Even though community spread has been established in Utah, doctors are still being told they can not test people who haven’t had direct contact with coronavirus positive patients.

This is insane.
The CDC is enabling this pandemic.

sltrib.com/news/2020/03/1…
To put this in perspective, Utah is running 40 tests a day. Statewide.

40

Not 400. Not 4,000.

40
The latest cases suggest widespread infection within the community. Restaurant staff. School kids.

It’s already here and spreading like wildfire while the @UtahDepOfHealth looks the other way.

Tomorrow morning many of you are going to enter the remote workforce for the first time or as I like to call it "trying to get shit done with kids in my face."

I've been living here for quite some time so let me give you the lay of the land and some solid tips.
(THREAD)
(2) First, what qualifies me? Well, I've run my own business from home for 3 years. I juggle school-aged kids every summer for three months. but I've also homeschooled them both at one point.

I'm also a former kindergarten teacher & child behavioral therapist.
(3) My first piece of advice is PLANNING. Get one of these simple printable curriculum calendars and PLAN what the kids are going to do while you work for the next two weeks.

If they've got stuff online to do from school, great. But for the littles it'll probably be up to you.

This #SundayMorning I'm asking you to commit to saving a life by staying home. Here's what that means:

No restaurants
No playdates
No parties
No travel

Join me in committing to stay home for the next two weeks to show we can #FlattenTheCurve

(2) Yesterday my timeline was filled with alarming scenes of crowded airports and anecdotal accounts of people packed into bars for St. Patrick's Day.

We know for every person infected with the virus, 2.5 more people become infected with COVID-19.

(3) We know that thousands if not millions of folks walking around in public right now are asymptomatic silent killers. They carry the virus & contribute to its spread.

For millions of elderly & immune-compromised, this carelessness is a death sentence.

Social distancing is for everyone. Yes you, too!

This only works if we all take it seriously and commit to as little interaction as possible over the next 2-3 weeks. That means not eating out, avoiding shopping except when essential, no gyms, no play dates for the kids.
(THREAD)
(2) Yes it sucks. No you’re not supposed to enjoy it. But we need to stop the virus spread NOW.

I see you letting your littles play on the neighborhood playground. The virus can live on some surfaces for days. And it’s not just about your risk.

It’s about infection spread.
(3) Sure you’re probably safe. Maybe you’ll get it and feel lousy for a few days. But the kid you let come over and play is gonna take it home and maybe give it to a grandparent. They won’t be okay.

When you practice social distancing, you’re not protecting yourself.

Even though there are multiple limitations to helping in conflict zones and #coronavirus spreading in displaced populations in #Syria, we are doing all we can to do just that.

We have sourced diagnostic kits from a lab and are currently pricing them out. 1/4
Our work in #Syria is in a fluid environment where war and political complexity have destroyed infrastructure. We depend on creative local team members to negotiate this chaotic terrain and have learned that it is possible to accomplish incredibly transforming interventions. 2/4
Once given Syrian government permission, the staff on our hospitainer will begin diagnosing #Covid19. In the meantime, they will treat those that present with the same symptoms as presumptive Covid19 and take precautionary measures to slow the spread of the virus in #Syria. 3/4

"Behind our house They're burying 2 people who died of the #CoronaVirus... I asked them why, they insulted us & brought the police... When you don't let people get closer than 100 meters, how can you be burying them just 20 meters from my home?!" the man asks in fury.
#Iran
Feb 27 - Qeshm, S #Iran
This is how authorities are supposedly "taking measures" to address the #CoronaVirus outbreak.
Iranian man arriving in Georgia is quarantined after showing signs of the #CoronaVirus.

My take:
He most likely fled #Iran thinking he would die there because the regime is providing no aid.

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.
