So far, deaths related to the Life Care Center in Kirkland, Wash., make up roughly half of the state's coronavirus death toll. (KUOW)
The 63-year-old man turned blue and struggled to breathe, the Life Care Center worker told an emergency dispatcher by phone on March 1.
Instead, Killian said, during those nine days they were swamped with paperwork from government agencies “asking us to spend administrative time searching down email lists and filling out documents and paperwork,” he said. “We were just doing everything we could to provide care to the patients that needed it.”
That same day, officials from the EvergreenHealth hospital in Kirkland notified Public Health that they had two patients with unexplained pneumonia, one of whom had been a resident at Life Care. A second nearby hospital reported a similar case, instead it was an employee. And then, that Friday evening, two batches of results showed that four people in the Seattle area had tested positive for coronavirus, two of whom were connected to Life Care. It was at this point that Public Health leaders reached out to the Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
When asked how the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services felt about their response to Life Care, a spokesperson wrote “At the request of [Washington] state, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services deployed a team of public health and medical professionals to augment the clinical staff at Life Care.”
“[My mother had] been watching the ambulances leaving and hearing people cough in the facility,” Spencer said, adding that she was surprised the CDC didn’t just “come in and take the center over.” Charlie Campbell's dad was admitted to Life Care on Feb. 21 and transferred out to Swedish on March 6. During his father’s stay at Life Care, he noticed discrepancies between what news agencies were reporting and what he saw happening.
