Given the full community spread of #SARS_CoV_2, it is time to stop incessant #RTPCR testing in asymptomatic people, so called "healthy sick" , and save resources. Start early Rx with ivermectin+budesonide+Zn+ chicken soup+kadha or whatever in mild to moderate #Covid_19 cases. 1/n
And, reserve #ICUs for serious #Covid patients only. Start triage and stop the use of #Remdesivir and #convalescentplasma therapy ASAP, as it doesn't help save lives. Don't hospitalize maniacs hyperventilating due to fear in the Covid ward and shift them to counseling ... 2/n
.. for managing hyper active state of mind & deactivate their social media accounts + WhatsApp. Public health intervention with #VitaminD 60k once week for 4 weeks starting now and not while patient is sick with #Covid By then it will not help to build adequate VitD reserve..3/n
And, stop putting faulty (0 quality controlled) pulse oximeters (PO) in finger of #Covid_19 patients without respiratory distress or systemic syndromes.The portable PO needs calibration after frequent use. You are lucky, if your SpO2 is above 90% after repeated use of the PO. 4/n
I, myself, survived Sp02 of 84% by putting repeatedly use PO, off course,I didn't take any medications mentioned above. I survived the false reading of the PO, & I am sure, you can too. For doubts on #Covid read journal articles, & not social media posts [End of useless rant]

Let’s talk about #Immunity and #COVID19! In the narrative of an army and enemy.
Our immune system is like an army. Its mission? To protect us from enemies both foreign (viruses and bacteria) and domestic (diseases like cancer).
When the enemy (#SARSCoV2 for COVID19).. 1/n
..enters our body, our army’s first line of defence with army’s surveillance officer (helper T-Cells) are pressed into action. The enemy (viruses) can enter cells by infecting cells directly, leading to replication of virus inside the cells. During this process, 2/n
some of the viral proteins (enemy’s target body parts, usually the brain or heart is better for one-go kill) will be degraded into peptide fragments, which will be recognized by the army’s surveillance officer (presented on these helper T-Cells). 3/n

. @CovidIndiaSeva I beg your kind attention here ! If we look at proportion of #Covid_19india patients on #ventilator support, it is 0.4% to 0.5%, which reflects ARDS due to Pneumonia due to #COVID19 as cause of death (COD) ( @WHO code: U07.1/2)... 1/n
So, around 150 deaths in 3000 projected deaths are actually due to #Covid_19india Epiphenomenon: People with diabetic complications, advanced cancer etc where the main COD is underlying health conditions, but #COVID19 can only be a contributing cause .. 2/n
Vast majority of #COVID19 deaths in India could be an epiphenomenal death only, considering #BCG vaccine induced trained #Immunity (Nature paper link at the end of this thread) that offers protection from severity of #Covid_19india . Why I am saying this is more important.. 3/n

The real figure in Covid-19 is the infection mortality rate (IMR), as I mentioned earlier. Case fatality rate would be higher, as testing in symptomatic cases only will reduce the denominator. Large population testing in Germany showed IMR to be 0.3%.. 1/n Image
Even at 1.3% mortality in Germany where testing included mild cases and 8.7% in UK where testings were done in severe cases, >80% of deaths occurred in persons above 65 years. Add to this, their population >65 years which is between 18% to 20%, ...2/n
..and compare this to India's geriatric population of just over 6%. Taken all these factors, in India, IMR will be 0.09% or even less, which is good for allowing herd immunity with reverse quarantine with least possible population deaths.. 4/n
