#COVID__19 #BengaluruLockdown should open the window of opportunity to ensure 1. We can save more lives 2. We can fight the panic, both interlinked.
If neither nor, then we would have done nothing but harm.

2/n
@BBMPCOMM @DHFWKA
1. Need experts + feet on ground who can contact trace, crunch data and use it for capacity building
2. Stop spending energy on spraying, sanitising = 100Mi viral particles can fit in on a pin head!
3. Focus on people - triage - get beds

4. Do not demonise any healthcare sector: Find a way of working together
5. Do not lose HCW it will deepen crisis - ensure beds, insurance for them and their families
6. Crowded places = clusters - lead by example go digital for everything from meetings to press briefs

7. Capacity build: 30K tests per day, 1000 more ICU beds, 25K CCC beds
8. Door to door mass screening+testing - home isolation at least 50% of cases. Non ideal home = community CCC (stadia, BIEC etc)
9. Criminal action on people flouting (parties etc)

n/n
Prepare, capacity build, work together, work smart.
Do not #Lockdown the window of opportunity, there will be no doors left to close.
