What is this obsession with my bio?

And more importantly, what does it have to do with the cost of medical education across India?

Please enlighten me.

And stop engaging in personal attacks. I have ever brought up anybody's caste/religion in my conversations. Why did you?

So, here's an opinion piece from @WSJopinion.

"A Global Covid Vaccine Heist"

A thread.

wsj.com/articles/a-glo…

1/n
Some background: Many LMIC member nations, including India, South Africa, are bidding the @wto to waive certain Patent Protections on the @pfizer and @moderna_tx vaccines so that they can manufacture the generic versions of the vaccines on their own for wider distribution.

2/n
This is what @WSJ @WSJopinion has to say about it:

"It’s not clear developing countries even have the ability to manufacture large-scale, complex technologies like Moderna’s mRNA vaccine or Eli Lilly’s monoclonal antibody cocktail—let alone distribute them."

Hey #MedTwitter

As promised, taking this thread further, I'll highlight a few more aspects about #COVID19.

A) TRANSMISSION and SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS
B) WHAT IS SUPER-SPREADING?
C) WHAT IS R0?

1/n
A) TRANSMISSION and SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS

So, what are the various mechanisms of COVID-19 transmission?

As defined by the @CDCgov, these are the 3 mechanisms of COVID-19 spread:

➡️Fomites (least important)
➡️Droplet Spread
➡️Aerosol

cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

2/n
➡️Fomites

Fomites are objects or materials which are likely to carry infection, such as clothes, utensils, and furniture.

They were thought to transmit COVID19 as well, but @CDCgov has said that COVID transmission through fomites is minimal.

#COVID19India - A thread for the Layman.

I'll attempt to keep it as simple and concise as possible.

A) Precautions
B) Testing
C) Vaccines
D) ?? Herd Immunity ??
E) ❌ MISINFORMATION/MYTHS/CONSPIRACIES ❌

1/n
A) PRECAUTIONS

The second wave of COVID is here, as states have started entering into lockdowns once more. Adequate precautions are the only way to protect yourself from infection.

➡️MASKS - Any mask will do as long as it covers both your MOUTH and NOSE.

2/n
➡️DISTANCING - Maintain a minimum distance of 2 metres from each other. Avoid unnecessary contact.

With rapidly rising cases, basic preventive measures like Masking and Distancing are as important as Breathing, Eating, Drinking, and Sleeping.

Indian Context - If I were to simplify it,

Those who run the country read the papers they have paid.

Those who think they should run the country read the other ones.

Those who own the country print the papers read by the ones running the country.

Those who wish they owned the country print the papers read by the ones who wished they ran the country.

All of their wives only feature in the respective papers, they don't read anything.

Those who should actually be running the country wish there was a paper worth reading.
And finally, those who should actually be owning the country wish there was a paper worth printing.
