Doctors beg Donald Trump to give corona info to successor Biden | Abroad

Trump does not recognize Biden’s victory and for the time being is refusing him access to government data, as was customary in the past with a transfer of power. Procrastination can cost many lives, the heads of the associations of hospitals, doctors and nurses write to Trump.

Data and information on the supply of therapeutics, test equipment, protective equipment, respiratory equipment, hospital capacity and availability of personnel to plan national deployment must be shared to save “countless” lives, they write. Information about corona vaccines and treatments for Covid-19 must also be shared as soon as possible in order to continue the care of patients as well as possible, the letter further states.

Biden said on Monday that the deadlock with Trump could cost lives. “More people could die if we don’t coordinate,” said the president-to-be.

In the US, infection records are broken every day, and the country also has by far the highest number of deaths from Covid-19 worldwide.
