Patients enter clinics in dr. Melissa Marshall in Northern California with revealing symptoms. They’re having trouble breathing. This can even cause harm when inhaling. They have a cough and a sore throat.
A case of COVID-19? Not so fast. This is the land of wildfires.
Along the West Coast, hospitals and fitness services report an influx of patients with disorders most likely similar to smoke inhalation. While fires are largely out of control amid dry heat and strong winds, smoke and ash swell and settle in coastal spaces. like San Francisco and villages many miles inland, making the sky orange or gray and even making breathing difficult.
But that, Marshall said, is just one component of the challenge. Facilities that no longer have non-public protective devices and control devices will first have to exclude COVID-19 in these patients, as many of the symptoms they provide are the same as those caused by the virus.
“Clearly, the symptoms overlap,” said Marshall, ceo of CommuniCare, a set of six clinics in Yolo County, near Sacramento, which primarily treats patients with insufficient and unsafe insurance. “Every time someone has some of these symptoms, we ask ourselves, “Is this a COVID?”In the end, clinically speaking, I need to rule out the virus. “

The protocol is to treat symptoms, regardless of their cause, while it is recommended that the patient be quarantined until the effects of the virus return, he said.
It is a scene that takes place in many hospitals: administrators and doctors, who are perfectly adapted to COVID-19’s ability to spread and wreak havoc, will simply not accept a threat when they recognize the symptoms that would possibly emanate from the virus.
“We have noticed an increase in the number of patients rising to the emergency branch due to respiratory distress,” dr. Nanette Mickiewicz, president and executive director of the Dominican Hospital of Santa Cruz. “As this can also be a symptom of COVID- On November 19, we treat those patients as we would with anyone under coronavirus research until we can rule them out through our screening process. “During the evaluation, more specific symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever, would appear.
For Dominican workers, the factor temporarily crowned the list: Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties suffered the brunt of the fires at the CZU Lightning Complex, which as of September 10 burned more than 86,000 acres, destroyed 1,100 structures and threatened more than 7,600. Nearly a month after they started, about 84% of the fires were controlled, however, thousands of people remained evacuated.
Dominican, a dignified health hospital, is “open and offers care,” Mickiewicz said. Several built outdoor raised tents serve as an extension of the emergency room waiting room. They are also used to satisfy what has become a necessity -They have function: separate those who have symptoms of COVID-19 from those who do not.
At the two Solano County hospitals running through NorthBay Healthcare, the trajectory of some of the wildfires led officials to review their evacuation procedures, spokesman Steve Huddleston said. Eventually, they moved away from the desire to evacuate the patients and came in new with COVID. as symptoms that can actually come from smoke inhalation.
Huddleston stated that NorthBay’s admission procedure “requires that he be treated with COVID characteristics as [a] patient under COVID research, meaning they are separated, reviewed and controlled by special PPE personnel. “In any of the hospitals, which so far have only treated about two hundred instances of COVID, the protocol is well established.
California hospitals, not besyed in most cases, face multiple disorders they can regularly face only sporadically. In Napa County, Adventist Health St. After 10 days of closure, the hospital was allowed to reopen when evacuation orders were lifted, as the chimney site had been controlled at some distance.
Wildfires also wreak non-public havoc on health care workers: CommuniCare Marshall lost his family’s home in rural winters, as well as 20 acres of olive trees and other surrounding plantations, the August 19 fires that swept through Solano County.
“They called it a ‘firenado,'” Marshall said, an obvious confluence of three fires has been out of control, destroying thousands of acres. With her circle of relatives and transitory accommodation arranged through a friend, she returned to work. clinics interact with a very vulnerable population,” he said, “and this is a critical time for them. “
As he reflected on how his circle of relatives would be reconstructed, the CEO faced another immediate crisis: the clinic’s material shortage. Last month, CommuniCare manufactured 19 COVID control kits and ran out of samples “that we were literally converting our veterinary friends for reinforcements,” the doctor said. The effects of the clinic’s COVID control took approximately two weeks to be discharged from an overworked outdoor lab, making the search for touch almost useless.
These conditions have been resolved, at least temporarily, Marshall said, but while the West Coast is the time of year most harmful to wildfires, from September to December, there is another complication for fitness service providers: the flu season.
The southern hemisphere, whose flu patterns our summer months sometimes expect what will happen in the United States, has had very little of the disease this year, probably due to limited travel, social distance, and face masks, but it’s too soon for Know what the flu season will mean in the United States.
“You can start seeing flu cases in late October,” Marshall said, “and the truth is that this will bring a number of features that can also be symptomatic coVID. And nothing changes: you have to exclude it, just because of the risk. »
