This is a statue of Ignaz Semmelweis, an Hungarian physician who lived from 1 July 1818 until 13 August 1865. He discovered, around 1850, that mortaliy rates from childbed fever in hospitals in the range of 20 to 30 percent were caused by physicians spreading deadly germs.

Yeah, some 170 years ago, you say. But now... Yeah now... same old story. This is from the website of the National Institute of Health of the Unites States government. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6245375/ - doi: 10.2147/IDR.S177247

Quote: The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention identifies that nearly 1.7 million hospitalized patients annually acquire Health care-associated infections (HCAIs) while being treated for other health issues and that more than 98,000 patients (one in 17) die due to these. 15 Nov 2018 - Just the fact of being admitted to a hospital comes with a 5% death risk. Covid-19s death risk is 2.2%. The death risk when boarding an airplane is 0.0001%.
