ABSTRACT. We draw on a substantial body of theoretical and empirical research on acute depression, moral dilemmas, and illness fears in COVID-19 frontline healthcare providers, and to explore this, we inspected, used, and replicated survey data from Benenden Health, BMA, CVN, GMU/CCCC, Harvard Medical School, ICFJ, IPPR, NNU, Statista, TCDJ/Columbia University, UNC School of Medicine, YouGov, and YPCCC, performing analyses and making estimates regarding how primary care providers in close contact with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients may develop psychiatric symptoms, significant depression, extreme anxiety, and burnout syndrome due to intense workload and increased responsibilities. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
