Medical workers treat coronavirus patients in the isolated intensive care unit at a hospital in Wuhan.
The medical experts want to avoid that happening elsewhere and are using social media to tell people, most of whom are not in danger of dying from coronavirus, to #FlattenTheCurve. “Every day we can slow down the epidemic is another day hospitals can prepare themselves for cases,” World Health Organization head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said on several occasions.The progression of infection – known at an epidemic curve – unfolds in three phases corresponding to the rise, peak and decline in the number of cases.“The longer we can stay in Phase One, the better we can prepare Phase Two,” said Siouxsie Wiles, an associate professor at the University of Auckland.
“Because of these double whammy – more work with less health workers – patients with serious illnesses will no longer be treated as quickly, and stand a higher risk of dying,” said Devos. “If someone between 80 and 95 has serious respiratory failure, it is likely that we won’t be able to follow up.”Doctors and health officials around the world have taken to Facebook and Twitter to promote daily habits that can hold infection rates down, using the hashtag #FlattenTheCurve.
