1.4 The worrying news in the @mophleb report yesterday was not the record number of new Covid cases. That was expected. It is still early to see the effects of the lockdown, which is relatively working. The worrying news was the reported death of a patient at home, aged 60. 
2.4 That was the 5th reported death at home during the last few days, including a 51 yrs old patient. Circumstances are not clear, but hospitals are working at almost full capacity. Therefore, the agreement yesterday between @mophleb and the private hospitals was much welcomed.
3.4 The agreed new tariffs will incentives the private hospitals to increase their Covid bed capacity. In addition, RHUH will announce a new expansion this Friday. The two field hospitals in Tripoli and Tyre should also be ready soon. All of this is much needed good news.
4.4 Increasing bed capacity will help keep the Covid death rate low. Yet, the aim should be to bring the number of new cases down. That is a major undertaking requiring a longer lockdown. That is not feasible. Covid may slowdown, but it will not go away soon. #WearAMask #StayHome
