Strong opposition to the new US Corona "If you have no symptoms, you can work as a medical worker" November 19, 7:02
In the United States, where the number of new coronavirus infections continues to exceed 100,000, the governor of a seriously infected state has ordered that health care workers who are asymptomatic can continue to work. On the other hand, there is a strong backlash from the nurses.
According to a summary by Johns Hopkins University, there were more than 160,000 new infections in the United States on the 17th, with more than 100,000 days continuing for more than two weeks.
According to a survey by a private organization, the number of people admitted to medical institutions is increasing in almost all states, more than 76,000 people in the United States, and the number of people receiving treatment in the ICU = intensive care unit is also about. With 15,000 people, medical institutions are tight in various places.
In the Midwestern North Dakota, which has the highest number of infected people per capita, there is a risk of a shortage of doctors and nurses, and the governor said last week that healthcare workers had no symptoms even if the infection was confirmed. I issued an order to work in the medical field as it is.
This is in line with the guidelines of the CDC = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but on-site healthcare professionals are strongly opposed.
A representative of the local nurses' association complains, "We have been working since the beginning of the pandemic and are on the verge of collapse both physically and mentally."
On top of that, asymptomatic medical workers may infect colleagues and family members and spread to other people, so we are seeking fundamental measures.
