#COVIDー19 22 March 2020|

IMPORTANT THREAD.

Part 1

There’s important data coming out of Italy on confirmed cases & deaths due to COVID. This should be treated as an Indicator & Warning by all of us. Please watch & share. (Birds chirping in the background for moral support!)
2. #COVID19 Part 2

Reliable data source:

Coronavirus.jhu.edu
3. #COVIDー19 Part 3

Government policy & guidance needs to rapidly turn into a proactive stance to reassure us, the public, that there is a plan. What happens when, and it will happen, we get zero confirmed no new cases?

COVID-19 UPDATE THREAD [March 19]:

Earlier today, Metro Health confirmed Bexar County's first cases of community transmitted COVID-19.

This means that the patients in question were exposed to COVID-19 from an unknown source.

1/13
This is not an unexpected occurrence, as the CDC's testing qualifiers have become less restrictive. Testing "capacity" is not an issue for San Antonio or Bexar County. If your doctor recommends a COVID-19 test, you will be tested.

2/13
With our first identified community transmitted cases, I want to urge all #satx residents to practice all preventative measures.

- ↔ Practice social distancing
-🧼 Wash your hands
-🧴 Clean frequently touched surfaces
-🏠 If you're sick, stay home and call your doctor

#COVIDー19 @ewarren @BernieSanders We need a progressive agenda on epidemics STAT! There is going to be panic, an emergency, hoarding and if Dems in office and Dem candidates do not prepare an agenda that is more than Trump is screwing up then Trump ultimately will win.
1. RELIEF FUND: Until we have univ. health care we need an emergency health relief fund. The # of critical cases, meaning cases requiring significant medical intervention, are more than ten fold the number of deaths. For many this will result bankruptcy levels of medical debt.
2. ER COVERAGE: Health Insurance companies should not be allowed to deny coverage for treatments that are not 'pre-approved' or "FDA approved' as all of the treatment options for severe cases of COVID are 'off-label'

#COVID-19: It’s possible to get infected a 2nd time. People recovered by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart, and when they get it the 2nd time, the antibody makes it worse, and they die of sudden heart failure.

I don't find this unexpected. We had similar results in the study of SARS. Challenge with the virus after vaccination actually made the resulting disease worse. One theory is this may be due to an overactive immune response due to a cytokine storm.
What I find really troubling is doctors in China had to report this anonymously to avoid communist censorship. We are not getting the whole story here. Keep in mind we don't yet know how many cases this involves and we'll have to wait for more case studies in other countries.

Think someone is lying to you?

First check to see if they bothered to add any variability whatsoever in the model they are using to supposedly report actual numbers from a complex system.

#coronavirus
The mortality rate they want you to report is the - 0 day rate: Today's Confirmed Death total minus Today's Confirmed Case total.

This has not varied outside of 1/10th of 1% in the last 5 prints.

#coronavirus
But even a minor adjustment of a few days in the mortality rate paints an entirely different picture

Chinese medical community website DXY.cn (丁香园）maintains real-time updates on 2019-nCov outbreak situation, with reliable news source. Link: 3g.dxy.cn/newh5/view/pne…
Here is a table that translates case distribution reported on the website in English.
Information on the website updated rapidly.
I'll maintain a shared spreadsheet with every 4-hour updates: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

As many has suggested, I've added sheet2 with time-stamped summary for each news report occurred on the website. Surprisingly quite a few confirmed cases have information on travel history and symptom onset (in red).
