SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. (AP) It’s been over a year since a choir practice in Washington state sickened 53 people and killed two, becoming one of the first known COVID-19 superspreader events in the United States. But from that tragic toll emerged one of the most pivotal transmission episodes in understanding the virus. Experts say the public health investigation that followed was key in concluding that the virus was spreading through the air. The children of one of the women who died gathered recently to honor her. They say they’re comforted to know that knowledge gained from the event has helped advance preventative measures and save lives.
Knoxville Hospital & Clinics partnered with Knoxville Fire & Rescue to provide treatment when a long-term care facility experienced a COVID-19 outbreak in December. Approximately 85 percent of the residents tested positive. KHC staff saw the need for an urgent response, and offered patients Bamlanivimab, which is a monoclonal antibody treatment commonly referred to as “BAM” to the residents. Between five and ten residents per day were treated over a two-week span. Knoxville Fire & Rescue transported the residents to KHC, and KHC staff prepared medications, provided nursing care, organized paperwork, and sanitized rooms used for treatment.
This treatment is intended to help high-risk patients by stopping the virus from reproducing, which prevents severe symptoms. It was approved by the FDA for emergency use in November.
