第54章 SEED 小橘子要当种子选手

Life for Britons in care homes is still full of restrictions

Campaigners argue that residents need more human contact.

No group suffered more during the pandemic than care-home residents.

Figures for England produced by the Office for National Statistics show that just over 45，000 residents have died after contracting covid-19 since the pandemic took hold in March 2020.

A group that prises fewer than one in every 100 people bore more than one in four covid deaths.

They also suffered disproportionately from measures designed to protect them and the wider public from covid-19. Residents have regularly been prevented from seeing family and friends for weeks or months at a time. Many of the victims died alone.

在这场疫情中，没有哪个群体比看护中心里的人遭受更多痛苦。国家统计局为英格兰统计的数字显示，自2020年3月疫情以来，有超过名看护中心居民在感染了新冠后死亡。这一群体占总人口的比例不到百分之一，但因新冠造成的死亡人数占的比例超过了四分之一。他们还很大程度上遭受了防疫措施带来的过度伤害，这些措施本来旨在保护他们和其他公众免受疫情影响。看护中心老人经常被阻止与家人和朋友见面，时间长达数周或数月。许多受害者都孤独死亡。

3、disproportionately

The government has already been taken to task for the death toll.

On April 27th the High Court ruled that the transfer of asymptomatic patients from hospitals into care homes in the early days of the pandemic， seeding infections that then spread rapidly， was unlawful.

The government

failed to take into account the highly relevant consideration of the risk to elderly and vulnerable residents from asymptomatic transmission

the justices wrote. Deaths from covid-19 have eased as vaccination rates have climbed.

But the issue of restrictions has not gone away.
