隔离区误放阳性病人,发布会临时取消,停更全国确诊数!美国疾控中心这波操作惹众怒

据央视新闻报道,当地时间3月3日,美国疾控中心(CDC)宣布停止公布全国检测人数以及检测结果为阳性的人数。
CDC给出的理由是,随着各州进行更多测试,相关确诊数据由各州统计,全国数据不具代表性。
根据CDC网页3月4日的数据,目前全美的确诊感染者为80人,但是美国媒体报道显示,美国确诊感染者已经达到至少137人,死亡11例。
此外,在当地时间3月4日中午,美疾控中心在最后一刻临时取消了原定召开的疫情发布会,引发了美国媒体记者的强烈不满。

另外在上周六(29日)美国疾控中心人员将一位妇女从德州隔离区释放回家,此后该妇女病毒检测呈阳性,也引发了当时市政府官员的不满。
当地时间4日,美国加州宣布进入紧急状态。
美疾控中心取消发布会
美国疾控中心此前宣布不再统一公布全美国的确诊总人数,在各州或地方实验室检测出阳性的患者必须等待CDC确认。而CDC将很多尚待确诊的病例归到“推定阳性”一类,不纳入全国数字,不过规定相关保险机构必须将“推定阳性”病例添加到其日常理赔中。
CDC网站显示,目前美国能够确诊的病例中,有48人是从中国武汉和钻石公主号游轮撤离的美国公民。此外美国至少有17例旅行相关感染,其中12例确诊,5例为“推定阳性”。
值得警惕的是,CDC报告有26例来自人传人(通过互动接触),其中4例已确认,22例为“推定阳性”。很多美国媒体担心社区传播在美国快速增长的趋势。

另据CNBC等报道,美国疾控中心突然推迟了原定于3月4日中午12:15召开的媒体发布会。这一决定是在最后一刻宣布的,CDC也没有进行任何解释。
按照原先安排,CDC将在这次发布会上讨论在上周末确认的加利福尼亚州和华盛顿州的新病例,以及美国在西雅图以外的头两例死亡病例。
不过当记者们准备参加线上发布会时,却被运营商告知“此连线已被取消,将重新安排,请断开该电话的连接。”
加州进入紧急状态
据美国媒体报道,由于受到新冠病毒威胁,美国加州州长于当地时间4日宣布该州进入紧急状态。
加州目前是全美第三个宣布进入紧急状态的州,此前华盛顿州和佛罗里达州已宣布进入紧急状态。
据央视新闻报道,当地时间3月4日,美国加州宣布该州出现首例新冠肺炎患者死亡病例,美国死亡人数达到11人。美国加州普莱塞县的卫生部门官员称死者是一位有潜在健康问题的老年人。
据悉,这位老人在2月11日至21日间乘坐从旧金山到墨西哥的“公主”号邮轮。相关机构正在联系和寻找在这次旅行中与死者有接触和潜在感染风险的人。2月27日,该病患入院就医时与之有接触的10名医护和5名急救人员也都处于隔离观察中。
当地时间3月4日下午,纽约州州长科莫宣布,当天纽约州再确诊5人。目前纽约州已确诊新冠病毒感染者人数已上升至11人。

科莫表示,新确诊人员与纽约州第2例韦斯特切斯特郡感染者(下称2号感染者)关系密切。一与该感染者接触者及其妻子、2个儿子和1个女儿均被确诊。
科莫称,除了新检测出的5人外,目前还有一名与2号感染者联系紧密的人正在接受检测。
在当天早上,纽约州刚宣布确诊4例感染者,亦为2号感染者家人,包括其妻子、20岁儿子和14岁的女儿。
2号感染者为50多岁律师,在3月2日确诊,目前在医院接受治疗,病情严重。其律所接触者也在接受病毒检测。该名男子传染源未知,被视为“社区传播”。
据美国华盛顿州金县卫生部网站证实,该县已确认第10例新冠肺炎死亡病例,所有华盛顿州死亡病例均来自金县的同一家养老院。
据分析称,鉴于美国当前的检测及统计水平,出自该养老院的新冠肺炎死亡病例还有可能增加。
隔离区放走病人,后收到阳性检测报告
近日,美国得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市的官员表示,美国疾控中心的工作人员错误地从该州的隔离区释放了一名妇女,而这名妇女的病毒检测呈阳性。这种工作失误引起当地民众和市政府官员的不满。
这名妇女是从武汉撤离并被安置在圣安东尼奥-拉克兰联合基地的91名美国人之一。按照规定,她必须完成为期14天的联邦检疫隔离流程。
圣安东尼奥市长罗恩·尼伦贝格表示,这名妇女两次检测出新的冠状病毒阴性,并于上周六被美国疾控中心的工作人员释放。尼尔伯格在新闻发布会上对记者表示:“不幸的是,在她被释放之后,美国疾控中心收到了另一项测试的结果,显示该妇女对导致COVID-19的病毒检测呈阳性。”
美国的检测手段滞后,也引发媒体的批评。彭博社认为,相比韩国等地的快速检测收治,美国落后的检测手段给防疫工作带来了极大的隐忧。
83亿美元抗疫基金获众议院通过
北京时间3月5日上午,据外媒报道,美国众议院通过了一项约83亿美元的紧急支出计划,用于抗击冠状病毒疫情的爆发。这项提案将提交给参议院投票。
该提案提供30多亿美元用于开发冠状病毒治疗方法,并为美国疾控中心拨款22亿美元,用于疫情控制以及其他措施。美国媒体预计,参议院本周可能也会通过这项提案。根据这项提案,超过10亿美元将用于海外防疫,2000万美元将用于向美国小企业提供贷款的管理费用。

这项由共和党和民主党的高层人士共同起草的提案,为期不到两周的谈判画上了句号。谈判开始时,白宫表示计划拿出约25亿美元用于抗击新冠疫情,议员们认为这个数字太低了。总统特朗普随后表示,他将签署国会批准的任何方案。
全球经济前景蒙阴影
国际货币基金组织(IMF)则认为,由于在美国等地区冠状病毒的传播未被完全检测发现,全球经济前景存在“更可怕的危机”。IMF董事吉尔吉耶娃说,目前很难预测疫情对经济的影响,而且只要疫情持续时间未知,全球经济的不确定性就仍然很高。
她补充说,IMF相当确信,今年的全球经济增长将慢于2019年同期。
3月4日,世界卫生组织总干事谭塞德表示,过去24小时内,中国境外的新增确诊病例数几乎是中国国内病例的9倍。
受疫情影响,原定4月上映的007系列最新电影将被推迟到11月上映。米高梅和环球影业的发行商和制片人们表示在“仔细考虑并全面评估了全球市场状况之后”做出了这一决定。
The release of positive patients in the quarantine area was temporarily cancelled, and the number of confirmed diagnoses nationwide was stopped! U.S. Centers for Disease Control's operation angers everyone
Daily economic news
03-05 13:28
According to CCTV news reports, on March 3, local time, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that it would stop publishing the number of people tested nationwide and the number of people who tested positive.
The reason given by the CDC is that as more tests are conducted in each state, relevant confirmed diagnosis data are counted by each state, and the national data are not representative.
According to data from the CDC website on March 4, there are currently 80 confirmed infections in the United States, but US media reports show that the number of confirmed infections in the United States has reached at least 137, with 11 deaths.
In addition, at noon on March 4, local time, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention temporarily cancelled the scheduled outbreak briefing at the last minute, which caused strong dissatisfaction among US media reporters.

In addition, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a woman from the Texas quarantine home on Saturday (29th). Since then, the woman has tested positive for the virus, which has also aroused the dissatisfaction of city officials at the time.
On the 4th local time, California announced a state of emergency.
CDC cancels press conference
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has previously announced that it will no longer announce the total number of confirmed diagnoses across the United States. Patients who test positive in state or local laboratories must wait for CDC confirmation. The CDC classifies many cases that are yet to be diagnosed as "presumed positive" and does not include national figures, but stipulates that relevant insurance institutions must add "presumed positive" cases to their daily claims.
The CDC website shows that of the currently confirmed cases in the United States, 48 are US citizens who have evacuated from Wuhan, China, and the Diamond Princess cruise ship. In addition, there were at least 17 travel-related infections in the United States, of which 12 were confirmed and 5 were "presumed positive."
It is worth noting that the CDC reported 26 cases from person to person (through interactive contact), of which 4 cases have been confirmed and 22 cases are "presumed positive". Many American media are concerned about the rapid growth of community communication in the United States.

According to CNBC and other reports, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suddenly postponed a media conference originally scheduled to be held at 12:15 noon on March 4. The decision was announced at the last minute, and the CDC did not provide any explanation.
As originally planned, the CDC will discuss new cases confirmed in California and Washington last weekend, as well as the first two deaths in the United States outside Seattle.
However, when reporters were preparing to participate in the online press conference, they were told by the operator that "this connection has been cancelled and will be rescheduled. Please disconnect the phone."
California enters state of emergency
According to US media reports, due to the threat of the new crown virus, the governor of California announced on the 4th local time that the state has entered a state of emergency.
California is currently the third state in the United States to declare a state of emergency, after Washington and Florida have declared states of emergency.
According to CCTV news reports, on March 4, local time, California announced that the state had the first case of death from patients with new coronary pneumonia, with 11 deaths in the United States. Health department officials in Placer County, California, said the deceased was an elderly person with potential health problems.
It is reported that the old man took the "Princess" cruise from San Francisco to Mexico from February 11 to 21. Relevant agencies are contacting and looking for people who had contact with the deceased and the potential for infection during this trip. On February 27, the 10 medical staff and 5 first-aid personnel who came into contact with the patient when they were admitted to the hospital were also in isolation for observation.
In the afternoon of March 4, local time, Governor Cuomo of New York State announced that 5 people were diagnosed in New York State that day. The number of people who have been diagnosed with new coronavirus infection in New York State has risen to 11.

Como said the newly diagnosed person is closely related to New York State's second Westchester County infected person (hereinafter referred to as the "No. 2 infected person"). A contact person with the infection, his wife, two sons and a daughter were diagnosed.
Como said that in addition to the five newly detected people, there is currently another person who is in close contact with the number 2 infected person being tested.
That morning, New York State just announced the diagnosis of 4 cases of infection. They were also the family members of No. 2 infection, including his wife, 20-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter.
The infected person No. 2 was a lawyer in his 50s. He was diagnosed on March 2 and is currently receiving treatment in a hospital with a serious condition. Contacts at its law firms are also being tested for viruses. The source of the man's infection is unknown and is considered "community transmission."
According to the website of the King County Health Department in Washington State, the county has confirmed the 10th death case of new coronary pneumonia, and all deaths in Washington state come from the same nursing home in King County.
According to analysis, given the current level of detection and statistics in the United States, deaths from new coronary pneumonia from this nursing home are likely to increase.
Isolate patient in isolation area and receive positive test report
Recently, officials in San Antonio, Texas, said that the staff of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had mistakenly released a woman from the state's quarantine area, and the woman tested positive for the virus. This kind of work error caused dissatisfaction among local people and city government officials.
The woman was one of 91 Americans who had evacuated from Wuhan and were housed at the joint San Antonio-Lacran base. According to regulations, she must complete a 14-day federal quarantine process.
San Antonio Mayor Ron Nellenberg said the woman had twice tested negative for the new coronavirus and was released by staff of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Saturday. Neilberg told reporters at the press conference: "Unfortunately, after her release, the CDC received the results of another test showing that the woman tested positive for the virus that caused COVID-19 . "
Lagging detection methods in the United States have also sparked criticism from the media. Bloomberg believes that compared with the rapid detection and treatment in South Korea and other places, the US's backward detection methods have brought great hidden dangers to epidemic prevention.
$ 8.3 billion anti-epidemic fund approved by the House of Representatives
On the morning of March 5, Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, the US House of Representatives approved an emergency spending plan of about $ 8.3 billion to fight the outbreak of the coronavirus. The proposal will be submitted to the Senate to vote.
The proposal provides more than $ 3 billion for the development of a coronavirus treatment and a $ 2.2 billion grant for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for outbreak control and other measures. American media expect that the Senate may also pass this proposal this week. According to this proposal, more than $ 1 billion will be used for overseas epidemic prevention, and $ 20 million will be used to provide management fees for loans to small US businesses.

The proposal, drafted by senior Republicans and Democrats, came to an end in less than two weeks of negotiations. At the beginning of the negotiations, the White House stated that it planned to spend about 2.5 billion US dollars to fight the new crown epidemic, which lawmakers thought was too low. President Trump subsequently said he would sign any plan approved by Congress.
Global economic outlook clouded
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) believes that because the transmission of coronaviruses in the United States and other regions has not been fully detected, there is a "terrible crisis" in the global economic outlook. IMF director Gilguieva said that it is difficult to predict the impact of the epidemic on the economy, and as long as the duration of the epidemic is unknown, the global economy remains uncertain.
She added that the IMF is fairly confident that global economic growth this year will be slower than in the same period in 2019.
On March 4th, World Health Organization Director-General Tanside said that in the past 24 hours, the number of newly confirmed cases outside China was almost nine times that of domestic cases.
Affected by the epidemic, the latest 007 series of movies originally scheduled to be released in April will be postponed to November. MGM and Universal Pictures publishers and producers said they made the decision "after carefully considering and fully assessing the state of the global market."
