Some important things that were clarified by the panel of experts based on international protocols. Thankyou for the initiative @sugandh

- If you get infected after first dose, you could wait for 28 days since first symptom appeared for the second dose - when you take vaccine, your immunity is not lowered - so even if you work in close contact with Covid patients it will be best to get vaccinated at the earliest

- only time to avoid vaccine is when infected (so if you have symptoms of fever, wait till it resolves)

Director of Public Health of Telangana says- Presently there are 28k patients in hospitals in Telangana, of which 45% are from other states. Since morning we gave 5 permits for patients from other states to come for treatment in #Telangana The order is stayed and DPH offered this explanation prior to the HC order. However, 28k patients and 45% from other states is just very shocking statistics. Nationally there is acute shortage of beds and the pandemic is out of every state government's hand clearly

Big relief- #Telangana to prioritize giving 2nd dose of Covid-19.
It will require tweaking in Cowin, so the government is mulling how to prioritize those awaiting the second dose!
- Director of Public Health Dr GS Rao State of Telangana is left with just 3L doses, whereas people wanting the second dose is much higher - nearly 19 Lakhs!

Covid maybe a pandemic, but stigma is a bigger pandemic. As a Covid-19 recovered patient, who unfortunately tested positive again, nearly 30 days after recovery in an RTPCR test, the stigma I faced can't be put to words. Sending others in similar boat lot of *hugs* The worst part about Covid-19 stigma is being unforgiving to your own self. It is a daily battle to convince yourself that you are not infectious and then convince doubtful people around you about the same. Every new person is a new battle and there are more wounds than wins

Covid doesn't have a treatment for a reason- It has so many manifestations happening in no proper order
In my 20 days of symptomatic illness- my sickness ranged from headache- to fever- to losing smell and nasal congestion - to severe diarrhea and dehydration which abruptly ended After recovery, I have funny pains in my calf muscles which is strange because till the day I was symptomatic I had a very active lifestyle with physical activity and now I am unable to climb steps without losing breath. I need 12 hours of sleep and get lethargic without that

The curious case of Basilingappa who have his COVID samples on the 22nd of June at Sarojini Devi Hosp in #Hyderabad and today as he completes 14 days of isolation, he still has not got his results
14 days of living in shadow of uncertainty
@XpressHyderabad
newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderab… His form submitted at the time of sample collection. As you can see 22nd June was when he gave the samples as a GOVT FACILITY. And while officials claim only private labs are having discrepancies, this case says govt labs too need some checking

What the top health officials don't understand is that no one is blaming Docs, nurses and ward boys of Gandhi or any govt hospital. They are all sympathetic to them because they too see the aged support staff struggling to carry files, give them food, clean washroom in heavy PPE People are blaming the administration for not improving the healthcare or recruiting more staff even now during a pandemic. We all know Govt docs are very experienced and prepared for the worst outcomes merely because of the variety of cases they see and the experience they hold

Thought it is needed to put this out there because a lot of misinformation was floating of "negligence"-
Reporter Manoj's death is unfortunate, but the condition he had made him vulnerable and HIGH risk on two levels-

1. His lung muscles were weak due to myasthenia gravis 2. His thymus gland which is located near the throat and chest was removed as a precaution to avoid cancer in future, cos with Myasthenia, chances are that this enlarges and gets cancer. So it was removed

Brick kilns are STILL functioning but labour officials are not visiting them to check for labour violations and payment of wages. The workers from Orissa have no shops in vicinity owing to lockdown and are left with just 12kg rice handouts and Rs500

newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderab… As you can see freshly made bricks placed in sun. The activists who went there say that even if work is being done, officials must ensure checks are done to ensure they are no exploited. One workers roughly earns Rs400 for a week. Hope they are paid @chmallareddyMLA

In a parallel universe, my 14 year old cousin who is now in 9th grade just had her first zoom class yesterday. She has to attend these for Maths, Physics and Social studies and the class goes on for 4 hours with breaks. Yesterday was her first class and this is what transpires- While their 40 something and 50 YO teachers manage to connect to the call, most students take help of their parents to connect online. The initial 10 minutes go away in parents saying-"Lag gaya kya?Madam percentage sikha rahi hai kya? Arreh call mute karna hai kya"..

I usually refrain from posting things that are very personal to me but I found this hidden beauty here in the middle of nowhere in #Hyderabad that blew my mind. It was at an event that observed 110years of #MusiFloods and the activists took us down memory lane literally As you can see its a pathway hidden somewhere amidst the bustling traffic.I admit to visiting old city only for work or for #Charminar & never even noticed this whole beautiful pathway flanked on either sides of #Musi that give a breathtaking view of Osmania Hospital & High Court
