#coronavirus, seclusion day 52
Existen métodos alternativos a la
mera reducción de los desplazamientos y de la atención. Se podría articular un
sistema de asistencia combinado, telemático para los pacientes que no viven
solos o tienen ayuda familiar, y de atención domiciliaria, con desplazamiento
de una misma unidad asistencial a un mismo domicilio y tests frecuentes en los
casos más extremos (por ejemplo, mayores que viven solos y no saben usar
tecnología).
Cada día sin ejercicio se asocia
a una pérdida hasta del uno por ciento de la masa muscular. Cada día de
aislamiento disminuye la estimulación y aumenta el deterioro cognitivo. Hemos
dejado morir a la generación del sacrificio por todos. Han muerto de COVID-19
antes y si no actuamos, morirán de sedentarismo después. Actuemos. Es de justicia.

COVID-19 has prompted logical restrictions to traditional healthcare of vulnerable groups like the elderly, the dependents, the disable, and patients with other underlying pathologies. As a rule, transfer to assistance centers is limited, or even restricted to emergencies, which might derive in lack of necessary assistance. We can leave it as it is, or we can, once and for all, play fair and give the people who have given so much deserved recognition and care.
There are alternatives to counter transfer and healthcare cuts. We could establish a combined system of assistance, telematics for patients that are not alone or have family help, and home care, with a same mobile unit to a same patient and sufficient tests, in the most extreme cases (the dependents and the elderly that are alone and know not how to use digital technology).
You could put in English something like:
ReplyDeleteGovernments should help older people when they are sick. They worked their whole lives and paid taxes. It is time to help them . Nurses and doctors should go home.
I absolutely agree.
