Original title: Tens of thousands of people in the United States were infected with the new crown in the hospital last year. US media: the actual number or higher
Overseas Network, November 8th. According to US media reports, a US non-profit organization recently released new data showing that last year (2020), tens of thousands of people in the US were infected with the new crown virus after going to the hospital, and the actual number may be even higher. higher.
According to “New York Daily News” and CNN reported on the 7th, the non-profit organization “Caesars Health News” analyzed US federal and state data and found that more than 10,000 patients were diagnosed after being admitted to the hospital for other reasons last year. Infected with the new coronavirus. From April to September last year, about 21% of patients infected with the new coronavirus in the hospital died.
The organization found through reviewing safety production supervision records and medical literature that some hospitals did not follow the guidance of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to test every inpatient. The relevant tests are determined by the “institution itself.” When hospital employees are exposed to the new crown virus, the management often fails to notify them, so there is a risk of spreading the virus.
A woman named Cindy Johnson believes that her husband may have been infected with the new crown virus in November last year by employees of the Black Medical Center in Bradenton, Florida. She mentioned that her husband Steven tested negative for the new crown 2 days before admission, but after 13 days in the hospital, the test result became positive and died shortly after. Cindy recalled that a large number of staff in the hospital entered her husband’s room, and the husband often did not wear a mask in the hospital. Therefore, it was suspected that the staff had transmitted the new crown virus to her husband. “I am very angry, how dare this hospital be on the website? Say that safety precautions have been taken and it is one of the safest places to receive medical services?”
