完人甚难——US CDC mixed up as well

        此次武汉当局在应对时疫之初,犯有大错。但眼下并非追责的适当时机。据闻,当局上下正在全员拼命工作,争取戴罪立功。故而,暂且停止对他们的责骂,放其一马,待秋后算账,再论功过。

        人非圣贤,孰能无过。【元】刘祁《归潜志》卷十三:“士之立身如素丝然,慎不可使点污,少有点污,则不得为完人矣。” 【明】吕坤《呻吟语选·圣贤》:“为宇宙完人甚难;自初生以至属纩,彻头彻尾,无些子破绽,尤难。” 鲁迅《准风月谈》:“不过我们另外还有一种相反的脾气:首饰要‘足赤’,人物要‘完人’。”

        只要是人,都可能犯错。不分中外,此理皆通。无论政治背景,宗教信仰,当务之急,控制疫情,抢救危重,恢复正常生活,乃是你我之最大的愿望,最高的政治,最神圣的信仰。

        据CNN报道,美国疾病控制与预防中心和圣地亚哥一家医院的失误,导致一名携带新型冠状病毒的妇女被送回海军陆战队Miramar基地,而不是被送往医院隔离。

        该名妇女于2月5日乘坐国务院航班从中国武汉撤离,飞往该基地。第二天,她开始出现症状,并被送至UC San Diego Health Center。另外三名出现症状的人也被送往该医院。

        医院将病人的测试标本送到亚特兰大的CDC实验室进行测试。据称,标本在抵达CDC实验室时被错误地标记,未意识到它们是来自四名Miramar患者的标本,因此未经测试。

        当无测试结果反馈时,疾病预防控制中心的工作人员错误地向UC San Diego Health Center提供了测试结果为阴性的报告。这个错误导致4名患者在周日下午又被送回空军基地。

        他们回到基地后,亚特兰大CDC发现了错误,随后对4名患者的标本进行了测试,结果显示一名妇女呈阳性。该名妇女于周一早上被送回加州大学圣地亚哥校区健康中心,并一直处于隔离状态。消息人士称,这名妇女病情很轻,没有发烧,没有咳嗽。其他三名患者测试阴性。

        在星期二的新闻发布会上,疾病预防控制中心首席副主任安妮·舒卡特(Anne Schuchat)博士说,Miramar患者的检测过程中有些“混淆”,她补充说患者在出现症状后可能只与有限的人有过接触。调查仍在进行。

 

Source tells CNN (from CNN's Elizabeth Cohen): Errors by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a hospital in San Diego led to a woman with the novel coronavirus being sent back to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar instead of being sent to isolation at the hospital, according to a health official familiar with the situation.

The woman was among Americans in federal quarantine at the base. She flew to the base on February 5 on a State Department flight evacuating Americans from Wuhan, China. The next day she started experiencing symptoms of the novel coronavirus and was taken to UC San Diego Health Center. Three other people who were exhibiting symptoms were also transported to the hospital.

The hospital sent their specimens to a CDC lab in Atlanta for testing. According to the source, the specimens were incorrectly labeled upon arrival and so they were not tested. The CDC lab did not realize the specimens were from the four Miramar patients.

When no results were reported back, CDC staffers mistakenly gave UC San Diego Health Center the results of the four patients who tested negative. That mistake led to all four Miramar patients being transferred back to the base Sunday afternoon.

After they arrived back at the base, the mistake was discovered and the tests were run on the four Miramar patients. The results for the woman came back positive, and she was transported back to UC San Diego Health Center on Monday morning, where she remains in isolation. The woman has had a very mild illness, according to the source, with no fever and a slight cough. The other three patients tested negative.

A spokesperson for the hospital could not be immediately reached for comment. During a news conference on Tuesday, Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC, said "there was a little bit of a mix-up there” around the testing for the Miramar patient. She added that the patient may have had limited contact with others when she developed symptoms, but the investigation is ongoing.
