China Covid surge: Ambulances turned away as ICUs packed, patients lying on hospital floors without oxygen, electricity

Firstpost  

Chief medical officer of a private hospital in Beijing Sonia Jutard-Bourreau saying that most of the patients who are getting infected of Covid are not vaccinated Beijing: China’s Covid situation is turning grim with patients lying untreated on hospital benches and floors, and ambulances being turned away as ICUs overcrowd. ‘Never seen anything like this’ A report by news agency Reuters quoted Beijing-based doctor Howard Bernstein describing the Covid situation in China, saying he never seen anything worse like this in more than three decades. “The hospital is just overwhelmed from top to bottom,” the report quoted Bernstein said, adding, “The ICU is full, as are the emergency department, the fever clinic and other wards.” Don’t Miss: China says producing 60 million antigen test kits per day, but then why aren’t people getting them? ‘We were unprepared for this’ Dr Howard Bernstein said, “The biggest challenge, honestly, is I think we were just unprepared for this.” The report quoted chief medical officer of a private hospital in Beijing Sonia Jutard-Bourreau saying that most of the patients who are getting infected of Covid are not vaccinated.
