[ link to www.washingtonexaminer.com (secure)] Health experts warn Congress coronavirus may hit US hard in next two to four weeksLeading health officials expect to see a significant uptick in coronavirus cases nationwide. “We're going to start to see those outbreaks emerge sometime in the next two to four weeks,” said Scott Gottlieb, former Food and Drug Administration commissioner. “We should be leaning in very aggressively to try to broaden diagnostic screening right now, particularly in communities where there is a lot of immigration where these efforts could emerge to identify them early enough that they'll be small enough that we can intervene to prevent — prevent more epidemic spread in this country.” [snip] “I don't think we should be planning for the onesie-twosie cases that we've been seeing thus far in the United States,” said Asha George, executive director of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense. “We have to plan for the possibility that we have thousands of cases, you know.” [snip] Gottlieb said he believes China first saw the epidemic spread internally in November and doubts the Chinese government’s data are sound. The coronavirus was confirmed to be in the U.S. in January, unbeknownst to the public. Chinese officials announced the first known human-to-human transmission on Jan. 20. For arguments sake, let's say China dropped the ball, lied, are still lying, and they tried to contain the outbreak too late. How is the infection curve looking in a country using disinfectants and modern medicine. Is the curve still exponential? Are we f#$%ed? The million dollar question. The US has top of the line health care, no doubt. However, there are a finite number of ventilators and ECMO machines in the country. Once demand gets to a certain point, all bets are off. Top the line health care with nurses and doctors ready to quit the moment things look bad. >> According to a survey conducted by CIDRAP, almost half of healthcare workers admit that they would stay home during a pandemic. Another study, published in the journal BMC Public Health, found that 28% of healthcare professionals agree it would be acceptable to abandon their workplace during a pandemic in order to protect themselves and their families. From another forum #1 : I am almost 7 months pregnant and had the same conversation with my husband. I work in a large hospital as an RN. Not worth the risk to my life or my child’s life. Is it selfish- sure. Do I care? Not really. and #2 : My wife and I are expecting a baby this summer. We talked about if it did get bad she would resign and become a stay at home mother. At least until everything was better. No need to risk anything there were half a dozen more admissions in the thread. Consider 25-50% of the staff quitting - how will the hospitals look? Wuhan has over 1,700 medical staff infected now and they are having to bus in medical students. (expendables) >>Reuters reports that 1,716 health workers have been infected by the coronavirus and six of them have died, as of Tuesday.
