The US #COVID19 death curve has steepened again, along with further divergence from South Korea (March 19th)
Soon to cross Iran, and heading towards Italy.
Via @jburnmurdoch @FT
Will post last 4 day side-by-side next
last 4 days so you can see the evolution
As expected from US test kit availability (less flying blind), there is a steep rise in its cumulative case curve. It'll cross China soon.

So far there's been lots of speculation for #COVID19 asymptomatic carrier rate
—Mild or no symptoms: 60% nature.com/articles/d4158…
—"Some degree"—Fauci wsj.com/articles/why-i…
—Mild or no symptoms: 86% science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…
We really need to know this for people w/o symptoms
1/2
To resolve this we need a random mass screen of a diverse (age, gender, ancestry, geography) group without symptoms and shouldn't this undertaken straight away?
Thoughts?

This essay from @mlipsitch reinforces how little we know compared with testing done in Asian countries, the very high asymptomatic rate

"The feckless federal response created such delays in testing that most cases here are not being confirmed, even now"

The new curves for 21 March:
US deaths very steepen, now approaching Iran
US case curve has surpassed even Spain
It just keeps looking worse.
Thanks @jburnmurdoch @FT who is all over this each day
Here you can see what has happened for the US deaths curve for the past 6 days
It's still hard to interpret the US case curve because of the marked delay for #COVID19 testing.
@COVID19Tracking just updated shows remarkable 4X increase in testing in 1 day. Tests still have ~48 hr turnaround

Deconvoluting #COVID19's historic big miss in the US
theatlantic.com/health/archive… a sharp and thorough analysis by @alexismadrigal and @yayitsrob @TheAtlantic via @AdrienneLaF @edyong209 w/ storytelling curves
What I refer to as "historic big miss" are the 2 months of not doing any #COVID19 testing.
Essential to get ahead of the outbreak:
Testing anyone in the US w/ pneumonia or symptoms, do extensive contact tracing, find carriers, get #healthcare workers protected, limit the hit
This from Italy. How many super-spreaders were missed in the US for 2 months by coming to the ER and being sent home with no testing possible?

⚠️#Italy reports 793 new #coronavirus deaths, its biggest single-day increase. #COVID cases total >53,000 with >4,800 dead, and the rate of increase keeps growing with >50% of cases and deaths in the past week.

“Bodies have piled up in churches.”😰

While #coronavirus cases and deaths in #Italy keep growing, the curve appears to be flattening.

Italy locked down its north on 3/8 when it had 7,375 #COVID19 cases and 366 deaths.

On 3/11, the whole country was locked down: 12,462 cases and 827 deaths.

as long as corona virus doesn't cross throat it isn't serious

once it infects lungs, most (except children, pregnant women) develop cytokine storm immune reaction

Old, sick people will suffer. Need lots of Oxygen (ventilators & emergency care etc)

Hope govt paying oxygen bills
#CancelEverythingNow
#FlattenTheCurve

This is doctors in America trying to learn from experience of Italy

#CancelEverythingNow
#FlattenTheCurve

This will impact old people, sick/immune compromised people & vulnerable people without access to medical care

Only preventive option is SOCIAL DISTANCING

Thread on oil & Gas in #Oman
1-With the passing of Sultan Qaboos on Friday and the choice of Sultan Haitham as the new leader of Oman, Oman #oil policy is expected to remain the same with the aim of increasing oil and gas production within OPEC+ framework
2-Oman producers about to 1 mb/d of crude & condensates. It is also an LNG exporter. Oman is among the very few countries in the world that announces its production figures at the end of every month. Kudos to Dr. Mohammed Al Rumhi, Minister of Oil and Gas since 1997. @Mog_Oman
3-Dr Al Rumhi is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) and Chairman of @OmanLNG
He is also a media darling, especially at the JMMC & OPEC+ meetings. Just ask OPEC journalists.

#Iran has decided to directly respond against the #US assassination of #IRGC commander #QassemSoleimani and #Iraq commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes
#Iran #IRGC cmdr #QassemSoleimani movement was not a secret because it was understood that his killing will create a response.

He was killed in #Iraq by a #US order and #Iran will hit the #US by Khamenei order.

That will drag a wider confrontation

#Iran #QassemSoleimani commander was due to visit #Turkey President Erdogan and had a visit scheduled to #Lebanon.

His trips were known for many. The assassination will not at all affect Iran military and operationally because no one is indispensable.
