thought I was fairly straight down the line, but I feel quite a lot more than I used to." William, Queen Elizabeth's grandson and second in line to the throne, said he had taken home some of the cases he had encountered when working as an air ambulance helicopter pilot. He and Kate also spoke of the pressure of parenthood following the birth of son George in 2013. "... You have no idea what you're doing no matter how many books you read - nothing can prepare you for it," Kate said. The first few weeks after they returned to their former home in Wales, she said, "were a steep learning curve, massively". Earlier this week, William talked about how the shock of losing his mother still lingered 20 years after her death. Harry said he had sought counseling to help deal with the grief. William warned the British virtue of the stiff upper lip could damage mental health - a departure from the royal family's traditional stoic attitude amid crises ranging from the 1936 abdication of King Edward VIII to the death of Princess Diana. "We have been brought closer because of the circumstances. You are uniquely bonded because of what we've been through. But even Harry and I over the years have not talked enough about our mother," William said. Harry added: "Never enough". "I always thought to myself, 'what's the point in bringing up the past?'," Harry said. "What's the point in bringing up something that's only going to make you sad, it ain't going to change it, it ain't going to bring her back. When you start thinking like that, it can be really damaging." A Kensington Palace spokesman said the royals had been overwhelmed by the response to their campaign. "Having asked others to start conversations on mental health with their friends and families, they wanted to show that they are taking part as well," the spokesman said. Claim: UK's William, Harry and Kate open up about emotional struggles.

SOLUTION: Britain's Prince William, his wife Kate and brother Harry have given their most public comments on their emotional struggles and how the siblings' closeness helped them cope with their mother's death.

PROBLEM: Paragraph: France has already ordered 1 billion masks to ease an acute shortage nationwide that has angered front-line healthcare officials and politicians as the coronavirus outbreak has swept across the country, killing at least 3,523 people. Speaking at a mask-producing factory on Tuesday, Macron said he had ordered a tripling of domestic mask production by the end of April to 10 million and production of 10,000 extra respirators by mid-May. "The priority today is to produce more in Europe and France," Macron said at the Kolmi-Hopen factory near the western town of Angers. "By the end of the year I want to us to be fully and completely independent (in production)," he said, adding that 4 billion euros ($4.39 billion) had been set aside for the Public Health Authority to buy equipment. The pandemic has triggered a massive surge in demand for protective gear in France and neighboring European countries including Italy and Spain, with the world's worst and second worst death tolls from the respiratory illness respectively. China, where the virus originated and where countless factories were shut down to contain its spread, accounts for more than half the global production of masks, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). New mask producers like car parts maker Faurecia, tire maker Michelin and retailer Intermarche will also push total output to 15 million per week, Macron said. The number of people in France infected with the virus rose to 52,128 on Tuesday, a 17% rise on the previous day. In 2013, France's previous government took the decision to sharply reduce the number of face masks held in strategic reserve after a public outcry over the cost of bolstering stocks during the H1N1 bird flu crisis. Mask consumption since the onset of the coronavirus crisis has soared from four million per week to more than 40 million, but the state's pre-crisis inventory of 140 million has proved insufficient as has the import of billions of masks. Nowhere has the shortage been felt more than in hospitals and nursing homes where health professionals have criticized the government's slow reaction to the unfolding crisis. Sarah, a nurse in a coronavirus wing of a Paris hospital, told Reuters on Tuesday that the lack of masks for staff, but also patients, was getting worse despite government pledges. "Each patient should have their own mask, but we don't have enough to change them and some don't even have any. I had one (patient) who coughed on me and we didn't have any gel left either to disinfect," she said. "What makes me angry is that we don't have the equipment to protect ourselves. Who will look after the patients when we fall sick?" The management of the crisis, which has halt the economy and forced the government to lock down France until at least April 15, has also been condemned by opposition lawmakers. Far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen said on Monday the government had lied about "absolutely everything, without any exceptions". Macron hit back on Tuesday. "When we fight a battle, we must be united to win it and I think that all those who are already trying to hold trials when we have not won the war are irresponsible," he said. "The time will come for accountability." Claim: Amid criticism, Macron vows to raise medical gear output to tackle coronavirus.

SOLUTION:
President Emmanuel Macron pledged on Tuesday to make France self-sufficient in protective masks by year-end and learn lessons from the coronavirus emergency, firing back at growing criticism of his government over painful equipment shortages.
