A group of international researchers has raised methodological and data integrity concerns about a recent study on hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine in covid-19 patients, which led to @WHO halting part of its trial https://t.co/R8WG9HYhMp@emahase_
Covid-19 isn't just "you get better" or "you die". My sister is in week 8. Four weeks of high fever, extreme body aches and crushing fatigue. Week 5 the fevers went away but she developed shortness of breath. Week 6 CT scan showed multiple pulmonary blood clots. Now 1/

A cousin of mine will be pulled off of life support tomorrow. She suffered multiple strokes due to complications from COVID-19. She was 44 with no health issues and was a mother and wife and will leave her children motherless and her husband a widow.

My mother just passed away from the coronavirus. I lost my father to the same on Saturday. My brother is sick now too. Can I ask for prayers for my mother, father and brother? I'm so heart broken right now. 💔💔💔💔💔😰😰😰😰😰
My dad is an ICU doctor treating COVID-19 patients. In the past WEEK he has set more “I’ve never seen a heart rate/RBC count/etc. like this” records than in his decades-long career. What this virus does to the body is like “sticking your finger in an electric socket.” Stay home.

People look at New Zealand’s success and try to belittle it as a fluke of geography. But the truth is the countries that have achieved success – from New Zealand to S Korea, from Greece to Austria to Denmark – are all v different places.
Dr. Lorna Breen was medical director of one of NYC's top hospitals.
She killed herself Sunday. She had been talking about how crushed she and other doctors on the frontlines were. She especially noted how hard it was to not be able to save #COVID19 patients. pic.twitter.com/sOFHlAdCoC

It’s not that we hate our kids, is that they have enormous social needs that are usually spread out over peers and teachers and are now concentrated on us and we are also exhausted and sad and some of us are trying to work and some of us are trying to make dinner, it’s so much

#COVID19 is demonstrating how policy decisions of social exclusion, reduced access to free healthcare, and increased inequality will now be felt by all of us.
At these times, it may be tougher for you and your clients/ patients to access your medicines and other medical supplies, but we are here to ensure that you have no worries about that. You started the journey, let us get to the destination together. pic.twitter.com/tik2rKXpf2
20 tankers—filled w/ 40mm barrels of Saudi oil—are headed to the US. This is SEVEN TIMES the typical monthly flow. At the same time, oil futures are plummeting & millions of US jobs in jeopardy. My message to the Saudis: TURN THE TANKERS THE HELL AROUND. https://t.co/gYoQzvHAEQ
Oil prices are MINUS $37. This means oil is just not free, the oil producer will pay you $37/ barrel with free oil. But, in INDIA petrol/diesel prices are one of the HIGHEST IN HISTORY !

I’ve been trying not to say this but the major disrespect we get is from the Nigeria Government.
The Incompetence in our health system became Visible with the Pandemic and now more than ever Doctors should be incentivized but our Minister of Health said it’s their “Standard Job”

Amazing study, supporting droplet (rather than aerosol) as key means of transmission. One asymptomatic person infected 10 (out of 91) at restaurant—but *only* if they were in direct line of air pushed by the A/C. (Aerosol would have infected others, too). https://t.co/j8VXjnWtlNpic.twitter.com/w8yNENCT6M
If any government deserves criticism, it’s China’s. It lied & covered up the spread of the virus, arrested doctors who spoke out..oh, & also keeps MILLIONS of Uighurs in concentration camps!
Oil is almost down to $1/barrel. Since many are not familiar with oil markets, its important to note why this is happening.
The May contract expires tomorrow. If you have a May contract at expiration, you must take physical delivery of 1,000 barrels of oil at Cushing in Oklahoma

Is there anyone in the Wembley, Stonebridge, Harlesden, Willesden or Neasden area who is in need of sanitary products and toiletries? Tampons, sanitary towels and shower gels etc.? There's an organisation called PLIAS who have lots and are giving them away if you cant afford.

Found the kid playing with her dog instead of Zooming with her teacher. She told me not to worry. She took a screenshot of herself “paying attention,” then cut her video & replaced it with the picture. “It’s a gallery view of 20 kids, mom. They can’t tell.” She is 10. #COVID19

My granddad died yesterday from COVID-19. He was an atmospheric physicist and committed Christian who devoted his career to climate justice, including chairing the IPCC and changing the mind of a major U.S. evangelical lobbyist. I want to tell you a bit about his life's work.
Collateral damage from COVID-19 is quite high now as patients with chronic diseases are shunned & healthcare practitioners fear to see “regular emergencies”, every patient being a “covid suspect”. Heart attacks, asthma, diabetes patients now dying while waiting for covid test.😞
Wearing masks in public places is mainly to protect others from you in case you're infected. Not to prevent you directly. But if everyone is covered then we are all protecting each other. Do you get?
When main disease is lower vs upper respiratory tract (ARDS picture) that is where highest #covid viral load will be = ⬆️chance of getting + result from tests. If intubated should always use deep aspirate not pharyngeal swab.
