@BBMPCOMM @Captain_Mani72 People are coming from BBMP and taking house data .Asked my Mother to open door and "come close" Mother refused to come outside but talked through window and outside gate- She has been in reverse quarantine since Feb first week
She gave details of member and was asked her phone number - she gave it. Now today she gets a message that she has been in contact with a positive person (physically impossible).We have not even allowed my Uncle in home and both my Wife and I are Professors in SJIC
The message came from VM -KARONE. It is a blatant lie as she has not come in contact with anyone. We wear masks at home and practice reverse quarantine and Wife and I are tested and we go to work in full PPE !! My Mother was distraught as she is a perfectionist
and said that she has not moved outside at all and listens to every word that I have advised religiously and has not ventured outside. We are not allowing our servants at home and paying their salaries even though they do not enter the house.
If BBMP want to mass test let they be upfront and tell they want to conduct mass testing but sending false messages like this is wrong. Arogya Setu of my Mother is green. I am a cardiac surgeon & my Wife & I follow strict practices to go and reenter my house with full protection
WE wear full PPE to go to work. WE wear goggles gloves masks etc and I know what is the responsible behaviour needed to be done(I have published on cough spread and have put PPE training videos on youtube). I was shocked to see this blatantly wrong message which is a lie
If BBMP wants to meet targets they should do it transparently and honestly. Doing like this is blatantly wrong and builds distrust. This happened in Ward 77. Please take necessary action t avoid building distrust.
If it can happen to a medical professionals family like me then guess what will happen to others ?
I have photographed the messages and can send them by DM if required.
Meeting testing targets cannot be at the cost of honesty and transparency
Just FYI my Mother is not an uneducated Lady but was running an independent Biochemistry Lab till she retired.

@ShamikaRavi We have faced vaccine hesitancy for years. When we used to go for polio drives in the 80's we have faced the whole gamut of running away hiding etc to attacks - that is reality. vaccinators face. You wonder why they are hesitant for door to door campaigns
@ShamikaRavi Doctors Nurses ANM's and vaccinator's etc have always been soft and easy targets. When we were young we went with zeal thinking we are making a difference till we saw first hand what our teachers warned &taught us how to be on guard. Those lessons remain with us till today.
@ShamikaRavi So people need to really appreciate the vaccination teams who go all out to actually make a difference. When 60+ and 45+ with cpomorbidites were allowed we used to beg people to take the vaccine &utake was poor - guess what these were cardiac patients who would benefit the most

I am putting up the banthat Twitter unilaterally put up when I called out @chetan_bhagat for his mischievous statements regarding COVID.
Guess what - Twitter thinks its OK to promote COVID misinformation if it a blue tick writer but bans people without recourse to defense and acts as judge jury and executioner. So much for freedom of speech @jack @TwitterIndia You are welcome to permanently ban me
if you find it offensive !! However I am not defined by my social media preence. Maybe @jack thinks he can con people by selling a teweet but at the end of the day it is vapour ware. There was a Yahoo and Altavista etc What are they now ?

The one thing that seems to matter to prevent significant fall in saturation is timely initiation of steroids. Early initiation harmful late initiation useless.
Saturation monitoring after6 minute walk test has to be practiced from day 1-8 post first symptom. Sats drop from day 9 to 11 typically and rapidly. Initiation of inhaled and sos oral steroid a have caused a dramatic reversal in sats in such patients PROVIDED
PROVIDED it is initiated during this rapid descent in sats. Initiation at this stage. Initiation too early is harmful late has no benefit. Hitting at sweet spot causes rapid reversal but must be monitored. Seen people we say in an hour to below 92 but pick up if started faat

Have you made your evacuation plan if you need 2 go 2 Hospital ? Large paper with SRFID(&BU number in KA) emergency contacts 2 set of clothes underwear. Phone chargerAdequate Data plan. Ready cash for emergent payment credit/debit cards etc. Dropping saturation is not time2 do it
One home quatantine family started getting aggressive when I told keep thise ready ! Do you want to be a chicken running aimlessly when the hawk is approaching. Fright Flight or **Fight**. Choice is yours. Fighters survive as you cannot Flight or be frightened here.
Never be aggressive to a care gives. Survival depends on hearing him/ her. If you antagonize you are @ loss. Difficult thing to explain but remember Mareechis advice to Ravana-its easy to find sweet talkers but difficult 2 get a person to tell & listen to bitter truth-Raghuvamsha

Let this be clear viral transmission is not magical- host and recipient have to come into sufficient contact and exchange of virus has to occur for disease transmission If transmission occurs - a host recipient & conducive situation to interact and exchange has to be present
Every case that spreads is a breakdown of this . In whatever manner. Unfortunately unless you are on guard - there are many a slip between the cup and the lip.
As a fully vaccinated person with neutralizing spike protein specific antibodies I am still afraid. Really afraid - it is animalistic behaviour - eternal vigilance.

See the way toolkitters are throwing dung around hoping something sticks !!
You should see the troll tweets that I get and some comments saying - he may be a Doctor but ...... (some nonsense) Sorry If medicine was so simple you would be operating looking at a YouTube video. Try learning to swim using a YouTube video for starters.
I used to try to educate but you can only put only so much lipstick on a pig. I now just ignore. If toolkitters spent half their time actually promoting safe practice encouraging vaccination of elders when it mattered(instead of crying hoarse now) we would have been far better
