(1/6)As #IndiaCOVIDcrisis grows, more people from my closer circle are getting infected with #COVID. The one COMMON QUESTION that I get asked is “How can I get #Remdesivir?” And my only response is, “Don’t waste your time searching Remdesivir!”
And here is why...👇
And here is why...👇
(2/6)The @WHO living guideline on Therapeutics and COVID19 clearly outlines recommendations (with evidence). Here is a quick snapshot!

I often hear, and have felt myself like the need in India and South Asia is so great right now, but I didn’t know where my donation would be of the most use. While it is wonderful to donate to large international NGOs and other respected organizations, I wanted to feel like my /1
Donation would have an immediate impact for the people who need it the most. That’s why my family chose to set up a GoFundMe to support the hospital in Manali where we have volunteered over the past decade. While I had hoped the remote nature of the hospital would protect them /2
As expected, #COVID19 is flooding the Kullu Valley and surrounding regions. The hospital in Manali, LWH, is seeking supplies, PPE, and donations to continue to provide quality care while protecting the hospital staff (Image: Kullu Valley @anraed42 lnkd.in/daTwWKt) /3

Anyone heard #COVIDIOTS say something like, "If this is a pandemic where are all the mass graves?"
They have been there for a long time
And now there are more than ever in India
And denial still persists
Check the thread for examples.
Misinformation + bad leadership = disasters

Mass graves being set up for COVID victims in Manaus, Brazil. An area where some proponents of the #greatbarringtondeclaration claimed herd immunity had been reached.

“As I have been walking the halls of our campus, I have met Indian students and colleagues who are in tears.
They ask, ‘How can I help my family?’
We must support our colleagues emotionally and logistically.”

India has received tonnes of medical supplies from several friendly countries as aid in its fight against the catapulting coronavirus crisis. But where are all these supplies headed? #CoronavirusPandemic #IndiaCovidCrisis #IndiaNeedsOxygen #CoronaVaccine

Indian as well as foreign media have struggled to find that out, but to no avail. Even Union Ministries in India are unable to offer much clarity on the issue. An officer said that all the foreign aid is being received by the Indian Red Cross. #aid #RedCross #IndiaNeedsOxygen
It is then sent to the Ministry of External Affairs, and thereafter, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Home Affairs step in for domestic distribution. However, reportedly, no Ministry offered any details about the distribution of COVID-19 relief consignments. #Ministry
1/ In speaking with multiple NGOs on the ground in India just this morning:
“the government has abandoned us”
The capacity to quickly scale up high grade surgical + N95 masks is there; why isn’t it being utilized?

2/ With high-grade mask protection, you can functionally stop transmission both ways. This means that if you’re infected, you can stop spreading to others; and if you’re not yet infected, you can be better protected while doing daily essential activities that can’t be stopped
3/ this is of course with the goal of getting vaccinated; but as is known, immunity post-vaccination is not immediate; during a surge like the one in India, better PPE is the most immediate solution
