1/3 #Socialdistancing is an important contribution that everyone can make to 🇨🇦’s #COVID19 #coronavirus #pandemic control efforts. We need to all work together to #FlattentheCurve and help as many Canadians as possible stay healthy.
2/3 #Socialdistancing means avoiding crowded places and non-essential gatherings.

#FlattentheCurve #COVID19 #coronavirus #pandemic
3/3 As possible:

- shop or take public transit in off-peak hours;

- Greet with a wave or #elbowbump – “no handshake/kiss/hug for now, thanks”;

- increase personal space to 2 arm lengths(~2m).

1/8 March 15: there are 313 #COVID19 cases in 🇨🇦, with 10 provinces now reporting a case. With the recent rapid⬆️in cases, Canada’s window to #FlattentheCurve is closing. The time for all Cdns to act is now. #doyourpart
2/8 🇨🇦 has completed over 25,000 lab tests to cast the net wide for possible #COVID19 cases among patients with influenza-like illness in clinic settings all the way up to severe respiratory illness in hospitals and even if there is no travel history.
3/8 #COVID19 is a serious public health threat. While this disease is particularly serious for older adults and medically vulnerable people, all ages are at risk. #FlattentheCurve

1/5 Today, my advice is to postpone or cancel all non-essential travel outside of 🇨🇦. This means reconsidering your vacations, sporting & entertainment events, large international conferences & other elective travel. #COVID19 #coronavirus #pandemic
2/5 Avoiding these potential exposure sites is especially important for older adults and people with underlying medical conditions who are at a higher risk of developing severe disease. #COVID19 #coronavirus #pandemic
3/5 In addition, it is particularly important for health care workers and others who come into close contact with these vulnerable persons to avoid travel outside of Canada. #COVID19 #coronavirus #pandemic

1/5 #COVID19 outbreak control measures can slow spread, reduce peak impact on health system and give hospitals time to prepare/manage surge. It will take everyone working together to #FlattentheCurve.

2/5 Here’s what we all need to do to #FlattentheCurve of #COVID19: Good hygiene practices - frequent #handwashing, #coughetiquette, #elbowsneeze, #Socialdistancing, #StayHomeIfSick. If sick, call ahead to be guided to appropriate care. #OutsmartEpidemics
3/5 #FlattentheCurve of #COVID19 by protecting those who are at high risk of severe outcomes, including older adults, those w/weakened immune system or w/ underlying medical condition(s). Protect yourself, protect others.

La Terza Onda

Nel 1967, il 3 Aprile (manco a farlo apposta) un professore di storia, Ron Jones, che non riusciva a far capire ai suoi studenti come avesse potuto un intero popolo essere assoggettato dal e partecipare alle follie del regime nazionalsocialista.

Decise dunque di usare l'esperienza diretta come esempio, e mise in atto un esperimento che venne chiamato "La Terza Onda".

"Cronistoria
Jones scrive che iniziò il primo giorno dell'esperimento lunedì 3 aprile 1967 con cose semplici come il corretto modo di sedersi, addestrando gli studenti finché questi fossero in grado di arrivare dall'esterno della classe fino alle proprie sedie e prendere

In today's column, I tried to answer the question: "How much worse can the #coronavirus pandemic get?" So, for data geeks like me, I'm going to post a thread of stories and graphs with projections. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
How Much Worse the #Coronavirus Could Get - features some great interactive charts and examines how long the #pandemic could last nytimes.com/interactive/20… via @nytimes
Unsurprisingly, Our World In Data has some of the best data on #coronavirus, like this chart that shows how long it took for cases numbers to double. (in Canada it's four days) ourworldindata.org/coronavirus

you guys, i’m having a lovely time in my eerily deserted city. i already had covid19 in early feb, i stay stocked up on supplies + i love a reason to knit and read at home all day

i know it’s new to a lot of people, though, so let me be your infectious disease/shut-in guide. AMA
the first thing everybody’s going to want to do is learn how to knit. we’ve all got some long days at home to put in and you can only binge so much tv. knitting keeps you mentally stimulated AND it has a ton of mental and emotional health benefits to ease those pandemic nerves.
the next thing you want to do is buy in bulk and, if possible, get that shit delivered, rather than go to the store.

you live in a small space and can’t store bulk items, you say? so do i. get creative. make it work. you’ll be thankful for that case of tissues later.

Looks like @0ctoberReignz is onto something here... the image we have been bombarded with as being “Coronavirus” (specifically 2019-nCoV) is not an actual image of #COVID. It’s a rendition of another virus. In fact, we barely have a decent image of COVID at all!
Here is the best image we have of #COVID / #Coronavirus from the #Wuhan outbreak... this is it... this is the real image.

Doesn’t exactly look like the pretty modeled image we saw just a moment ago does it? Nope... not at all!
What we DO have... is a Electron Scanned Microscopic image of Influenza A... as correctly pointed out by @0ctoberReignz ... so... WTF??

There is definitely something way way off going on here

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.

Coronavirus #COVID -19 appears to be jumping at a rate of 117 new cases per hour. Monitoring closely as this seems to indicate a faster rate of infection than was previously reported. Could be an anomaly. The deaths did not jump however... so that’s good.
