#Postlockdown lessons from Europe: If countries can sustain non-pharmacological, behavioral changes, and ban large-scale events, the transmission wouldn’t reestablish the circulation. Via @washingtonpost 1 of n washingtonpost.com/world/2020/06/…
#PosLockdown lesson from #UK: #Adjusted national prevalence of ~8.5% is associated with reducing number of deaths. #herdimmunity isn’t the reason for deceleration. It might mean either virus adapts faster or some are more vulnerable than others; or both? #UK 2 o N

1. Only a small fraction of asymptomatic persons may eventually develop symptoms
2. Asymptomatic persons can transmit SARS-CoV-2 to others, even possibly for longer than 14 days. 3 of N

1. Simple, accurate, inexpensive technology for testing is need of the hour.
2. Innovative tactics will be useful: self-monitoring, smart watches heart rate, crowdsourcing for #ILI surveillance @iaspankajpandey

Evidence from @EricTopol et al suggests sewage monitoring can indicate peaks of SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations precede hospital admission by 3 days. Can be done in India in all the metros. @icmr_nie @ICMRDELHI @MoHFW_INDIA acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2… 5 of N

For six weeks in a row, the percentage of
deaths due to pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19 (PIC) are declining. Yet, the percentage remains above the epidemic threshold of 6.3%. cdc.gov/coronavirus/20… via @CDCgov 6 of N

#PostLockdown lessons from #US: The requirement of hospitalization increases with age. Prioritising hospital beds through realtime data monitoring can help prevent deaths. Free up the beds by home isolation of young people free of comorbidities. 7 of N cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
#PostLockdown lessons from #US: The overall cumulative COVID-19 associated hospitalization rate is 82.0 per 100,000. This will increase as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. This should help plan the resources for surge in cases. cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

Using the US stats, #Karnataka state might require 52000 beds (cumulative) for illness associated with Pneumonia, Influenza and COVID19 related illnesses. Each state should plan for allocating these beds on priority to elderly & for those with comorbidities. 9 of N
