In Europe, more than half of the patients who died of coronary virus disease in 2019 were old and weak living in the nursing home.He described this as a tragedy beyond imagination.

On April 23, the World Health Organization European Director Hans Kluge pointed out at a press conference in Copenhagen that in Europe, more than half of the patients who died in the 2019 coronary virus disease in 2019 are old and weak people who live in the nursing homeEssenceHe described this as a tragedy beyond imagination.Nursing homes refer to nursing homes such as nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals specializing in the elderly.

Crug quoted statistics at the time that a total of more than 190,000 crown deaths in the world, of which more than 110,000 were European regions, and 53 countries including large countries, Russia to small countries, had cases.Among them, nearly half of the death cases in France and Belgium are related to the nursing home, about 55%of Ireland.The British Guardian also reported on April 13 that a report released by the London School of Political Economics in the United Kingdom showed that according to statistics from European countries, nearly half of the deaths caused by coronary virus in Europe came from the nursing home, accounting for 42% of the total number of deaths.To 57%.

In fact, this phenomenon is not limited to European countries. Other places, the United States, where the most serious epidemic is today, is the case.Most of those who died of crown diseases around the world were the elderly.Statistics also show that the higher the age of patients with crown disease, the higher the mortality rate.For example, a report released by the US Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on April 18 shows that in the United States, about 80%of the crown disease deceased is over 65 years old.

The high mortality rate of elderly patients is that the older people are generally dysentery, such as hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, etc. The body's resistance is relatively weak.The sickness knocked down.Therefore, facilities and other facilities that the elderly gathered are one of the most vulnerable links in controlling the epidemic in various countries.

In a very short period of time, developed countries in Europe and the United States have become crown diseases. The outbreak of cases made the governments caught off guard. All kinds of medical supplies required to be in short supply. Many doctors and nurse who rescued patients on the front line must be on masks and masks andIn the case of insufficient protection, the dangerous work of life, many medical staff are also killed by infection, and the panic is just like Wuhan in the early stage of the epidemic.From February to early April, 100 doctors died in Italy alone.

In a panic, the epidemic of nursing institutions such as nursing homes is particularly prominent.At the peak of the epidemic, medical staff must even decide which patients are allocated to which patients with severe shortages to the ventilator.In the end, they chose to be younger and sacrificed older.An elderly man with a disease was at the juncture of life and death to give the ventilator to young patients.It seems very tragic, but extremely inhuman.Why do you have to make such a sacrifice when you are old?In addition, some medical staff also committed suicide due to the shortage of manpower, working long for a long time, worked hard, and could not bear the mental stress.Imagine that the regular hospitals are still chaotic, and the government has no effort to take care of facilities such as nursing homes.

In early April, the Italian Republican Daily reported that an outbreak epidemic in a nursing home in Solito, Ledito, southern in the south of the country, then left the nursing home and left 87 elderly people.Many elderly people are hungry and dehydration leading to weakness and death.

On April 15th, the New York Times reported that in a nursing home in New Jersey, the United States, due to the excessive remains, the corpse could not be placed, and a body was placed in a shed outside the nursing home.When the police received a report to the nursing home, the corpse had been removed from the shed.However, the police found 17 corpses in the small corpse of the nursing home, and there were only four corpses between the lantern.

Officials said the nursing home had 68 deceased before and after.Among them, 26 people's coronary virus detection was positive, and the two deceased were nurses.The cause of death is unclear.Among the current residents, the virus detection of 76 people is positive.According to a record shared by the local county health bureau and a federal official, the nursing home, including an administrator, a total of 41 staff members infected with coronary virus.

According to British media reports, there are more than 11,000 nursing homes across the country, with an accommodation of about 430,000.At present, about half of the nursing home has an epidemic situation and has become one of the hardest hit areas of the British epidemic.Similar situations in the United States have also occurred. According to a report from the United States Broadcasting Corporation on April 10, there are 2,500 nursing homes in the United States.

The reason why nursing homes such as nursing homes in developed countries in Europe and the United States are so serious that in addition to the above problems, there are obviously structural problems.These problems are usually ignored or ignored, and now they emerge with the epidemic.Cruguer euphemistically came out of the Central Plains Committee.He said that the management of such facilities, as well as the care method of hospitalizations, is providing ways to the spread of the virus.

The importance of the public sector is pivotal.This epidemic let us see all corners of the society.This should not be.Looking forward, we must transition to a new normal, and we must set up a complete, people -oriented long -term nursing system in each country.

To put it simply, there are problems with the facilities, operations and management of this kind of care for the elderly, and it has not received the attention of governments (public sectors) from various countries.In today's general society, the elderly are disdainful, and European and American society, which has always advocated youthful vitality.Some Chinese media people have done such observations: there is no one at the door of the nursing home, but the parents of the kindergarten are in groups.Elderly people who no longer have work and production capacity are generally ignored or even regarded as a social burden.It is hoped that our society is always a warm Asian society with old -fashioned, old -fashioned, and always advocating the social values and traditional filial piety of respecting the elderly and loving the elderly.

The public sector ignores the elderly, so the nursing homes are generally pushed to private enterprises for management and management. Most of them are placed in a place where remote or easier to invite cheap workers to save costs as much as possible, with the least manpower, and the most hospitalized hospitalization.By.Insufficient manpower, lack of training well -trained nursing staff, coupled with shortage of medical supplies, sudden epidemic, natural soldiers defeat, and the tragic situation is unbearable.

No wonder Crug said that it was a tragedy beyond imagination.For Western politicians and media, which has been hanging human rights in their mouths, this humanitarian tragedy is very ironic.Of course, developed countries also have luxurious high -level nursing homes or retired villages, but after all, only a few wealthy people can afford it.

In Singapore, we provide the same medical care for each diagnostic.This cannot be done by any other country.In other countries, there are no homes and illegal foreign workers, let alone the care of the government of the country when infected.

Now there are so many guest workers infection, which shows that our guest dormitory prevention and control system is very dense, which is very regrettable.But unfortunately, it is unsuccessful.It must be noted that the epidemic in Singapore's guest dormitory is also very special.Because there are no same examples in other parts of the world, almost all cases are concentrated in the guest dormitory, which is very different from the spread of the epidemic in other places.Therefore, the epidemic here is difficult to compare with the situation of any other country or region.

In any case, we must adapt to local conditions, adapt to time, and fight to the end.The government is investing in the huge resources that have not been seen before. Many volunteer groups who are usually doing their best for the benefits of the guest workers are also actively participating. This is also unaware of it elsewhere.

Fortunately, so far, although there are many people infected, there are still very few ones.It can be explained in turn that the care of all patients is in place, and no patient is abandoned or discriminated against.Some of our nursing homes are also infected, but they have been well controlled, and naturally there are no humanitarian tragedies that are beyond imagination.

I hope that the epidemic can be controlled as soon as possible, and I wish all the infected diseases, including the largest number of guest workers, recover soon.At the same time, we must also use this for the past few months. All medical staff who are fighting endlessly pay tribute, everyone is lucky!
