Interesting but it’s also interesting what diseases do make the list.
Contact HCID:
Argentine haemorrhagic fever (Junin virus)
Bolivian haemorrhagic fever (Machupo virus)
Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF)
Ebola virus disease (EVD)
Lassa fever
Lujo virus disease
Marburg virus disease (MVD)
Severe fever with thrombocytopaenia syndrome (SFTS)
Airborne HCID:
Andes virus infection (hantavirus)
Avian influenza A H7N9 and H5N1
Avian influenza A H5N6 and H7N7
Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)
Monkeypox
Nipah virus infection
Pneumonic plague (Yersinia pestis)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)*
Short and very nasty list.
Under the laws for HCID, these are the only treatment centers. How can they handle CV patients at only these 2 locations. They realize it’s serious, but not like Ebola and can losen the legal jargon in order to treat at ALL medical facilities as they/we are in very contagious pandemic.
There are 2 principal Contact HCID Treatment Centres in England:
the Royal Free London High Level Isolation Unit (HLIU)
the Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary HLIU.
Further support for managing confirmed contact HCID cases is provided by the Royal Liverpool Hospital and the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield.
But it looks like they now beieve that most can now be treated with normal protocol.
Last time needing to say it.
