In the face of the #COVID19 crisis, we are all vulnerable. The #coronavirus has shown that it does not discriminate - but many refugees, those forcibly displaced, stateless persons and migrants are at greater risk. bit.ly/2wUAEOD
3/4 of the 🌍’s refugees & many migrants are hosted in developing regions where health systems are already overwhelmed & under-capacitated, & live in:
-overcrowded camps
-settlements
-make-shift shelters
-reception centers
where they lack access to health services, clean 🚰 & 🚽.

The FT trumpet new research, which, according to the FT, shows that the new #coronavirus may already have infected half the UK population. Which would be great news, suggesting very low death rates.

But probably not. (THREAD) 1/

The paper presents results of a standard SIR model of the spread of infectuous disease. The model has two types of input: Empirical data on deaths and assumptions about other parameters. 3/

If anyone has queries on Covid19, please message. Will try to share as much info as possible.
Covid is a NEW virus, which means we have very little natural immunity to it. This is why the spread and severity of the virus is high. If we had been exposed to the virus earlier, or if it had been around for sometime, some amount of immunity would have been present (1)
Having said that, our body often has an inbuilt system to fight infections. So if 100 people are exposed to the virus, all 100 WONT get the infection. Our skin, mucosa and immune system are often the first line of defence against many infections(2)

THREAD - #COVIDー19 #coronavirus #SARS_COV_2 #FLU Do your home work on #VitaminD3 and #VitaminC. Not enough money in it? Why isn’t anyone promoting it? What’s the 25OHD serum levels of those infected or that have died? ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Vit…
As an A1AD carrier and 15+yearly sufferer of chronic #bronchitis needing multiple antibiotics every year prior to ‘09 #swineflu scare - I thought if I got It I wouldn’t survive.
I read up on# respiratory issues and the benefits of #VitaminD3. So I started a 5000iu/day regime in ‘09 raising my 25OHD serum levels to 60 ng/ml. I have not had #bronchitis an antibiotic or the #flu since, no longer needed an inhaler for my asthma. Just wanted to put this out

WHO China joint mission #COVIDー19
COVID-19 is transmitted via droplets and fomites during close unprotected contact between an infector and infectee.

who.int/docs/default-s…
Not major drivers of transmission:
-airborne spread not been reported
(can be envisaged if certain aerosol-generating procedures are conducted in health care facilities)
-fecal shedding demonstrated from some patients, & viable virus identified in limited # case reports.
Household transmission studies underway, prelim studies ongoing in Guangdong est secondary attack rate in households ranges from 3-10%.
As COVID-19 is a newly identified pathogen, no known pre-existing immunity in humans. Everyone is assumed to be susceptible

#Canadians better wake UP! This needs to be RETWEETED to every Canadian! Conservatives, Liberals, NDP & Green. Do you know someone with #Cancer Does anyone in your family have asthma, allergies, pain or obese? If you answered, yes! You have a pre-existing condition! #cdnpoli
Do you work at Tim’s, Walmart or some other job of this nature! Guess what, NO COVERAGE FOR YOU! Do you have a job that is absolutely guaranteed, guess what probably not! NO COVERAGE FOR YOU! Can you afford private insurance premiums, $500-$1000 per person, A MONTH! #cdnpoli
Are you willing to bet your child’s life on voting #CPC or for Max Bernier who said he’s ending socialized medicine? Are you willing to bet your life? How about your parents? You better realize ELECTIONS have CONSEQUENCES! #cdnpoli

I had another life-threatening heart/lung episode today.
I'm not sure how much of it had to do with my cutting my heart meds back to once a day while appealing the increased price by my health insurance from $120 for 60 pills to $1k for 60 pills.
We had to call 9/11.
Scary.
1/
I couldn't afford to go to the hospital--when you call 9/11 the city charges you $1,200 for the trip to nearest hospital.
They only accept cash.
The EMTs checked me out, told me to take the heart meds the way they were prescribed, established I wasn't in VFib, just SVT AFib.
2/
So all day, instead of doing work that needs to be done, I have been trying to get my heart rate under 140, which given my lung meds increase my heart rate, has been more work: breathing exercises my PT taught me, single nostril breathing @HillaryClinton taught me (try it).
