Something I’ve noticed about myself in the past and again in this #coronavirus reality that maybe some others who deal with anxiety can relate to. My anxiety has always been free floating and usually flares up about nothing or something very minor.

A short thread...
But when it comes to real life, serious situations, I become very practical and rational in my thinking and preparing. Obviously that’s something that has helped me immensely in my line of work, but I find it fascinating.
That said, this kind of thing will trigger a lot of different emotions and reactions in people. We talk a lot about mental health awareness and the importance of listening; this is a good time to do that. Don’t minimize people being freaked.
And if you are, talk to someone. Anyone. My DMs are always open. Stress and anxiety shouldn’t be minimized anymore than preparations for this challenge should be.

We've come a long way to #EndTheStigma around mental health but there's so much work to do. Particularly when it comes to access to services. We keep saying we treat mental illness like any other disease, but the resources available tell a different story. #BellLetsTalk thread:
When I had a serious depressive episode in my early 20s, my GP was my only option. He was retiring and happy to write a prescription. Meanwhile, I still had no idea what he wanted to treat me for. Depression and anxiety weren't real to me.
Things got worse. I had test after test because I assumed there was something "physically" wrong with me. I wasn't crazy, right?
But tests were negative. And I couldn't function. I lost 40 pounds in a few months. To say my family was worried is an understatement.

From A Friend...

Hi John.

Just my thoughts on observations I have noticed over the years with my involvement in the virus industry.

1. The Covid 19 has little effect on the young.

2. It is very dangerous to people past 65 years of age.

3. Younger people have little problem in keeping the PH of there urine in the mid range.

4. Pensioners tend to have urine that is rather acid.

5. Covid 19 seems to replicate very fast in the elderly, resulting in death.

6. The Covid 19 does not replicate in the young anywhere near as fast.

7. There has been no printed work on ph tolerences and replication of this virus.

Here’s what it’s like to have two chronic illnesses and an autoimmune disease and live with the threat of #coronavirus, while most of society on social media makes fun of people like me. A thread about #COVID19.
Under “normal” circumstances I wash my hands constantly, clean my phone, glasses and other personal items with alcohol wipes two or three times a day. Since #COVID19 is airborne, I’m literally afraid to go outside. This may seem like an overreaction, but I’m not ready to die.
Many people with chronic illness are very afraid of getting the flu or colds in a normal year, so in a weird way we’re more prepared for #coronavirus than others. We’re always on alert. We move away from the sick coughers in public spaces and don’t fly often to avoid getting sick

I've been tweeting a lot about #Coronavirus risk in the US. But my original field is int'l disaster/humanitarian relief, so let's take a look at that aspect.

The charts in the embedded thread help explain why WHO and others are so much more worried about the developing world.
(PSA - this will make more sense if you read the other thread first)

Here again is a simple conceptual representation of how case volume and health system capacity relate to create risk of elevated mortality.
So if the red line represents quality treatment capacity in a first-world setting, the black line represents a developing world setting. Lower baseline, and likely to decline over time (this decline can happen in first world settings too).

1- #CoronaVirus reality vs hysteria..

"The media attention hardly helps, (Mirjam Jenny, a risk literacy researcher) said: "We talk about this so much because many people are afraid. But also, many people are afraid because we talk about it so much."

2- Some #CoronaVirus perspective..
3- More #CoronaVirus perspective..👇🏼

"For comparison, almost half of the people infected with Ebola died in the 2014-2016 outbreak. About half of the people infected with HIV — more than 1 million per year — die, often because of a lack of access to treatment."

#Vietnam: Saigon builds $11 million field hospital post-haste to combat coronavirus with facilities in 2 locations to deal with the new coronavirus infections

The hospitals currently under the department cannot handle 500 cases at a time.

The field hospital will have 500 beds with at least 30 post-treatment recovery beds (used to stabilize a patient’s condition).
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).
