Why does the hospital get so many more wards closed with D&V (Norovirus) than other hospitals?

Much investigation, locally and nationally, has taken place as to why this appears to happen. There are many hospitals across the country similarly affected, and we all appear to have the same population age distribution, therefore more elderly folk who may need admitting with symptoms resulting from this infection. If symptoms start after arrival (as they sometimes can) then this may lead to spread despite early isolation within single rooms.

If several patients are affected at the same time, the ward may not be able to provide individual side rooms, and patients affected or exposed are cared for in a bay (this is called ‘co-horting) in an attempt to stop the spread further. Taking affected patients to another ward leads to risk of spread during and after transfer. Norovirus is an illness that only lasts a couple of days, although you may feel very unwell during this time!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
