8. Establish Reporting within Healthcare Facilities and to Public Health
Authorities
Develop systems and policies that quickly warn key facilities personnel
including infection control, health care epidemiology, facility leadership,
occupational health, clinical laboratory, and front-line staff regarding Covid-
19 patients known or suspected (i.e., PUI). Communicate with public health
agencies and cooperate. Notify patients with known or suspected Covid-19
(i.e., PUI) immediately by the State or local public health authorities.
Facilities will appoint specific individuals who are responsible for interacting
with public health officials and disseminating information to HCP within the
health care facility.
CONCLUSION
When China controls the virus, and outbreaks in other countries don't blow
up and spread to more populations, we might see the case count begin to fall
and the emergency for public health end. Yet there are already so many cases
across China, as well as the very real possibility that in countries with poor
health systems, the virus is spreading, undetected, that the likelihood of
containment is looking less likely by the day.
Unless 2019nCoV is not included, "if it continues to accelerate, we may very
well encounter a pandemic. That will mean more sicknesses and deaths not
only in China, but also in other countries around the world, as cases expand
to full-blown outbreaks from one-off travelers or small clusters. Therefore,
public health officials should move from trying to contain the virus to
minimizing its effects — building hospitals to isolate and care for patients,
making recommendations for "social distancing" (such as canceling public
events), and designing experimental procedures for the many people who
may need hospital care.
But again, even though this virus is spreading all over the world— it may not
be very lethal. In the best-case scenario, this epidemic may look more like
swine flu H1N1 than either SARS or Spanish flu. Once H1N1 was first
identified in 2009 and spread across the globe, major concerns about its
lethality were expressed. US schools closed, North American citizens
quarantined as they landed in other countries, and flights cancelled. Not only
did those steps fail to contain the virus, it turned out that H1N1 wasn't
dangerous enough.
There are a few approaches that could stop this outbreak. Perhaps public
health initiatives — rapidly reporting cases, insulating infected people — will
stop this corona virus from spreading. Because this is a zoonotic disease
which originated from an animal, it would also help to find and remove the
source. Or perhaps a vaccine or antiviral will be discovered quickly to
counter a larger outbreak (though that would probably take years). Perhaps
the coming warmer weather seasons will play a role in slowing down the
virus, at least. Corona viruses are viruses from winter time. Such viruses do
not spread when the weather is warm and damp as well as when the weather
is cold and dry.
There's eventually the risk that the virus will actually die out. The outbreaks
of illness are kind of like flames. The Fire is the Virus. The power is
vulnerable people. Finally, if it runs out of kindling, a fire burns itself out. An
outbreak of the virus will end when it starts finding people susceptible to
infection.
