*Treating Covid-19*, a netnographic research in a thread.

a. “I felt better only to be knocked down” — MD and Patient

😱 Hard to feel Covid-19 👉 denial 👉 transmission

🌈 Make people feel Covid-19, expose sounds ("wheezing cough") and images
b.
"No one was answering" — Patient

😱 The health care system, overwhelmed and threatened by contagion, protects itself by rejecting the patient.

🌈 Have the health care systemand the patients “meet again” (©YouKnowWho). Even low-skilled staff can establish/keep contact.
c.
“we’re out of Tylenol” — Nurse

😱 Care (after diagnosis) is about logistics, being prepared, command and control. Failure.

🌈 Rebuild on evidence of what is safe (under uncertain circumstances, the wise path goes further than the critical path). Collect this evidence.
d.
“I could not hug her” — MD

😱 Doctors, patients and families are mourning mourning itself.

🌈 Allow caregivers to keep in touch with their patients until death. (This picture, although Mr Wang Xin was actually out of danger : )
e.
“COVID-19 appears to enter the body using the ACE2 receptor” — MD

😱 Knowledge of the biological process at cell level does so far does not scale up at person level.

🌈 Foster more data-driven approaches, based on DNA, RNA, conditions, usual medications. Ask France for data.
f.
“Ask for one of these drugs if a loved one is seriously ill” — MD

😱 Science is at stake, the criterion for taking a drug or not becomes a highly subjective one (love).

🌈 Validate research protocols answering to the new purpose of fighting off an epidemic!
+ science, not -
g.
“COVID-19 may be an opportunistic virus and may cause your death” — HIV patient

😱 Ignorance of interactions with this novel virus leaves more fragile patients helpless.

🌈 Recruit them as "Resistance" fighters, informants, to help build the missing knowledge.
h.
“no government has any way to make people immune”

😱 Betting on the strength or weakness of Covid-19 (flu/tragedy) really does nothing.

🌈 Rephrase facts&figures about epidemics to make them commensurate with laymen experience.

Graphs are for graduates. Witnesses are heard.
i.
“It’s ok to use tap water”

😱 Infrastructures are broken by the epidemics? We human beings seek a legitimate refuge in cleansing rituals, using basic natural elements.

🌈Introduce effective rituals into popular culture. This can be a sound way to mainstream new behaviors.
Hoping this >summary< encourages to read the full research! Based upon online testimonies + discussions in English about "Treating Covid-19", on 41 social networks or websites, by 402 persons of 25 countries (majority = USA). By DCAP (@diouldeCB) et al 😊
