Sequence of Events-Failure of Administration:
1- Entry of Foreigners: "When asked whether the foriegn preachers were not screened at the airport for any COVID symptoms, the official said, “they entered India before the red alert was sounded.”
1/n
 thehindu.com/news/cities/De…
Failure 1- Delay in Announcing Red Alert for screening of foreigners for COVID-19. And if passengers entered before start of thermal screening in Jan 18, then these foreigners who entered before 18th Jan shouldn't be blamed as symptoms of COVID19 starts appearing within 14 days.
So they might had got infected in India. Based on above reports.

(For date of thermal screening, refer ET report below & for official Statement regarding entry of preachers before start of screening, refer The Hindu news above)

As we navigate unprecedented times, we must take unprecedented action to help our residents & our economy now & in the future. That’s why I am launching an Economic Support & Recovery Task Force to help protect Toronto’s economic success in the wake of the #COVIDー19 pandemic.
The Task Force will identify immediate and longer-term economic recovery strategies for residents and businesses, with a focus on supporting those segments of the economy that are most strongly impacted by #COVIDー19, such as tourism, hospitality and entertainment.
The focus of the Task Force will be on quickly determining what current supports and stimulus work needs to be done. The City will be working with industry partners to identify actions to support businesses, workers, and residents in responding to the economic impact of COVID-19.

Learning from the Italy experience; this is why a country like #SierraLeone 🇸🇱 can’t afford an index case of #COVID19

👇🏾👇🏾

Thread:
1) Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 doesn’t have the clinical capacity to deal with #COVID19. Early evidence suggests 10-20% of patients would require ICU admission & 29% developed ARDS. @TweetPaddy had posed this question:
2) In Lombardy 🇮🇹 for instance, the precrisis total ICU capacity was approx. 720 beds (2.9% of total hospital beds at a total of 74 hospitals). We don’t even have a quarter of that number!
