Wuhan's mandatory centralized quarantine of mildly symptomatic patients is not primarily a cure but a quarantine to prevent them from re-infecting others. And it is this measure that is effective. Relying on the so-called family doctor measures will make it difficult to prevent infecting family members and others. The U.S. flu kills 10,000 to 20,000 people a year, mainly not someone who doesn't care, but doesn't have the financial strength not to go to work to earn money to support their families.
Europe and the United States family doctor system in the epidemic played an important role, the United States epidemic so heavy, did not occur medical resources squeeze, feel this statement strange, the epidemic control ineffective, the deaths of unabated, but also in the foreign pandering it! According to this logic, Africa is so poor, are not crowded out of the hotel, indicating that Africa has enough food ah, how a year will starve to death so many people?
Home? What about family members, who are infected without a diagnosis and then infect others? Family doctor care? Doctor? Do they see patients or take care of them? Seems like nurses are the ones who can actually take care of patients, right? Doctors and nurses are two professions and are not replaceable! If they're taking such good care of them, what's with the millions? Are they all blessed by Jesus and not contagious?
1. The mortality rate of the new coronavirus in the US is relatively high 2. US agencies count at least 35% of people being treated at home 3. The healthcare system was experiencing a brief collapse at the beginning of the US outbreak. (Wuhan did the same thing.) The US healthcare system is relatively advanced, but there is an upper limit. 4. The first generation of the virus, and the early stage of the virus is not understood, so there is a high lethality. After three generations of the virus, the mortality rate has been greatly reduced. (For reference, the mortality rate of new crowns in many domestic provinces is close to 0.) Most of them are minor diseases that do not require hospitalization.
Family doctors, as part of the U.S. health care system, embody part of the U.S. social security system (including health care, pensions, etc. ....) The fact that the U.S. is doing so poorly in this outbreak shows that there are major problems with the U.S. society's health care system and the country's ability to deal with crises, and even if the U.S. family doctor, as a small part of the composition, doesn't have to take the blame for it, it doesn't cover up the failures of the U.S. health care system as a whole! From the initial sealing off of the city for dragging to the current problems with wearing masks and the initial testing costing $3500! To the list of huge treatment bills (hundreds of thousands of dollars) that people are now receiving! And finally there are many more that simply cannot be dealt with! America as a developed state of India is inevitably in decline! Anyone who has experienced the US healthcare system misses the crowded but at least efficient experience of seeing a doctor at home! Then again with so many cases in the US, it should be noted that in the early days there were a lot of middle aged and older people so the mortality rate was higher!
Recently the death rate is indeed declining, because it is mainly young people who have contracted the disease, predominantly with minor illnesses, most of them are at home in self-isolation waiting for recovery, and the proportion of critically ill is low, so medical resources have not collapsed! Even the US Secretary of State has come out and said that the recent predominantly young patients is good news and most will heal themselves! The problem in the U.S. is that they are doing a poor job of wearing masks and keeping a social distance, and the President has been agitating for a return to work, so the people are a bit disoriented, and the epidemic in the U.S. can't be estimated at this rate! Family doctors, that is, general practitioners, the role is very limited, colds and fevers such as minor illnesses can be asked and prescribed medication, the rest will have to go to a specialist.
Seeing a specialist may make you make another appointment for a checkup, possibly not on the same day or even in the same clinic. Wait for the test results to come back and see the specialist again. Here you have to make an appointment for every medical service, as little as a few days, as much as two or three weeks, and even with company-provided health insurance, there is a certain copay or deductible each time, ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred dollars. And that's just the process of seeking treatment for minor ailments. The advantage of the United States is the patent of drugs and medical equipment per capita, but the experience, level and efficiency of the front-line doctors are genuinely inferior to the tertiary hospitals in large and medium-sized cities in China. After all, they are exposed to too few cases and difficult cases each year than the domestic. Many friends living in the U.S. have a habit of asking domestic relatives and friends to find a domestic doctor to help them look at the film before they can rest assured. The U.S. health care system has its own rationale for existing in the country, but it is definitely not superior or more favorable than the domestic.
Just in the clinic to see the doctor to prescribe, general common diseases they can take care of, encounter serious point to be referred to a full-time doctor, they have no authority to deal with. These full-time doctors may be hospitals or specialized clinics. Therefore, the situation in New Guan is as some netizens said, the general symptoms at home to recuperate, the serious ones go to the hospital, the role of the family doctor here is only to inform the patient of the light at home, the serious ones go to the hospital and this kind of advice. In addition, critical care does not need to go through the family doctor, and they do not have the authority to implement medical treatment, the patient must go directly to the hospital.
The US is actually the most realistic, the vast majority of deaths are the penniless, aged ones who are a liability to the country, and those elites can't be too happy right now, and once the epidemic is over, the US will be lighter and more energized, so in a few decades there will definitely be a top-secret dossier leaking out the contents of meetings at the elite level.
From an economics standpoint, it's good for the economy to let those with bad resistance die. That's what Trump and his supporters want. His supporters are the vast middle class who pay taxes to pay for health care. So obviously, he'll be re-elected.
Now it's a case of not being able to follow China's example of testing all and admitting all. How many square pods would have to be built if all of them tested positive for the over 10 million existing people? Not to mention the fact that most American hospitals are private, how much money can the government subsidize the hospitals? You're not like China, where most hospitals are public, and the state wants you to treat them.
