Chinese doctors: These are the mistakes doctors are making in Europe, which we first made in Wuhan.

As the number of new corruption cases in Europe is already eclipseing them in China, doctors in Wuhan the site where the first pathogen appeared say they are seeing disturbing signs of repeating mistakes.

Prior to them is insufficient protection of medical personnel, which has led to large numbers of infection between doctors and nurses.

In Wuhan, the lack of knowledge of the disease resulted in a lack of protective equipment in the first few weeks, and thousands of health workers were infected during patient treatment. 46 of them died.

Our European <x0).Colegs are becoming infected with the disease in their daily work, and the size is similar to those of the early situation in Vuhan”, said Wu Dong, gastro-enterology professor at Beijing University Hospital. Wu spoke yesterday from Wuhan with reporters from Beijing about the situation, along with three senior Chinese doctors. “must protect medical staff”, he stressed.

The crisis is showing its implications in Western countries as from Italy to the US, shortages are being reported in protective devices such as masks as large numbers of patients are dominated by doctors and nurses.

Du Bin, director of intensive care in Beijing, said that in Vuhan, ear doctors, noses, eye throats were severely infected by their colleagues.

The doctors have had close contact with patients so they're easily infected. It is important that doctors be educated to defend themselves”, he said.

The epidemic has sickened 170,000 people worldwide and killed 7,000. It has slowed in China, with only 21 new cases Tuesday, but has accelerated to Europe and the US.

In China the population is slowly returning to daily activity, but the death of the popular doctor Lee Wenliang has been the main source of anger for treating the disease. The 34-year-old was among the first alarmists for the disease in December, but was then dismissed and sanctioned by authorities.

Chinese doctors demand that testing be given priority because unlike the 2003 pandemic caused by SARS, the coronary gives only mild symptoms or no initial symptoms to the infected, who unwittingly transmit them to others. Giving tests with nucleic acids that identify it is essential, doctors say. /The Eye
