American people more like a severe flu season"
US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said the United States is
in “active containment mode” and is using isolation units for positive
coronavirus patients to contain spread.
This morning, speaking with the House Ways & Means Committee about the 2021
budget, Azar said currently, when a patient tests positive, they go into an
“Ebola-like isolation unit” adding “that is not what’s indicated
medically for these individuals.”
“It's really important we correct this impression that it will require
this massive hospital isolation for normal patients,” Azar said. “If we
end up having broader spread, it’ll be a much more common approach. As [CDC
’s Principal Deputy Director Dr. Anne] Schuchat called it, it’ll look and
feel to the American people more like a severe flu season, in terms of the
interventions and approaches you see.”
Azar said most people who get coronavirus will have mild to moderate
symptoms and will be able to stay home, treating it like the severe flu or
cold. | a********r
