The Admiral's experience reminds me that hospitals have been a key source of spread.
I don't wonder if:
A) All testing of persons who either asymptomatic or have minor symptoms should be taken completely out of hospitals; and those who perform said tests (off-site) should be precludes from also working in the hospital setting.
B) If ER waiting rooms shouldn't start by assuming you have Covid and keeping any patients to the extent practical in isolation until proven otherwise.
C) That we shouldn't moving to create far more negative-pressure rooms both in the ER and in the main hospital, to keep people properly isolated, particularly those that are elderly or immune-compromised.
I'm not indicting the sector; or those who manage it, in what has surely been a very challenging year. ( I know some of these folks personally, and can attest to as much).
But I feel as though the in-hospital spread rates simply aren't acceptable; and if what we're doing isn't working, we ought to try something else.
