Fifteen states have moved to shield nursing homes from lawsuits, according to Modern Healthcare.
根据《现代医疗保健》,15个州已经采取行动保护养老院免受诉讼。
Nursing home residents were among the first known cases of Covid-19 in the US. In mid-February in suburban Kirkland, Washington, 80 of 130 residents in one facility were sickened by an unknown respiratory illness, later identified as Covid-19.
美国第一批已知的部分新冠确诊病例就出现在养老院。2月中旬,在华盛顿州柯克兰的郊区,一家养老院内130名老人中有80人感染了一种未知的呼吸道疾病,之后被确诊为新冠肺炎。
Statistics from Kirkland now appear to tell the national story. Of 129 staff members, visitors and residents who got sick, all but one of the 22 who died were older residents, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
来自柯克兰的统计数字现在似乎说明了美国的情况。根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据,在129名员工、到访者和生病的老人中,22名死者中除了一人以外,其他都是年龄较大的老人。
By early March, most Covid-19 deaths in the US could still be traced to Kirkland.
截至3月初,美国大多数新冠肺炎死亡病例仍可追溯至柯克兰。
“One thing stands out as the virus spreads throughout the United States: nursing homes and other long-term care facilities are ground zero,” wrote Dr Tom Frieden, the former head of the CDC, for cnn on 8 March.
