This is a thread of COVID-19 CXR (all SARS-CoV-2 PCR+) from my hospital (Spain). I hope it could help.

Worryingly the coronavirus can remain viable in the air for hours and can be transmitted by people with no symptoms https://t.co/MirBqtbyAp

This is alarming. World’s first systematic examination of antibody levels in patients who had recovered from Covid-19 found nearly a third had surprisingly low levels of antibodies. https://t.co/DxgEzccmWX

14% of the almost 40,000 recorded cases in Spain are health workers. That is around 5 and a half thousand people.

Bullingdon Boris is sacrificing NHS staff. They must be tested asap!

Shocking article in The Lancet.

Patients will die unnecessarily. NHS staff will die unnecessarily. It is, indeed, as one health worker wrote last week, “a national scandal”. The gravity of that scandal has yet to be understood.https://t.co/hGckYmkiT5

Please take this seriously. The failure of the U.K. to take adequate measures to date means that the crisis will be the same as Italy (but increased by a factor of 4-5). Pressure your govt to ramp up testing & begin tracing, otherwise the death toll will reach 1 million. https://t.co/FwRNc1IKgr

The leader of the influential Unite union has today (Tuesday) appealed to the prime minister to act swiftly to clear up the confusion about who can be at work and how insecure and self-employed workers will be supported economically. https://t.co/RMV1IUs4Y5

New Zealand’s death rate is 0.2 per million of population. The UK has/d a death rate of 105 per million.

Disturbing that the shocking figures of our daily death rates in the UK aren’t promoting greater coverage, & probing questions of how this has happened, when we had warning. https://t.co/dxp4DfvdE9

Enraging article by @robert_booth about massive under-reporting of deaths in care homes. These were the people the government said it would protect. Instead, it’s not even counting their deathshttps://t.co/M6ZsALQGkn
