Recently, there have been confirmed cases in a number of institutions, and some residents have been sent to AWE for isolation.

She Daming, a specialist in geriatrics, pointed out in a radio program today (28th) that he is in favor of the in-situ quarantine of residents. Because of the experience of the fifth wave of the epidemic, the medical system collapsed at that time, but at present, we should try not to evacuate the elderly, and the in-situ care will be better. Otherwise, it will be sad to repeat the same mistakes.

At present, there are many doctors who support them, and the vaccination rate has been improved. In addition, many elderly people have been infected with the virus, so the overall immunity of the institution is higher than that of the previous wave. powerful.


She Daming pointed out that with reference to the fifth wave of the epidemic, many residents were sent to AsiaWorld-Expo or hospitals, causing the medical system to collapse, and those in need were not admitted to the hospital, resulting in a high mortality rate and a terrible situation.

Based on the previous experience, he believes that this time, the elderly should not be moved away as much as possible, and the care at the original site will be better.

Unfamiliar environment is easy to have emotional problems She Daming: An elderly man with a black ceiling is very surprised

She Daming also pointed out that many elderly people feel desolate after being transported to Asia World Expo. In an unfamiliar environment, food and caregivers are different. They are prone to anxiety and emotional problems. The elderly are also more difficult during transportation, so there are more patients. For the residents, there will be more pressure.

Although the manpower and caring environment in the AWE may have been greatly improved, he said that the main consideration is not the manpower issue, but from the perspective of the elderly. After the elderly go to the AWE, they will be arranged to sleep in the lobby: "The ceiling is black, and the old man was so shocked that he thought he was going to hell for a long time."

If the elderly are sent to the AWE again, the AWE will be full of sunlight and the surrounding area will be blocked... The resources will be used indiscriminately, and the elderly will be laborious and completely useless.
