SERIOUS THREAD FROM A DOCTOR

It may be self-evident but if you get such respiratory distress from #COVIDー19 that you are placed on a ventilator, you will be unable to speak.

I know it’s hard but, as you gather with family, tell them what you would want done in that event.

1/
Designate a surrogate decision-maker (healthcare proxy).

Better yet, document your wishes through an advance directive.

@AARP has a very helpful website where you can find appropriate forms by state:
aarp.org/caregiving/fin…

2/
You can also complete a POLST form (Physician's Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment). This is not synonymous with an advance directive, and again varies from state to state.

You can learn more here:
polst.org/programs-in-yo…

For all my friends wondering about #COVIDー19 and #coronavirus and especially those returning from travel or exchange, I wrote a short thread of some ideas to keep in mind... 1/n

#COVID19Ontario #COVIDCanada #SocialDistance #selfisolate #WorkFromHome
First: if you are returning from ANY TRAVEL, please self-isolate for 14 days. Stay home, use a separate room/washroom, don't touch your face, wash hands, etc. More info below 👇. 2/n

#selfisolate: bit.ly/2TQ5ela
#WashYourHands : bit.ly/2x33FqT
When buying supplies, please avoid hoarding. We must ensure that there is enough supply for healthcare workers and vulnerable populations (e.g. those w/chronic diseases or the elderly) who may have trouble getting what they need. 3/n

We’ve increased tests in UK for Coronavirus #COVIDー19 5,000 in one day on Friday, and at least 37,746 overall. We’re testing well above most countries (save Italy / China / S Korea).

I’ve had some questions on why we’ve changed the testing approach. I’ll try to explain here 1/
Firstly we need to prioritise testing the most vulnerable to ensure we understand their care needs and what treatment they need.

Secondly we’re testing medical / caring staff to limit the spread of the virus to most vulnerable 2/
The test is not 100% accurate (no test is and this is a new virus) and can give false negative results as you need a certain viral load to get a positive test. 3/

Thread. So there are plenty of examples that have been tweeted today that suggest what the government claims about their enhanced screening measures is incorrect. 1/

#COVIDー19 #cdnpoli
For example, a national columnist, who went through screening this evening, and was only faced with a computer kiosk that asks one question and was then waved through. 2/

Or this reporter who was only asked if they had travelled to Italy, China, or Iran. No questions about symptoms or if they had even been around anyone with COVID or symptoms. 3/

As a Hong Konger, I continue to be baffled by the public response in Europe. Though most are concerned, many are still acting like it's nbd. HK was in the news because of #COVIDー19 a month ago. There are travel advisories against HK. Peopled abroad asked me about it. 1/
There are STILL only ~130 cases in Hong Kong. There are now 798 cases in the UK & ppl are still out & about as if nothing is wrong. When I was in Milan (at a time when there were 3,000 cases), I was shocked at the lack of concern, including from police & health workers. 2/
When I was in Milan, I didn't understand how relaxed people were, and I felt like I was the crazy one. I kept trying to convey my disbelief and the severity of the situation to my colleagues, and how worried it made me for Italy – and Europe. 3/
