[Q]: “They are heroic, I think there is no other way to describe what they are doing at this moment,” said Howard Catton, a British nurse who is the ICN’s chief executive officer. Infection rates of 9% and 12-14% have been reported among health workers in Italy and Spain, respectively, and deaths among nurses there and in Iran and Indonesia, he said. “We have no doubt that the rate of infections is related in part to the lack of PPE - personal protective equipment,” he told Reuters at the ICN offices along Lake Geneva. “There is a global shortage and nurses obviously are at a higher risk given the people that they are caring for.”  The federation represents 130 national associations and more than 20 million registered nurses. The World Health Organization has called repeatedly for countries and manufacturers to step up production of masks, gloves, gowns and other equipment for vulnerable health workers amidst critical shortages. Nearly 700,000 people have been infected worldwide in the outbreak that began last December in China and has claimed more than 33,000 lives, according to the WHO. Catton said there had been problems with supply chains in hard-hit Italy and Spain, describing their health systems as “very close to being overwhelmed”. Nurses worldwide take samples from COVID-19 patients, give them medicines and oxygen, and help incubate those in serious condition. “They are working under intense pressure, often long hours, some working back-to-back shifts for days on end, even sleeping over in the hospital, the facility, in which they work.”  Some nurses have been forced to re-use their gear or make their own masks and gowns, he added. “Wearing personal protective equipment when it is available is not easy either...Simple things like going to the loo and eating are of course much more difficult,” he said. Nurses across Africa and South Asia could be at greater risk as the virus moves to poorer settings. “We are very concerned that those countries that have weaker, more fragile health care systems could very quickly become overwhelmed by this virus if it takes hold in their countries,” Catton said. Nurses in Zimbabwe, fearing for their own safety, have been on strike due to a lack of information and protective gear, he said.

[Q]: Cuomo’s cautiously upbeat report at a daily briefing came as the daily death toll across the state, the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States, dropped to 540 on April 17, down from 630 a day earlier and the lowest in more than two weeks. The governor said total hospitalizations of patients being treated for COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus, came to 16,967, a drop of more than 1,300 over the past three days. Intubations and admissions to intensive care units also continued on their downward trend. “If you look at the past three days, you could argue that we are past the plateau and we’re starting to descend which would be very good news,” Cuomo said. He said, however, that about 2,000 infected people were newly admitted to hospitals on Friday, which he characterized as “still an overwhelming number,” and reiterated that he would take a cautious approach to reopening businesses and schools. Cuomo repeated a call for the federal government to help coordinate and provide funding for the mass testing that he and other governors have said is needed to determine when it is safe for people to go back to work. Providing new details on the challenge, Cuomo said a survey of labs in his state revealed an inability to procure the chemical reagents needed to run the tests on machines supplied by private manufacturers like Roche Holding AG. “They bought the machine, they have the machine, they have the test, but they need the reagents to do a higher volume of tests,” Cuomo said, adding that makers like Roche are struggling to get the reagents from China. “That’s the logjam we are in.”  New York disclosed 7,090 new positive cases over the last 24 hours for a total of 236,732 cases, while deaths increased by 540 to 13,362, marking by far the largest number of fatalities of any state. Even with stabilizing numbers, Cuomo said the pandemic was taking a severe emotional and economic toll on people, and estimated the impact on society would prove to be the biggest challenge facing the country since World War Two. “On every level this is a terrible experience, Cuomo said. “It is as tumultuous a time as we have ever seen.”

[Q]: “From the time I was in physical therapy school, I wanted to do something like this,” he said, relaxing for a few moments inside his own PT facility. Wonsettler has been a physical therapist for more than a decade, mostly in the Seattle area. He became somewhat disillusioned in the Great Northwest, though, after working at a practice owned by a large company that, he believes, operated in an impersonal manner and compromised his ideal of a PT center. “After three years, I told my wife that I couldn’t do this.” So they relocated to his roots, to Washington County, where Wonsettler decided to “build a building we could grow into.” Two years later, Wonsettler Physical Therapy and Specialized Health is up and going. Cliff and his youngest brother, Charlie, comprise the WPT staff, licensed physical therapists who began serving patients in early February. Cliff owns the business, which operates in a glistening two-story building about 100 yards off Route 40 in North Bethlehem Township. Wonsettler PT is on a flat stretch of the rolling Wonsettler farm - where they grew up. Their father, Chuck, a retired Bentworth School District teacher, is a sixth-generation family farmer there. He raises beef cattle, sheep and pigs on the 154-acre spread, which has stretched to a seventh generation. Cliff, his wife and their two sons live in a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor of the PT building, which has 5,000 square feet. “I have a pretty short commute to work,” Cliff said, beaming. So does Charlie, who is engaged to be married in 2020. He resides in the family’s farmhouse. The term “physical” has been a substantial element in the siblings’ lives. Cliff (class of 2000), C.J. (2002) and Charlie (2007) were outstanding wrestlers at Bentworth, where all topped the milestone of 100 victories and were PIAA tournament qualifiers. C.J., the only state champion among them, wrestled at Penn State with Cliff, while Charlie competed at Bucknell University. C.J., or Christopher, is in the military as his brothers are providing services of a different sort. Cliff and Charlie attended graduate school at the University of Pittsburgh, became PTs and practiced out of state for a while. Charlie was a Montana resident for a time, but now is back home with Cliff, working at the center while also handling inpatient rehabilitation assignments in Morgantown, W.Va. Their facility has a postal address of Scenery Hill, and while it isn’t in close proximity of the Century Inn, the center offers a fabulous panorama. You can see for miles and miles. The location was intentional. “A lot of (PT) places are so small and sterile, you don’t feel welcome,” Cliff said. “We wanted a place that is welcoming and comfortable, where you feel everything is working for you. A view like this helps. “We also want to offer more of a fitness component. A lot of physical therapy is reactive. We want to help people who are dealing with something, but we want to offer something that’s preventative.” Although he was turned off by the corporate mindset in a previous job, Cliff admitted, “I can see why a big company wants a physical therapy facility to see 20 to 30 people a day.” But he pledges that will not happen on the Wonsettler property. “We want to see eight patients a day,” he said. “What we lack in dollar amount, we make up with quality treatment.” The brothers’ corporate plan includes a short-term strategy - adding a staffer to handle the front desk - and to have five therapists on board within five years. Wonsettler Physical Therapy, appropriately on Wonsettler Road, is open weekdays only - at least for now. Hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday; noon to 7 p.m. Thursday; and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday. Although both have been out of high school for more than a decade, Charlie and Cliff look as if they could take a brawny opponent to the mat today. Both are trim and well-muscled. Having exercise machinery in their workplace should keep them fit. “Part of this is it gives us a place to work out, too,” Cliff said. “We have to practice what we preach.” ___ Online: https://bit.ly/2HCYd15 ___ Information from: Observer-Reporter, http://www.observer-reporter.com
