Today is #WorldWaterDay.
Healthcare facilities need good water, sanitation and hygiene services to contain #COVID19 and prevent and contain future disease outbreaks.
#Handwashing is key to preventing the spread of #COVID19. But 2 in 5 healthcare facilities globally do not have 🧼 and 🚰 or alcohol-based hand sanitizer at points of care. #WorldWaterDay #SafeHands
There is no more critical site than a healthcare facility when it comes to fighting a pandemic disease like #COVID19. Facilities must be able to maintain hygiene to stop further infection. #WorldWaterDay

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

Again, some more thoughts on the rise of remote work with #COVIDー19 . A thread...
Companies who are fully remote or very remote friendly (like @ConvertKit , @basecamp, @zapier ) are likely seeing their investment into remote work validated, as their work is (mostly) unaffected with what is currently going on.
The large tech players (Apple, Amazon, Google, Twitter, Microsoft etc.) have shifted towards remote work for the time being. Who knows if it will be weeks, or even months on that front.

Hi, this is @kevinpatterson. I’m a critical care doctor; I work in an ICU on Vancouver Island, and in the Arctic on the west coast of Hudson Bay. I’ve been thinking a lot about the history of pandemics lately, for all the obvious reasons—and also, about February 15. 1/11
Only six weeks ago, in the last days of January, Wuhan, China was seeing thousands of new cases a day. The hospitals were overwhelmed, and 14% of nurses became infected. It got pretty Dantean. 2/11
On January 23, China imposed draconian public health measures to try and halt the spread. At that point, there had been 517 #COVIDー19 cases in Wuhan, and 17 deaths—on both counts, fewer than America has right now. 3/11

you guys, i’m having a lovely time in my eerily deserted city. i already had covid19 in early feb, i stay stocked up on supplies + i love a reason to knit and read at home all day

i know it’s new to a lot of people, though, so let me be your infectious disease/shut-in guide. AMA
the first thing everybody’s going to want to do is learn how to knit. we’ve all got some long days at home to put in and you can only binge so much tv. knitting keeps you mentally stimulated AND it has a ton of mental and emotional health benefits to ease those pandemic nerves.
the next thing you want to do is buy in bulk and, if possible, get that shit delivered, rather than go to the store.

you live in a small space and can’t store bulk items, you say? so do i. get creative. make it work. you’ll be thankful for that case of tissues later.

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/

#OSHO

The #mind is a #coward, for those who listen to it become utterly cowardly. The mind is not an #adventurer, it is very #cautious. It takes every step with #thinking and #calculation until it is #certain that there is no #risk.
When everything is going good the mind comes in and says "watch out!" Because you listen to the mind's #fears you stop living. The mind would keep you always the same, never taking #risks.

Newness is an #enemy to the #mind, sameness is its #friend.
To #laugh is to #risk appearing a #fool
