Belgium hospitals on the brink

Unread post by AHE »

Belgium will run out of hospital beds in little over a week, according to a medical expert. The country has the highest number of coronavirus infections per capita in the world and has registered another record caseload.

Dr. Philippe Devos, the president of the medical union of Belgium, told DW that if the numbers continue to increase then within "ten days there will be only one bed remaining, and two patients. And the doctors will have to choose which one of the two patients will be able to be in the only bed we have."

German MEP and health expert Peter Liese said that the European Union had "underestimated" the impact of COVID-19 as some member states' health care systems are just days from collapsing.

Czech Republic, with a population of some 10.7 million, has one of the fastest-growing infection rates in Europe while Belgium has the most coronavirus cases per capita in the world.
