#Social_Cure researchers @UQPsych were asked to come up with some evidence-based tips to help people stay socially connected while physically distanced due to #Covid_19. Here are six that we came up with. Please share and add your own.

[1/n]
1. Connect virtually and connect often. Physical distancing need not mean social distancing and technology is key to this. The best technologies are those where you share a lot of information, involve more than two people, and connect in real time

[2/n]

2. Connect with groups. Research shows that group-based connections can be especially protective in times of uncertainty and challenge. So don’t just use tech to connect 1-on-1, connect virtually with family groups, your yoga group, book club, etc.

[3/n]

3. Try to connect with all the groups in your life, not just the ones that are easy to connect with. Do this by thinking about all the groups you count on and who count on you, and be creative in finding the best ways to connect and support them

[4/n]

4. Connect others. Help those less familiar with technology to get connected and trouble shoot their problems, so that they can benefit from virtual connection

[5/n]

5. Connect and support locally. Support others in your neighbourhood. Who needs grocery shopping? Who needs help getting online? Who lives nearby but feels isolated? Reaching out not only helps others, but will also have health benefits for you

[6/n]

6. Connect with vulnerable people. Helping those who are vulnerable get access to resources and support is vital to the health of society. We are in this together and drawing on—and building—our collective resources will help us get through this.

#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?

I have been working from home since Thursday last week. Here are some of things I’ve found useful and learnt over the last 10 days. This is my to do list 🙃 1/13
1. Move! Learnt this the hard way as it’s easy to sit @ your desk/bed/dining room table for hours. There are a lot of free work out clips on YouTube. I’ve been doing Yoga with Adrienne - some work outs are only 10 mins so perfect for a midday stretch. 2/13

2. Walk outside - get some fresh air while maintaining social distancing 3/13

#COVID19 Testing: Testing is limited. It will, in all likelihood, remain limited. But please, do not fixate on testing. The vast majority of Ohioans who have symptoms do not need to be tested for the virus. If you are feeling symptoms, you should act like you have it.
If you are feeling symptoms of #COVID19 , the most responsible, heroic, patriotic thing you can do is stay home. Your family should stay home. If your symptoms worsen - especially if you have difficultly breathing - you should go to the ER.
We must reserve the testing for those who are the sickest and the most at risk. #COVID19

Just spoke w/ a surg resident from a major program where elective cases R cancelled but resident schedules haven’t been changed appropriately to address #COVID exposure concerns. This resident is expected to TRIPLE SCRUB a case in 2 days. How are people letting this happen? 1/8
As a intern w/ zero authoritative power, I’m incredibly thankful for our chief residents & fellows here @UMichSurgery who have taken it upon themselves to work with faculty & our dept leadership to address this crisis and it’s impact on our health system & day 2 day workforce 2/8
Services are limited 2 only essential “skeleton” team members, usually a chief/fellow + junior resident who round. Residents are not staffing clinics. Urgent/emergent cases are covered by level appropriate residents w/ care to minimize # of ppl in hospital at any given time 3/8

For lots of people navigating working from home for a bit, I know it’s tricky!

I don’t always follow my own advice, but here are a few practices I try to implement myself and with my wee team of remote workers to help us keep things rolling smoothly:
1) Do not, I repeat, do not work from bed. Not even to check emails on your phone in the morning (guilty). Keeping a separate work space helps to not only prevent the overwhelm of work bleeding into personal space, but also helps you get in the zone for doing productive mahi.
2) If you don’t have a separate space to work from, or need to work from bed for any reason, try to establish a separate ritual for getting into work mode - it might be only to work once you’ve had your morning coffee or brushed your teeth, and to put the laptop away at X time.

People don’t understand the single greatest risk of #COVIDー19.

It is The Pinch.

Come along with me while I explain.

This will potentially affect you, your kids, you parents. They don’t even have to get sick. It all has to do with TOO MANY PATIENTS TOO SICK AT ONE TIME.
Here’s what we know. One person in a community gets sick and they infect others. Most people don’t get too sick and they get better.

They are not “safe” though. Read to the end.
