完人甚難——US CDC mixed up as well

(2020-02-11 17:26:15) 下一個

        此次武漢當局在應對時疫之初,犯有大錯。但眼下並非追責的適當時機。據聞,當局上下正在全員拚命工作,爭取戴罪立功。故而,暫且停止對他們的責罵,放其一馬,待秋後算賬,再論功過。

        人非聖賢,孰能無過。【元】劉祁《歸潛誌》卷十三:“士之立身如素絲然,慎不可使點汙,少有點汙,則不得為完人矣。” 【明】呂坤《呻吟語選·聖賢》:“為宇宙完人甚難;自初生以至屬纊,徹頭徹尾,無些子破綻,尤難。” 魯迅《準風月談》:“不過我們另外還有一種相反的脾氣:首飾要‘足赤’,人物要‘完人’。”

        隻要是人,都可能犯錯。不分中外,此理皆通。無論政治背景,宗教信仰,當務之急,控製疫情,搶救危重,恢複正常生活,乃是你我之最大的願望,最高的政治,最神聖的信仰。

        據CNN報道,美國疾病控製與預防中心和聖地亞哥一家醫院的失誤,導致一名攜帶新型冠狀病毒的婦女被送回海軍陸戰隊Miramar基地,而不是被送往醫院隔離。

        該名婦女於2月5日乘坐國務院航班從中國武漢撤離,飛往該基地。第二天,她開始出現症狀,並被送至UC San Diego Health Center。另外三名出現症狀的人也被送往該醫院。

        醫院將病人的測試標本送到亞特蘭大的CDC實驗室進行測試。據稱,標本在抵達CDC實驗室時被錯誤地標記,未意識到它們是來自四名Miramar患者的標本,因此未經測試。

        當無測試結果反饋時,疾病預防控製中心的工作人員錯誤地向UC San Diego Health Center提供了測試結果為陰性的報告。這個錯誤導致4名患者在周日下午又被送回空軍基地。

        他們回到基地後,亞特蘭大CDC發現了錯誤,隨後對4名患者的標本進行了測試,結果顯示一名婦女呈陽性。該名婦女於周一早上被送回加州大學聖地亞哥校區健康中心,並一直處於隔離狀態。消息人士稱,這名婦女病情很輕,沒有發燒,沒有咳嗽。其他三名患者測試陰性。

        在星期二的新聞發布會上,疾病預防控製中心首席副主任安妮·舒卡特(Anne Schuchat)博士說,Miramar患者的檢測過程中有些“混淆”,她補充說患者在出現症狀後可能隻與有限的人有過接觸。調查仍在進行。

 

Source tells CNN (from CNN's Elizabeth Cohen): Errors by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a hospital in San Diego led to a woman with the novel coronavirus being sent back to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar instead of being sent to isolation at the hospital, according to a health official familiar with the situation.

The woman was among Americans in federal quarantine at the base. She flew to the base on February 5 on a State Department flight evacuating Americans from Wuhan, China. The next day she started experiencing symptoms of the novel coronavirus and was taken to UC San Diego Health Center. Three other people who were exhibiting symptoms were also transported to the hospital.

The hospital sent their specimens to a CDC lab in Atlanta for testing. According to the source, the specimens were incorrectly labeled upon arrival and so they were not tested. The CDC lab did not realize the specimens were from the four Miramar patients.

When no results were reported back, CDC staffers mistakenly gave UC San Diego Health Center the results of the four patients who tested negative. That mistake led to all four Miramar patients being transferred back to the base Sunday afternoon.

After they arrived back at the base, the mistake was discovered and the tests were run on the four Miramar patients. The results for the woman came back positive, and she was transported back to UC San Diego Health Center on Monday morning, where she remains in isolation. The woman has had a very mild illness, according to the source, with no fever and a slight cough. The other three patients tested negative.

A spokesperson for the hospital could not be immediately reached for comment. During a news conference on Tuesday, Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC, said "there was a little bit of a mix-up there” around the testing for the Miramar patient. She added that the patient may have had limited contact with others when she developed symptoms, but the investigation is ongoing.
