On 28 February, WHO raised the risk assessment for the #COVID19 outbreak internationally from “high” to “very high.”

#coronavirus

Since WHO systematized its approach to risk assessments in 2012, this is the first time that the risk associated with an event has been assessed as “very high” at the global level.

#coronavirus
A risk assessment is a systematic process for gathering, assessing and documenting information to assign a level of risk. It provides the basis for taking action to manage and reduce the negative consequences of acute public health risks.

#coronavirus is a story of squandered time. This story here is perfect example. Our planning already had in place protections for first responders. And we had time. China gave us time. And we squandered it, failing to protect because there was no one to demand it or execute it.1/
Lost, squandered time will be how history writes about our preparedness. That is why there is this uptick in panic and surprise. The WH continued to hope and insist that China would succeed at containment. That was plan A. But we have a plan B for a reason. 2/
How do I know it was part of plan? Because we’ve done this before. The virus is new; pandemic preparedness is not. We knew border agents and other first responders would need additional protections; same true for public health workers. (See this thread on the plan ⬇️). 3/

What are the risks to vital medicines supply chains in the Maldives? How much of a stockpile of medicines do you all have in the country? How many ventilators does the Maldives have? What's the stockpile of PPE equipment?
How do you plan on making sure this supply is not going to be disrupted? How many doctors and nurses do we have in the country?
Last night on the #coronavirus related public health press conference, health minister @ameenex agreed that if the virus gets out of control, up to 60% of the population could get infected!

Information on #coronavirus #COVID19 #CDC - A THREAD
Since the first reports of cases from Wuhan, a city in the Hubei Province of China, by the end of 2019, more than 76,000 cases have been reported.
Transmission risk is partially understood. Person-to-person spread is most likely via respiratory droplets--similar to the spread of influenza. However, airborne precautions are still recommended due to uncertainty.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.

THREAD: How #Beijing kept the world in the dark as coronavirus spread

The govt's initial handling allowed the virus to gain a tenacious hold. Officials chose to put secrecy ahead of confronting the crisis to avoid political embarrassment

The government's initial handling of the epidemic allowed the virus to gain a tenacious hold. At critical moments, officials chose to put secrecy and order ahead of openly confronting the growing crisis to avoid public alarm and political embarrassment
Authorities silenced doctors for raising red flags. They played down the dangers to the public, leaving the city's 11 million residents unaware they should protect themselves. They closed a food market where the virus may have started, but told the public it was for renovations.
