What a lack of preparedness looks like.

Italian Medical Chief Roberto Stella Dies of Coronavirus at 67

👇🏻He kept treating patients even after masks ran out.

WE CANNOT "FLATTEN THE CURVE" IF PEOPLE HOARD MASKS AND THERE ISN'T A MAJOR SUPPLY CHAIN FOR DOCS, NURSES AND MEDICAL STAFF.
👉This is in the United States:

"Nurses are being asked to actually reuse masks, including surgical masks, which provide no protection," Executive Director of National Nurses United Bonnie Castillo said.

NYC Mayor: If Trump doesn't act, 'people will die who could have lived otherwise'

nbcnews.com/politics/meet-… via @nbcnews
"I have asked repeatedly for the military to be mobilized, for the Defense Production Act to be used to its fullest to get us things like ventilators, so people can live who would die otherwise,” De Blasio said on @NBCNews’s “Meet the Press.”

👉U.S. docs, nurses & hospitals sent a letter to Trump begging him to use the 1950 Defense Production Act.

(Trump has resisted, alternatively insisting he's already done it and that he'll only do it if absolutely necessary.)

Bottom line: He hasn't *activated* it.
U.S. co's are doing a great job *voluntarily* making masks, gloves, ventilators desperately needed & running in short supply, Trump says.

American Medical Association President told @NBCNews philanthropy is NOT GOING TO CUT IT. Production must sync with pandemic modeling.
Whose job is that?

Trump needs to actually *use* the DPA to compel manufacturers to produce the *right amount* of items needed for the nt'l defense.

This ensures 1) U.S. supply = hospital demand 2) manufacturers can proceed w confidence there will be a market for products.

U.S. docs, nurses & hospitals send letter to Trump:

"Immediately use the DPA to increase the domestic production of medical supplies and equipment that hospitals, health systems, physicians, nurses and all front line providers so desperately need. ...
American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association

"have concerns that increasingly there are dwindling supplies of N95 respirators, isolation gowns, isolation masks, surgical masks, eye protection, intensive care unit equipment
and diagnostic testing supplies in areas that had the first community outbreaks and in many other areas of the country.

Even with an infusion of supplies from the strategic stockpile and other federal resources, there will not be enough medical supplies, including ventilators,

I am not hysterical or fearful when it comes to #CoronaVirus. What I am “Truly” Concerned About & Afraid of: is “How” the Powers & Governments Can Utilize & Use it- and the “Things” they can Do to us Utilizing it. Does That Make Sense?
#CoronaVirus: The Timing of it makes me think. The Reaction & Associated Actions to it Make me think Twice and Harder. And the possible “Man-Made” (Non-Organic) consequences and results make me highly concerned. Hope you catch my drift.

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.

The costs of stability at all costs: On January 1, well before the Wuhan #coronaravirus spread en masse and more than a week before the virus was identified, the Wuhan police announced that it had dealt with eight people for spreading untruthful information about "Wuhan viral
pneumonia" in accordance with law. Official news reports of the time say that the Wuhan police wanted to remind people it would be unrelenting in dealing with those who concoct and spread rumors (xinhuanet.com/2020-01/01/c_1…). This news item was prominently carried on
China Central TV and major outlets as well as online. It had a chilling effect on those who saw the early signs of a then emerging epidemic. This crackdown was clearly part of a coordinated effort by the Wuhan leadership.

🚨VIDEO from a hospital in #Wuhan, #China — the epicenter of the #CoronavirusOutbreak — shows numerous patients in distress, some covered completely (suggesting mortality).

This is what outbreaks look like.

#2019nCoV #coronavirus
More video via @muyixiao from “#Wuhan Hospital 11” showing the devastation of #2019nCoV.

Sick — even potentially critically ill — patients line the hallway. Such scenes only happen when a hospital is overwhelmed.

More details / translations from @muyixiao on the current situation in #Wuhan hospitals (the #coronavirus epicenter) that are treating patients with #2019nCoV.👇🏼
