To save money the NHS have large wards.....

However, in USA, all new hospitals, and many older ones are converted to single patient wards.

This reduces cross infection tremendously.

Also strict hand washing and disinfection.

There is also a solid state anti-bacterial coating that can be applied to glass, (invented in Japan) and now widely used in US hospitals.

I heard on a talk show recently that the UK hospitals TURN OVER THE SHEETS, in other words — use the same bedsheets TWICE, when one patient leaves & another enters to use that hospital bed, in order to save public funds on laundry costs.

I wish I could find a news report documenting this, it certainly would explain the superbug outbreak, Yuck.

“Thanks, govt/socialism”
