mascarilla ffp2 amazon, NEW YORK CONFIRMS 2ND CORONAVIRUS CASE We’ve seen how this virus similarly struck older individuals in nursing homes in Wuhan. The clusters of deaths among the elderly is a wake-up call that our skilled nursing facilities with older populations are highly vulnerable to a swath of death and destruction from this virus. Therefore, in the coming weeks, a top priority for federal, state and local health departments will be to prioritize infection control in these facilities. This might include restricting visitors and establishing intensive and regular virus diagnostic testing and monitoring among residents and staff. We urgently need federal guidance from the CDC on how to best design and implement infection control practices for these facilities and prevent the spread of SARS CoV2 – a tragic and scary “angel of death” among our senior citizens.
mascarilla ffp2 amazon - Hospitals and clinics Healthcare providers represent a second highly vulnerable population. In Wuhan, the SARS CoV2 virus spread rapidly in hospitals and we have reasons to believe the same could happen here. According to a study just published in JAMA more than 1,700 healthcare personnel in China have been infected with SARS CoV2 (with more than 1,000 in Wuhan), including 14.8 percent with severe respiratory illness, with some in critical condition.
mascarilla ffp2 amazon, We have already seen how two healthcare workers in the Bay area just tested positive for SARS CoV2, and we might expect many more to become infected in the coming weeks. The worry here is that COVID-19 could deplete infected hospital staff who self-quarantine at home, or even worse, that the virus sickens hospital staff to a point where they are cared for in ICUs by their colleagues. We saw how this scenario created an unstable situation at the Dallas hospital, where two ICU nurses acquired Ebola virus infection, and we should anticipate that it could have a similar impact with SARS CoV2.

Now, the Trump administration has enlisted private and academic laboratories, with the hope that more than one million people would be tested in the coming days or weeks. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP In parallel, we’ll need to revise CDC clinical testing criteria. Currently, only those with fever and cough who have contact with a known COVID-19 patient or someone with travel to a known affected country qualifies, although last week the CDC opened this up to patients with severe respiratory illness not caused by flu or other known causes. However, now with community spread of COVID-19 in the U.S., such criteria will miss many, if not most, of the infected individuals. Hopefully, with expanded testing capabilities, criteria will also be loosened.
mascarilla ffp2 amazon - Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar details steps that the Trump administration is taking to protect the American public from the coronavirus. Coronavirus outbreak fears are looming large over major sporting events coming in the next several weeks, including the NCAA Men’s and Women’s tournaments. The NCAA said Monday it is getting ready for any scenario regarding the coronavirus. The first set of games is in Dayton, Ohio. As of Tuesday, there were no cases of coronavirus reported in the state, but collegiate officials were ready to take precautions.
