56%的背后——真相渐渐浮出

      昨晚听州长说，加州56%的人可能会被感染，当时震惊的同时，很怀疑这个说法有没有根据。56%是一个非常可怕的概念，俩中一，可能吗？

      现在一些迹象渐渐浮出水面。

      今天看到一条洛杉矶时报有关洛杉矶县的疫情消息：美国第二大县级卫生当局昨发布指南，通告其工作人员放弃遏制冠状病毒爆发的努力，并指示医护人员不要对有症状的患者进行检查，因为查出阳性也无法对他们进行治疗。

      该指南的发布是因为周四发现病人急增、而检测(设备)短缺、也很难准确测查已经有多少人感染。

 

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.
