Italy and other European countries don't have bad medical care, but why do they have high mortality rates in epidemics?

When the highly contagious new coronavirus is raging around the world, if the relevant countries do not take effective measures to block the virus, even if the level of medical care is super high, it is not helpful, especially this epidemic is different from many previous infectious diseases, the virus has a relatively long incubation period, and there are even a lot of asymptomatic infected, which leads to a significantly increased difficulty in prevention and control,

.





This is the first time that we've seen an outbreak of the disease, and we've seen a lot of it, but it's not the first time that we've seen an outbreak of the disease, and it's not the first time that we've seen it, and it's not the first time that we've seen it.

The level of medical care is not poor for the treatment of disease in the conventional health model, the new coronavirus infection cases are beyond the conventional increase in the original health care system is naturally unable to afford, once the patient does not get timely treatment, it will be the formation of nosocomial infections in hospitals within the chain of transmission , coupled with the serious shortage of medical equipment, including ventilators, and confirmed patients In most cases, oxygen therapy is required, and in the absence of life-supporting treatment, the mortality rate is bound to remain high, so there will be a vicious circle of more confirmed cases and more deaths, and I believe that the current countries such as Italy and Spain have a deep understanding of this.

In addition, the aging of the Italian population is a serious phenomenon, but also led to the high mortality pressure during the epidemic, with the SARS more than a decade ago, the main attack on the young people, the new crown of pneumonia cases in the elderly accounted for a larger proportion, coupled with this part of the population originally have a basic disease, or even suffer from more than one kind of basic disease, in the health care resources have been seriously overdrawn, this part of the immune system, the patient's health care system is not a good idea. In the case of a serious overdraft of medical resources, this part of the weak immunity of the diagnosed patients will naturally be very difficult to escape.

From this reference, we can find that Italy and other European countries, I believe that the high level of medical care is well known, but in the face of this epidemic, we have neglected to face the infectious forces and susceptible populations of the special situation, in such an objective background, the lack of protective materials, respiratory and other rescue setups are seriously insufficient, and the elderly's basic illnesses will become the key conditions of the mortality rate continues to go up, while the early attention is not enough to lead to the timing of the treatment. The lack of attention to the problem has led to a delay in treatment, which has also exacerbated the severity of the mortality surge.
