56%的背後——真相漸漸浮出

      昨晚聽州長說，加州56%的人可能會被感染，當時震驚的同時，很懷疑這個說法有沒有根據。56%是一個非常可怕的概念，倆中一，可能嗎？

      現在一些跡象漸漸浮出水麵。

      今天看到一條洛杉磯時報有關洛杉磯縣的疫情消息：美國第二大縣級衛生當局昨發布指南，通告其工作人員放棄遏製冠狀病毒爆發的努力，並指示醫護人員不要對有症狀的患者進行檢查，因為查出陽性也無法對他們進行治療。

      該指南的發布是因為周四發現病人急增、而檢測(設備)短缺、也很難準確測查已經有多少人感染。

 

L.A. County Gives Up on Containing Coronavirus Outbreak

The nation’s second-largest municipal health system has told its staff that it is essentially abandoning hope of containing the coronavirus outbreak and instructed doctors not to bother testing symptomatic patients if a positive result won’t change how they would be treated.

The guidance, sent by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services 
to its doctors on Thursday, was prompted by a crush of patients and shortage of tests, and could make it difficult to ever know precisely how many people in L.A. County contracted the virus.
