WUHAN, CHINA - FEBRUARY 03: Workers build hospital on February 3, 2020 in Wuhan, China. The results exposed staggering mortality rates suggesting that, despite improvements in Covid-19 survival between March and August 2020, surges in hospital Covid-19 caseload remain detrimental to survival and potentially erode benefits gained from emerging treatments. Hospitals around the globe have contended with large surges in Covid-19 patients throughout the pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, hospitals were already met with a shortage of supply, limiting their ability to provide proper care for patients. Some counties, however, had already taken these steps leading to the successful prevention and management of surges during the Covid-19 pandemic.
