**3 must remember warning signs**

- High grade fever even after 5 days
- Increasing dry cough while sleeping,talking
- Exhaustion,exertional dyspnea (worsening from before)
*3 reasons for late presentation*
- Attributing fever to post vaccination and waiting( post vaccination fever is never more than 48 hrs)
- Using DOLO/PCM 6 hrly x 1week as a drug, masking fever
- Wrong timeline, reporting testing day as day 1, not onset of symptom.

#VaccinationForAll
The @MoHFW_INDIA has allowed on-site registration for the 18-44 age group. This is limited to Government #COVIDVaccination centers (CVCs) at the present moment.

#cowinregistration #VaccinationDrive #COVID19 #IndiaFightsCOVID19 Image
But this is a mere eyewash because-
1.This has been left to the discretion of the respective state/ UT governments
2.This shall be implemented only if vaccine has been left unutilised from online registrations and that too at Government CVCs.
#VaccineFor18Plus #VaccineForAll
While this has been stated in a press release, the #CoWIN websiteā€™s FAQs still state that online registration is mandatory for 18-44 age group.

Pneumonia findings in #COVID isn't due to the virus.Its the Antigen-Antibody reaction that is causing blockade of blood vessels in the lungs leading to opacity n affecting the exchange of Oxygen ultimately leading to Drop in Saturation.Understanding the pathogenesis is important
Hence usage of Heparin(Anticoagulant) to avoid blockage and Steroids(Dexa for Mild cases and Methylprednisole for severe cases) to stop the Autoimmune attack is important.

Both should be used at a right time but definitely in the first week of symptoms.

#COVIDEmergency
Steroids use in the first week with mild symptoms will prolong the disease period affecting the viral clearance from the body and cause deleterious effect.

Steroids is a wonder drug only when used at a right time.

This is irresponsible.

More so, this is a sales advertisement that claims health benefits, but has very little scientific evidence to recommend

This is a business tweet

Benefits of eucalyptus oil in humans 4 inhalational purpose is not scientifically proven

Let us discuss

1/
Eucalyptus oil is an essential oil.
Why is it called essential?
It is just falsely named so, to impress on the user.
They are absolutely not essential


2/
There are no humans studies done on eucalyptus oils - as inhalational agents or in other forms to showcase its health benefits.

Very low quality cell, tissue, human data as antibacterial and opiniated reviews on eucalyptus oils exist in literature

He has not received any intimation on whether he was positive. This is how the system works....

This is an eye opener. What action are you going to take, what remedial measures

Who said #hesitancy was not a prob? My comorbid wife delayed taking shot by a month. Sr citizen neighbour pastered doctor son against vaccine. #Covaxin was not mocked? It was done till early April. Hesitancy was so common that bengal went slow on covax indent 1/n
Why all health staff, Sr xitizen didn't queue up 4 #vaccine in Feb-March? Centres wr idle. Data proves, Thr ws not equal push from all states either. All rushed 4 vax as #SecondWave struck. As in end April 50% on queue for vax wr above 60. This contributed to overcrowding. 2/n
Yes thr is now a #VaccineShortage. But part of it is perceived. Do we have enough manpower & other necessary infra to inoculate 3 USAs (90cr adult) at one go? V got feb-april. Cud USA vaccinate all in 3 months? On April 18, only 50% Americans wr vaccinated. De started ahead. 3/n

Suo motu case on #COVIDEmergency commences in the #SupremeCourt with SG Tushar Mehta saying all efforts are being made to comply with the court order to give #Delhi its 700 metric ton of #Oxygen.
#SupremeCourt, however, questions Mehta why the Centre argue before the #DelhiHighCourt that 700 MT wasn't the number fixed by the top court. It adds it was only after this denial by the Centre that the contempt notice was issued.
Centre's formula on allocation of #Oxygen has to be more scientific; it is too general at present, notes #SupremeCourt, asking SG till the time a better formula can be evolved, Centre should inform how it will cater to #Delhi.

So mucor is on the rise, time for a quick revision. A short thread for those interested.

It's a bad infection with an unreasonably high mortality(40-80%) which depends on the organ involved.

Risk factors: DM/ neutropenia/ HSCT

DM=rhino-orbital mucor
Neutropenia=pulmonary mucor
Mucormycosis is caused by fungi of order "MUCORALES" which includes rhizopus/mucor/licthemia/cunninghemela species. But DON'T WORRY species identification doesn't change treatment so we don't need to get to that.
Coming to the PRACTICAL POINTS that need to be remembered.

āž”ļøIMAGING even at the slightest suspicion of mucor coz it's RAPIDLY PROGRESSIVE and kills quick.

āž”ļøCT PNS/Orbits/ MRI Brain
āž”ļøHRCT chest as per presentation
