Even though this article has nothing to do with what is on the site (cars, offroad and related stuff), I considered it necessary to write it.

Danger of the Century

Co-Vid 19 is a global epidemic outbreak that everyone heard about. It had a very rapid spread in Europe and many countries are overwhelmed by the speed and the way the virus passes from a person to another. As I write this article Italy has the number one with 7503 deaths, followed by Spain with 3434 and China with 3163. The biggest problem of the health systems in all the countries of the world, even those that are economically developed is that the medical staff that is in the first line of the battle against the virus is very exposed.

Because of that exposure, many doctors and nurses have been infected and have been sent into isolation at home (if they don’t have any symptoms or they have relatively easy symptoms) and the rest are kept in hospitals alongside the other pacients.

Main problems worldwide

Of course, not many countries can built a hospital in a few days like China but te biggest problem is yet to come. Many countries are not ready with protection materials for all the people involded in this battle (masks, glasses, etc) and enough room in the hospitals for everyone. A scenario that is more likely to happen across the globe is exactly the one happening rigth now in Romania.

In a short period of time, the most important hospital in the Suceava city became the center of the outbreak. Right now the hospital is shut down, all the patients were transfered or sent home and in the next few days it will be transformed into a CoVid-19 hospital.

The main problem is that 34 out of 233 doctors in the hospital have been tested positive to the new virus and 49 medical nurses are also infected with Covid-19. Those without symptoms will go home in isolation for a period of 14 days and the rest will be hospitalized.  This is the protocol that it is followed all around the world. The work of these doctors and nurses falls into the hands of their colleagues and in a few days it will be too much for them.

Solution?

So what if the doctors and the nurses that are staying home for 14 days are willing to work in the hospital and also stay in the hospital for that period of 14 days? I think every hospital should find a way to separate the infected doctors and nurses (without symptoms) that can work. This way the crisis of hospital staff won’t be that high plus they won’t need so much protection when working because they can’t be infected. That is untill the person is fully recovered.

Because of the lack of personal protection more and more doctors and medical staff will eventualy be infected. I know most of those heroes of these times would be willing to work even though they are infected. In a 2-3 weeks time, we will have a minimum of 1000 new cases per day. In those moments every hospital will need every man and women with medical training to deal with so many patients.

These decisions will have to be made by those who are in charge of the medical units and, of course, the medical staff as well.

It may seem like a foolish idea, but it might help. Maybe it’s wrong for many reasons unknown to me. But has anyone tried it yet?
