Thread on how to deal with Covid-19 if you/your family members get infected:
Totally scientific and rational.
My both parents were covid-19 positive before few days and now they have recovered.
Father had mild symptoms and mother was symptomatic. (1/n)

First step is not to get scared if anyone starts developing symptoms.
Quarantine them in a isolated room and give them oximeter along with thermometer.
Second step is keep record of temperature, pulse rate and oxygen level for thrice in a day. Write in notebook. (2/n)

Only one healthy family member, who has good immunity, should come in touch (for food, water etc) with suspected.
Now, monitor temperature for two days. If it is above 100 F then get tested as soon as possible. (3/n)

Fourth step, tips about test.
Refer RT-PCR test over antigen rapid test for perfect results. (Municipal corporations & municipalities do both at free of cost in Gujarat.)
And in private lab, do C-reactionary protein (CRP) test to know infection level.

Five, if you get tested positive but CRP is between 0-5 mg/litre then it means you’re healthy and no infection is in your body.
If CRP is above this then get admitted asap. Don’t waste time.
Another thing is: call and report to local authorities that person is +ve.

Sixth step is to maintain healthy diet. Take fruits, vegetables and especially one which provide good vitamin-C.
If place permits then one should try to sit in sunlight and at the place where good oxygen is available.

Seventh is to take medicines which doctors have prescribed to you.
8th, if oxygen level goes below 95 and temperature stays above 100 F constantly for few days then admission to hospital is necessary.

Ninth step and important step is to get other family members tested. Anti-gen is okay here.
In our case, only father was positive first but mother was detected later because we all got tested.
Mostly, asymptotic cases recover without any medicine but consult doctor. (8/n)

Next step is to wait for 14 days. Meanwhile, if one person is exposing with confirmed then ideally other person should go to markets for necessary items.
Rest should stay in quarantine for safety. (9/n)

Eleventh and final step, keep contacts—medical and political (it works)—handy.
If something unfortunate happens then you must use them rapidly. Will add more if more come in mind. (10/n)

In the first tweet, word is asymptotic. Pardon for typo.
