Growth in cases of unknown origin signaled to public health officials Americans are being exposed:
-at work
- shopping centers
-travel hubs
prompting #StayAtHome orders. Recent cases: IL civilian worker at an Air Force base, Episcopal priest in TN & 10 Los Angeles firefighters.
When the coronavirus began spreading in the US the vast majority of cases were in coastal states.

This week, all states have reported alarming new statistics. New cases and deaths concentrated in the Midwest’s largest cities: Cleveland, St. Louis and Omaha.
If your community is affected, help reduce your risk and do your part to protect others . Prepare your family, and communicate your plan. Experts suggest stocking at least a 30-day supply of prescriptions. Consider doing the same for food staples. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Ethics manual of @ACPinternists states: “the ethical imperative for physicians to provide care” overrides “the risk to the treating physician, even during epidemics.”

(Physicians) try to balance obligations as professionals w/their duties as husbands, wives, parents & children.
The risk to personal health from the coronavirus is alarming enough, but risk of infecting our families because of exposure on the job is for some unacceptable. Rates of infection among hcw ~14% of confirmed cases in Spain- risk of transmission to our loved ones not insignificant
👉Health care workers should not be forced to incur additional risk because people don’t want to practice social distancing (vacationers flocking to Florida beaches during spring break come to mind). nytimes.com/2020/04/02/opi…

At the peak of its epidemic, Wuhan required 2.6 beds in ICU for every 10,000 adults. Italy has less than half that capacity. Some low-income countries have just 1/100th of Italy’s -1 ICU bed per million Many more people may die than in the countries hit hardest so far.
Snapshots of four countries — Nigeria, Peru, El Salvador and Kenya — provide a look at the next phase in the pandemic, as the battle moves to low- and middle-income nations that are struggling to contain the coronavirus before it gets out of hand there
As number of cases rises in low- and middle-income countries, cracks are beginning to show. Although some nations have acted quickly by imposing restrictions, they are hampered by economic, social and political factors that could weaken their defences. nature.com/articles/d4158…

THREAD: The issue of #coronavirus and #TablighiJamat has taken a predictable turn. Not to re-litigate the arguments, there is definitely a selective justice component here and media is blaming the entire community. Something to distract from the GOI cluster-eff on #COVID19. 1/n
If Kejriwal is keen on filing FIRs against people who allegedly violated instructions of Mar 13, there are other religious gatherings that should come under the scanner. Tablighi Jamat seems to be a convenient scapegoat at the altar of colossal mismanagement. 2/n
At the same time, Tablighi leadership is not without faults. Even when GOI itself announced on Mar 13 that #COVID19 wasn’t a health emergency, Maulana Saad should have considered Markaz operations in light of global situation for three reasons. #NizamuddinMarkaz

Pakistan welcomes the re-election of India PM Narendra Modi to a second term. He makes Indian history. In this #thread, I explain why Islamabad is pleased to see #Modi win & how a historic opportunity emerges to resolve #Kashmir, make peace./1
Ahmed Quraishi @AQpk #AhmedQuraishi
During the dogfight over #Kashmir skies in Feb 2019, when a #Pakistan-#India nuclear war became a possibility, unprecedented international diplomatic intervention diffused tensions & averted war. But unlike previous crises, many things changed this time. One: world listened to
#Pakistan this time instead of just listening to #India. The 6-times smaller country was always smothered under the attention that India received globally. This time, #NewDelhi overreached, crossed int'l borders to conduct airstrike inside Pak. Strike failed, pilot captured.

#Pakistan should de-link #Palestine & #Kashmir, and #Israel/#India, in its foreign policy dictionary.

The foreign policy overhaul should cover this subject smartly, rationally, and with focus on maximizing #Islamabad's gains and limiting losses. /1

#AhmedQuraishi @AQpk
We in #Pakistan have grown used to casually mentioning #Palestine/#Kashmir & #Israel/#India in a way that hurts our position, limits our options, and leads us to inaccurate conclusions and policy positions. It's more emotion and less logic. /2

@AQpk
#Palestine & #Kashmir are two different conflicts/disputes legally & politically, with separate trajectories, solutions & end results. Pal/Isr reached peace agreement & recognized each other in 1994; differ now on implementation. Kashmir is invasion/occupation/annexation./3

🇮🇱🇮🇱THREAD ON ANTI-SEMITISM & ISRAEL🇮🇱🇮🇱

Those who conflate opposition to unquestioning support for Israel with anti-Semitism are like #JussieSmollett: they cheapen the experiences of actual victims of anti-Semitism
Let's be clear, anti-Semitism is real and, sadly, it's on the rise in the U.S., especially since the 2016 election. According to the Anti-Defamation League, there was a 60% increase in anti-Semitic incidents from 2016 to 2017.
adl.org/news/press-rel…
The massacre at the #TreeOfLifeSynagogue last fall was the deadliest attack on the American Jewish community in U.S. history. And it was committed by an anti-Semitic white nationalist.
