CDC表示COVID-19导致全国急诊室就诊人数下降42%

根据美国疾病控制和预防中心周三发布的数据，2020年到目前为止，与去年同期相比，美国医院急诊室的就诊人数下降了40%以上。急诊室就诊次数从2019年3月31日至2019年4月27日期间的平均每周约210万人次，下降到今年3月29日至4月25日大流行早期期间的平均每周122万人次。同时，每个年龄段的急诊室就诊人数都有所下降，其中10岁及以下儿童的降幅最大，为72%。CDC的研究人员认为，尽管如此，还需要进一步的研究来确定急诊室就诊人数的下降是否是由于疫情期间人们的活动模式的改变有关。

So far in 2020, U.S. hospital emergency room visits have dropped more than 40 percent compared with the same period last year, according to data released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of emergency room visits declined from an average of about 2.1 million per week on 31 March 2019 solstice on 27 April 2019 to an average of 1.22 million per week on 29 March this year during the early stages of the pandemic on 25 April. At the same time, emergency-room visits declined at every age, with children 10 and younger suffering the steepest decline of 72 percent. Still, more research is needed to determine whether the drop in emergency room visits is due to changes in people's activity patterns during the outbreak, CDC researchers said.  source
