The Good Doctor : Continuing Lockdown will devastate India

My thoughts on #lockdownextension

I sincerely believe we will end up with more suffering & deaths due to hunger than Corona if Lockdown continues!! kaalateetham.blogspot.com/2020/04/contin…
Epidemiologist: Coronavirus could be 'exterminated' if lockdowns lifted

This seasoned epidemiologist has the same opinion as mine.

Let the young out, let there be herd immunity. By keeping them in lockdown we are prolonging the duration of pandemic wnd.com/2020/04/epidem…
Has Sweden Found the Right Solution to the Coronavirus?

I agree with Sweden's approach of keeping only the vulnerable in safety. Their method has not left a deep crater in their economy.

I suggest our govts should check out how it works & implement it nationalreview.com/2020/04/corona…

I have been following a group of friends who are first responders & in frontline of management of C19 patients in EU & US

The understanding we are gaining everyday in fighting this disease will change the way we manage critically ill patients in Respiratory ICU forever.
1) We need not intubate patients going by conventional wisdom. Doctors who delayed intubation have saved more lives than those who were sticklers to conventional wisdom

2) Dehydration methods probably help like in High altitude pulmonary edema. It was tried with some success
3) Taking sick ARDS patients prone is a widely accepted strategy. We already had some data that taking patients prone without intubation in acute respiratory illness will help improve sats.

Post C19 I am certain, we will have a deluge of papers suggesting non intubated prone

Dear Prime Minister @narendramodi

I know you must already be thinking about planned relaxation of lockdown. I have few inputs to give you.

Barring a couple of CMs most are incompetent, therefore it becomes your burden to take care of the poor. Also people believe in you.
I propose a staggered relief in lockdown.

It should be based on sound medical thought process.

In the first stage it should be only for those less than 30yrs + no co-morbidities who do not have any symptoms of Covid19. Let schools & colleges open after testing teaching staff.
The first stage must be monitored thoroughly so that if there is a significant spike in cases it can be withdrawn.

The second stage should start after 10 days to 2 weeks & the relief should be for those aged between 31 to 50. Same protocol must be followed in 2nd stage too.
