    It is sad to hear this ,who offer their lives in serving our lives ,day and night ,to take care of human lives.Same with people who work in this medical branch whether a nurse r asst,nurse ,or other people involved.When patients get healed go home ,these people have the full stress of further treating others and are in a situation whom to care and whom not sometimes when no sufficient medical aids are there.That again do bring mental pressure.When they go home without their knowledge may some infection carry home to self or relatives.The circle is then complete.Begins from start.Medical association must come to help to these family who died during their duty .Govt.should have taken care to such medicos to give vaccine earliest.
