Mayor In Illinois Adds Ban Of Firearms And Ammunition To Coronavirus Emergency Executive Order dailycaller.com/2020/03/13/may… via @dailycaller
ICYMI and booze, too .. and no sharing your mower gasoline w/ the neighbor dude.

@chiIIum @BluesBrother91 @is_contagious
For anyone saying it's fake news, it is not.

This is the Executive Order. The "clarification" the city put out denies the verbiage of their own order. They can do so if they so choose.

On the "bugaboo" circulating on RT-PCR tests giving false positives, they ALSO give false negatives.

(Known 30-50% accuracy)

Quality Control is essential

Lab testing is times 2 plus a control

1 positive & 1 negative = inconclusive
Retested @ CDC

cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
Repeats:

Quality Control is essential thus specific instructions were created for specimen collection and lab testing procedures.

Confirmation is also done patient history, presentation of symptoms, exposure, blood work and CT scans as has been widely discussed.
1 small group in an NIH China study doesn't qualify as "Oh, PCR tests give way too many false positives!"

Studies also support the false negatives, thus tests are subject to human error both directions.

It is what it is and the testing we have with which to work.

1/Week 2 of #COVID disaster response here in Seattle. King County has reported 420 cases and 37 deaths. We are seeing more volumes in our hospitals, though I think we it may be the tip of the iceberg and anticipate more to come.

A couple of additional lessons this week:
2/1. Your PPE supplies are directly related to the time it takes to rule out COVID19. @JohnLynchID has denoted this the “MAK unit” (named after the inimitable @molsenmoose) and it represents the time from initiation of PPE for a patient to negative test and de-escalation.
3/ It is CRUCIAL. A large amount of your patient volume initially will be rule-outs and being efficient here will save your resources.

Low "MAK" time allows you to have low threshold to test inpatient and keep your care moving forward.

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/
