@UsneJButt We’ve added the Roth Score! https://t.co/mwyXLWIdVw

@mdcalc correct me if I'm wrong but you could call it a rule of 7's. If you can't count for 7 seconds or count to 7 or less, pretty sure you're below 95%.

AHS has developed a simple online assessment tool to help you decide whether you need to call 811 to be tested for COVID-19. It'll guide you to answer questions about your symptoms & take you through steps to help determine whether you need testing. https://t.co/BdqfLt1Gu2

So in ten minutes the evil genius who is one of our GP anaesthetists (with a PhD in diaphragmatic mechanics) increased our rural hospitals ventilator capacity from one to nine!!!

This could not be more true. Need to stay the course.

@WHO, @UniofOxford, @MRC_Outbreak & @institutpasteur estimate that, since 2016, 1465 cases of #MERS-CoV & between 300-500 deaths may have been averted due to accelerated global efforts to detect infections early & reduce transmission. In EID today! https://t.co/qWEAoi2q6Y 1/4

"There is no doubt that we are missing cases," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO Health Emergencies Programme. That's normal, she says, in the early outbreak of a disease but it's important to find them. She stresses it is important to have more testing capacity, not just kits.
