COVID recovery takes 2-3 weeks
No need to repeat COVID test, labs, CAT scans unless worsening or hospitalized
80-90% patients recover at home without extra oxygen or antibiotics. Longterm effects not well defined...
Remember: If you’re not getting worse, you’re getting better
Chennai TPR at 21.4% stays between 20-22% for last 1 week, active case continues to grow slow stays at 31K last 6 days.
TN TPR increased to 13.3%. TN Active case growth rate reduced in last 3 days.
Testing Increased to 1.3 Lakh and so TN daily case increased to 16K, Chennai 4.6K
Appropriate Oxygen Use
Many doctors don’t realize that...
Excess oxygen can INCREASE mortality by 20%
16,000 patients studied in a meta analysis⬇️
Medical grade oxygen is a drug.
It’s harmful >94-96% range
(Supply shortages must be fixed though)

There is a dip in active cases in Chennai for last 2 days, shown in the graph, its a positive sign, but test positive rate still continues to be at 21% for last 4 days, so daily new cases continues to grow at 4200 per day. We are yet to hit peak but this is good sign. #WearAMask
Treating Severe COVID at Home; No Hospital Beds Available
For countries where systems are collapsing...
Don’t chase Remdesivir or plasma; they don’t reduce mortality
Ask your doctor to consider oxygen support, dexamethasone and anticoagulation AT HOME

On the other side
5) 30-39 age group has highest active case increased from 16.8% to 21.22%
6) 20-29 age increased from 16 to 18%
7) There is increase in 0-9 age group child % cases from 1.16% to 1.8%
The data shows 40-70 has negative growth
3/3 #WearAMask#vaccination works!!
Interesting observation from Chennai Age group of active cases.
There is a significant drop in % of active cases between age group of 40-70 years in last 10 days which could be +ve correlated with vaccination.
1/3
