details about COVID19 testing

[Prof. Devi Sridhar @devisridhar]

Top German scientists:
1. Herd immunity not possible bc immunity too short.
2. Not feasible to go 'shield vulnerable' approach bc impossible to fully identify & isolate them.
3. Potential serious, long-term damage to young/healthy also from this virus. https://t.co/ETW50WYHAK

Let this sink in, the #UnitedStates with 330 M people spends over $10,000 per person/yr on healthcare has about 6.5x more deaths from #COVID19 than the entire CONTINENT of #Africa that spends infinitely less and has 1.2 billion people. Wow that puts things into perspective.

@Ian56789 @frankgallaghe18 @hughosmond There is not enough statistics to back this claim. Most kids have been in lockdown with parents up to now.

[COVID19_Testing @Covid19Testing]

@hughosmond There are very few stats about kids infection rates because they've been in lockdown with parents most of time. But this did come out today 👇

NEW — In call with Govs, top WH officials conceded sending kids back to colleges had caused the potential for mass COVID spread. They encouraged schools to NOT send the infected students back home, warning of another June-like outbreak.

@s1lentphoenix1 @politi_geek @mijape2012 @sportsfanonly @business There are major factors you've not considered. Sweden has fewer underlying health conditions and fewer multi-person/ multi-generational ppl in households.
They also have universal health care and care home death rates were very bad, much like the UK

@s1lentphoenix1 @politi_geek @mijape2012 @sportsfanonly @business Sweden is not unscathed

@PhilGarber5 @the_stormclam @Hammontreers Remdisivir and dexamethasone have both shown to improve the condition. Hydroxychloraquine has been proven to be ineffective.👇

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Perspective: How high is the death toll from Covid in the United States?
- 4x as many deaths as from suicide, kidney disease
- 3x as many as from flu and pneumonia
- Twice as many as from diabetes
- More than Alzheimer’s, stroke, lung disease, injury (including opiate overdose).

U.S. reports school-related #COVID19 outbreaks, putting world on alert
Among seven outbreaks, four linked to colleges and three tied to primary and secondary schools https://t.co/CkYD0nxqTY

[Dr. Syra Madad @drsyramadad]

Many are experiencing “caution fatigue” a natural reaction “to prolonged stress that leaves us feeling worn out and less motivated to adhere to safety guidelines” but the threat of #COVID19 is real, ongoing and widespread. We must not let down our guard.
