My friend whose father is in the #ICU with #COVID19 has a request:

***#Hospital ICUs Need Phone Chargers****

Please consider taking 3 minutes to send a charger to your local hospital.

****Please Share This****
[1 of 7]
While we hope the big tech companies will step up and donate phone chargers to hospitals everywhere, please help me get the word out and take action now.

If we each go online, buy a phone charger or two, and have it shipped to your local hospital...

(if that hospital is set up to receive Covid patients), you will be helping those quarantined patients to stay connected to their families as they fight for their lives.

!!!No one even knows this is a problem yet!!!

Only those suffering and dying alone...

with no way to hear from or contact their loved ones, know the extent of this new issue.

Please share this with everyone you know, and if we each send just one phone charger to our local hospital, who knows how many lives we will save just by enabling people to...

hear the voices of their loved ones.

Step 1: Call your local hospital, ask if it has an ICU that will be taking Covid patients.

Step 2: If yes, ask who you can talk to about donating phone chargers to the quarantine rooms in that ICU so that incoming patients can...

keep their phones charged. Find out who specifically to send the chargers to (since you don’t want them lost in the hospital’s bureaucracy.)

Step 3: Go on Amazon (or anywhere else online) and buy a phone charger or two.

Thank you for helping fight this small but important problem - that almost no one realizes exists yet. Who knows how many lives your small act of kindness will touch (or even help save) ❤️

#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?

Lots of talk about the expected surge in ICU and hosp beds with #COVID. I’ve been hearing about reducing elective case burden (great thread from @ajaykirtane about that). We should also be rethinking our hospital approach to conditions that will continue in the covid era 1/n
Most obvious is with #STEMI care. If your hospital doesn’t have an ED bypass protocol for stemis - probably a good time to develop one. Ours at @VHC_Hospital has 1 min pitstop in ed w ems txp to cath lab - less pt exposure time to ED and less burden on ED resources 2/n
Also with #STEMI care - No icu for stable pts w normal EF should be standard. For most of these pts ICU is not necc and creates unneeded exposure for pt and occupies much needed ICU beds. (I think @agtruesdell had a great thread on this a while back) 3/n

Six new #COVIDー19 in bc
2 related to Iran travel
2 in 60s from princess cruise 11-21 feb trip - Fraser health region - stable but in hosp for observation
More may test positive who were on that cruise
2 most concerning - residents of Lynn valley care centre
#bcpoli
Dr Bonnie Henry says the two positive tests in the care home leading to large investigation into residents and workers and what contact they’ve had.
And there are restrictions on that facility now for who is in and out.
#bcpoli #COVIDー19
Four recovered
The icu patient stable
2 I
All others in isolation
Also those with contact in isolation
“We are in an extraordinary situation” - Henry says - if you are sick stay home, keep your kids home.
But know that not everyone who is sick has #COVIDー19

I gathered some alarming information on the rise of #COVID in Iran in this thread. I can see that it has been read by many hence increases my responsibility on what I share now.
As I stated before:

- I am not a trained reporter or journalist
- I am not based in Iran
- Not affiliated with any poilitical group, for or against the government
- Most of my information comes from the internet with occasional conversations with people in Iran
Today I shall try to gather information which I will share in the thread below.
