It's well-known that corona viruses wipe out ICU staff, so there's really nothing to hide.
It was reported with SARS-1 (2002/2003) in Toronto and S. Korea, and probably China.
IIRC, with SARS-2, it was a major concern in Italian and US hospitals.
- robocat 7y agoThe most interesting parts of the article to me were: 1. They had enough PPE (quite possible - the first place hit should have plenty available) 2. No staff caught the virus (this seems unlikely - even with perfect protection at work, some should have caught it at home?)
- Gibbon1 7y agoOne of the things I read was the Chinese isolated doctors and nurses working with COVID19 patients.
- redis_mlc 7y agoIf you read the article carefully and look at the pictures, they had issues. One picture shows a doctor wearing plastic shopping bags over their shoes. Also, the previous staff did get ill, partly because of changing in the dark in a small room. The current staff fixed the lighting and added mirrors. Contamination from dressing and undressing scrubs was also a problem in Toronto hospitals with SARS-1.
