How many people have tested positive for #covid19?

It’s time for you to stop asking this.

We are in a new phase of this fight. Only one thing matters now: treatment of the gravely ill. That means we need a whole new set of measures. The old ones are holding us back. 1/
There was a time when we desperately needed to ramp up broad testing. When confirming cases allowed us to track the progress of this deadly epidemic. But we failed in the containment phase, and that time has passed. 2/
We didn’t test enough when we needed to. And now we are over testing and it’s causing us harm--bringing people out of their home to spread the virus, burning through precious protective gear, and diverting staff from acute care. 3/

If you are still fighting for wide-spread testing.

If you are fighting for mobile testing, drive-through testing, walk-in testing.

Then you are fighting the wrong fight.

That fight is over.

And if it continues it will harm public health. 1/
First and foremost, for someone with mild #covid19 symptoms (high fever, dry cough), a positive test gives ZERO useful information. It changes nothing about the course of treatment. They should rest and heal at home. A test result doesn’t change that. 2/
And there are many other problems with pushing wide-spread testing:

* You are telling people with #covid19 to travel to a testing site, potentially exposing others

* You are sending healthy people out to a place where they could get infected 3/

The public’s understanding of the purpose of Covid testing at this stage of the crisis is upside down. And it’s dangerous.

There was a time when we needed to test as many people as possible to identify, trace & contain individual cases.

In places like NYC, that time is over. 1/
Because we now have “community spread” here, we are in an entirely new phase.

We are staring in the face of an epic overrunning of our healthcare system. We need to preserve EVERY element of this system for people who are acutely ill. 2/
If every person who feels ill or thinks they were exposed to someone with Covid tries to get a test it will push the healthcare system to the breaking point.

At this point, testing--and the staff, facilities, and resources around it--needs to be reserved for the ACUTELY SICK. 3/

#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?

Existing protocol from the report published in The Hindu on 6th said that each individual showing symptoms were to be tested on Day 0, and Day 14.(Incubation Period)

Report: thehindu.com/news/national/…

#COVIDー19
Current stats available at the Ministry of Health Affairs website is as follows:

Confirmed Cases: 83
Cured/Discharged: 17
Deaths: 2

Demographic breakdown by Age for India and Italy, and Death Rate by Age for #COVID19.
#CoVID19

Global Case Fatality Rate (CFR): 3.5%
[(3800 deaths / 110,000 confirmed cases) X 100]

1. CFR will come down as more people are tested.
2. Unlike flu, CoVID19 has to be tested. Millions may have it but recover without having gotten tested, i.e. CFR may be inflated.
As PM @narendramodi said: "Say no to panic, say yes to precaution".

My views on #CoronavirusPandemic, on @TimesNow with @PadmajaJoshi. Please do watch. #IndiaQuarantinesCorona

Day 8 of aggregating information on what goes on with #COVIDー19 in Iran.

Picking up from yesterday:

As stated before:

Finally authorities are putting Mazandaran province on quarantine: only fuel and food trucks are allowed. This late, its effectiveness will be limited.

The same authorities have had argued for quarantine to be "non-scientific" and "from middle ages".
