The good work by Governments doesn’t get recognized often. Here are some of my observations. Please add yours

Amazing work by @gokRDPR
The preparedness of the RDPR including GPTF to combat #covid19 is amazing.
Congratulations @lkatheeq @readingkafka and team.
#goodworkofGovts

The response by @DHFWKA @Comm_dhfwka @iaspankajpandey @BBMPCOMM ensured that Bengaluru is least affected when other major cities in India are having higher burden. Bengaluru’ has emerged as a clear leader in #COVID19India response. #goodworkofGovts

The Andhrapradesh response seems to be much under appreciated. Leadership of @RameshPV2010 Mr Jawahar Reddy has ensured AP to mount one of the best response in short time; syndromic surveillance, enhanced testing, mobilization of volunteers & better containment: #goodworkofGovts

@manigreeva

. @CovidIndiaSeva I beg your kind attention here ! If we look at proportion of #Covid_19india patients on #ventilator support, it is 0.4% to 0.5%, which reflects ARDS due to Pneumonia due to #COVID19 as cause of death (COD) ( @WHO code: U07.1/2)... 1/n

So, around 150 deaths in 3000 projected deaths are actually due to #Covid_19india Epiphenomenon: People with diabetic complications, advanced cancer etc where the main COD is underlying health conditions, but #COVID19 can only be a contributing cause .. 2/n

Vast majority of #COVID19 deaths in India could be an epiphenomenal death only, considering #BCG vaccine induced trained #Immunity (Nature paper link at the end of this thread) that offers protection from severity of #Covid_19india . Why I am saying this is more important.. 3/n

@TFinMedia

#Thread

What are MSMEs? And why did the #Government set aside ₹3.7Lcr ($49bn) for #MSME support?

As the name suggests, #MSMEs (Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises) are small businesses. Their definition varies by country.

In India, the definition was changed last week.

1/n

Previously, MSMEs were defined according to investment in plant/machinery (if they were in #Manufacturing) or investment in equipment (if they were in #Services).

It went like this:

Last Wednesday, @nsitharaman announced a new definition for #MSMEs. Manufacturing & Services were clubbed and a new parameter - annual turnover - was added.

Now it goes like this:

In last four days of announcements, we have had several reforms addressing the land, labour, liquidity and laws. We will be continuing that series: FM

My covid-19 experience.
A thread.
I live in Anna Nagar West, Chennai.
Only my mom goes out twice a week to buy groceries within 500 m radius.
She took utmost care by wearing mask and avoiding crowded stores.
But as life is unfair, she got the symptoms on the night of 9 May.

She had fever, cough and body pains intermittently and was convinced it's cuz of her eating a chilled mango. My bro too had a fever during a night but recovered soon. On 11th night, she had a temp. of 102 which prompted me to take her to a pvt lab to get her tested for covid-19.

We were sure it'd be -ve but the lab sent an email saying she is POSITIVE. We were devastated cuz we didn't know how she got it. We are a family of 4. Mom ,grandma, me and my bro.(And a dog). We were more worried about grandma cuz she is 81 yr old diabetic and heart patient.

KL has flattened it at least for now. RJ, MP, UP, AP, shows good improvements. TS numbers, though seem to suggest a flattening, is suspect due to very low tests. Major spikes in TN, TR etc. DL numbers come with one day lag. #Covid_19india

Doubling time is close to 11 days for India now. But, it is only about a week or so in Bihar, TN & MH where cases are growing rapidly. #Covid_19india

WB, MP, TS & PB are doing very low number of tests per million population and the percentage of tests turning +ve is high there. They need to do more tests. Else, the actual number of cases may be under reported. #Covid_19india

So far, actuals are tracking estimates.
I anticipate Total cases to hit 30,000 by around 27/28th, by which time the total Recoveries will cross 8000.
#COVID2019india

https://twitter.com/PM_Travel_Tours/status/1252081262828781571

Okay,so the Delhi data is validating an earlier hypothesis: Curve on Active Cases [Green line] starts flattening at ~4% growth rate in Total Cases [Blue line]. Starts reversing if sub 4% is sustained for coupla days

Hv to check if this is the case in TN as well.
#Covid_19india

Checked for TN. Pattern holds.
Active cases begin to plateau out & drop when the growth in total cases falls to 4% and below.

So then,per my estimates for #India [see tweet above in the thread], we should see the plateauing out of active cases sometime around 7th May.

CM #UddhavThackeray: But this enemy is invisible. And another factor is that this enemy is using our own people to spread its infection. Determination, strength, patience all of these will stand us in good stead.

CM Uddhav Thackeray: Tomorrow we will complete 6 weeks since we have been in a #lockdown. Many are constantly looking at numbers and raising questions so I want to place some numbers in front of you.

The government is mulling a cash transfer scheme for migrant workers affected by the national lockdown amid growing restlessness among such workers across the country. #Covid_19india #MigrantWorkers #coronavirusindia #COVID__19

business-standard.com/article/econom…

Last week, the central government had told the States to collect the data of migrant workers, including their bank account and Aadhaar details. The exercise had also sought to map the migrant pattern.

business-standard.com/article/econom…

On Monday, the Union labour ministry held a meeting with labour officials of states asking them to expedite the process of collating the data. The labour ministry sent another reminder to all states on Tuesday after PM Modi’s address to the nation, according to govt officials.
