Thing I learned today: Proning COVID patients (getting them to lie on their front instead of their back) works really well to improve oxygenation on normal medical wards & has saved a few people from needing to go onto a ventilator!

My stepfather is the CEO of a very traditional old-school 100 person company.

2 weeks ago he did not believe in remote and had not heard of:

Zoom

Slack

Notion

Airtable

Today he declared team productivity has skyrocketed and remote is the future.

Changing tides! 💥

After seeing the thread from the Slack CEO I think I'm going to start a diary. So much is happening, so quickly, and it's overwhelming my working memory, but we're living history in real time and anything not committed to paper or electronic media (and much that is) will be lost.

Best worst question I was asked about COVID today…

If you patient is COVID +ve and farts, is it an aerosol generating procedure?

— Andrew Tagg (@andrewjtagg) March 25, 2020

I don't know who will see this.I worked 12hrs in the ER today.We intubated 5patients.4 people died.Seasoned nurses were found hiding&crying in storage rooms.I'm literally in a war zone & the battle has only just begun.The front line is failing, you guys are on your own now

During lockdown, while many other artists are doing mini-concerts from their homes, I thought I’d do you all a favour and not.

I work+live in #AddisAbaba. I gave my housekeeper double wages this month + will continue to do so until #COVID19 is over. I live alone so she calls me everyday to ask how I am + quizzes me on what I’m eating. Yuneshet is staying home but we are together. #BeKindToEachOther

We are now a monolith. We started with a medical ICU, surgical ICU, cardiac ICU, neurosurgical ICU, and a cardiothoracic ICU, plus a dozen mixed specialty floors. Every floor and unit is becoming a COVID unit. There is no more specialization — we’re all treating one thing.

If we need more doctors and nurses, how about offering a green card to any foreign-qualified medical personnel already in the US who are accepted by a US hospital to help with the emergency?

— Paul Graham (@paulg) March 26, 2020

This Covid-19 will lead to more brain drain of our medical personnel.
The developed countries will invest heavily in healthcare & open up more immigration channels for healthcare professionals…

Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.

I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.

Boris Johnson was joking and messing about 3/4 weeks ago and carrying on as normal.

2 weeks ago, he was still pussyfooting with critical decisions.

Today, he has tested positive for coronavirus.

They’ll be extubating my aunt soon. She’s now considered near the end of life so my uncle will be allowed into the MICU in PPE to be with her when she dies. Delaware has its first COVID death today. Depending on how long she lasts off the vent, she’ll likely be the 2nd. #StayHome

My heart is so heavy right now. We woke up to the heartbreaking news that my grandad had passed away after losing his battle to the virus. He passed away with the shahada on his tongue & my uncles holding his hands until his very last breath. Please keep my family in your duas💔

A lesson from the 2014 Ebola epidemic: If the virus is moving faster than we are, it’s winning. Right now COVID-19 is winning. But if we combine science, leadership and community participation, this is a race we can win. We can’t stop till we get over the finish line.

When this is all over, should we all make it through – most of us…

Simply because I want grandkids who will see me as an OG because their parents would have told them that I survived a global pandemic after letting them watch Resident Evil.
