LIVE: Daily media briefing on #COVID19 with @DrTedros. #coronavirus pscp.tv/w/cTEQ_DI2MTAy…
"I would like to start by acknowledging #InternationalWomensDay this Sunday.
This is a moment to remember that around the world, many women cannot access essential health services & continue to suffer disproportionately from preventable & treatable diseases"-@DrTedros
"#InternationalWomensDay is an opportunity not only to promote & protect the health of women, but to highlight the vital role they play in promoting & protecting the health of all people.
Women make up 70% of the 🌍 health workforce, but hold only 25% of senior roles"-@DrTedros

Some of the things parents and caregivers can do to build a warm and loving relationship in the first years:
☑️ Frequent physical contact, like holding or cuddling
☑️ Regular eye contact
☑️ Talking and singing and responding to the noises the baby makes

Make time to play with your child and engage them in your daily chores. This will help them learn, be happy and thrive.

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.

It will be divided into two facilities, one with 300 beds (20 post-treatment recovery beds) located at the City Military School in Cu Chi District and the other in Phu Xuan Commune, Nha Be District will have 200 beds (10 post-treatment recovery beds).

Evidence emerging that the new #coronavirus 🦠 seems to mutate rather fast. Authors say “Close monitoring of the virus’s mutation, evolution, and adaptation is needed”. In a family of 6 infected people, 2 ‘nonsynonymous’ mutations occurred during human-to-human transmission.🤔
2) That said, they do not have the exact mutation rate calculated yet. But the study authors called it striking because 2 such nonsynonymous substitution mutations (which changes amino acid) within just 1 family is unusual. It doesn’t mean more dangerous. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonsynony…
3) Here is a good background reading on virus mutation and what they could mean. One that “Viruses showing high mutation rates tend to evade immunity more efficiently. There are numerous examples (in article)”. Let’s wait for coronavirus’s mutation rate. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Thread: Coronavirus Pummels #Wuhan, a City Short of Supplies and Overwhelmed

It is nearly impossible to get the care they need to treat, or even diagnose, the coronavirus, say residents at the crisis’ center
nytimes.com/2020/02/02/wor…
Weak with fever, An Jianhua waited in line for 7 hours outside the hospital in the cold, hoping to get tested for the new coronavirus, which doctors suspected she had contracted.
Ms. An, 67, needed an official diagnosis from a hospital to qualify for treatment, but the one she went to last week had no space, even to test her. The next hospital was full, too. They finally got an intravenous drip for Ms. An’s fever, but that was all.
