How Covid-19 contact tracing

can help beat the pandemic

How Covid-19 contact tracing can help beat the pandemic

Video        The Guardian        7 May 2020

If the UK government wants

to start easing the country's lockdown restrictions,

it needs to get contact tracing right.

But what does that mean?

What would successful contact tracing

even look like?

Josh Toussaint-Strauss tries to find out

with a little help from Oxford Professor

and infectious disease epidemiologist,

Christophe Fraser,

and the Guardian's UK technology editor, Alex Hern

How The Coronavirus Attacks Your Lungs

How The Coronavirus Attacks Your Lungs

Video        Deep Look        NPR        5 May 2020

The new coronavirus packs a devastating punch.

It penetrates deep into your lungs,

causing our immune cells to go haywire

and damage tiny air sacs – the alveoli –

where oxygen normally flows into our blood.

Coronavirus tests: what they are and how they can help

Video        The Guardian        20 April 2020

There's a lot of talk

about coronavirus testing at the moment,

but some people are getting confused

about what they actually are.

How is the antibody test different to the PCR antigen test?

What do they do? And why are they important?

Josh Toussaint-Strauss speaks with Professor David Smith

to answer some of these covid-19 questions

Why coronavirus mortality rates

are so different

G    9 April 2020

Why coronavirus mortality rates are so different

Video        The Guardian        9 April 2020

How can we understand the risk of death from Covid-19

when there are so many numbers flying around?

Well,

there are actually three different types of fatality rate:

Case Fatality Rate (CFR),

Infection Fatality Rate (IFR),

and Crude Mortality Rate (CMR).

They are calculated in different ways

and tell you different things.

When we know what each means

and how they work,

we learn more about how new infections

like the coronavirus affect us.

The coronavirus

is an oily membrane

packed with genetic instructions

to make millions of copies of itself.

The instructions are encoded

in 30,000 “letters” of RNA

— a, c, g and u —

which the infected cell reads

and translates into

many kinds of virus proteins.

As scientists race to keep up

with the spread of the new coronavirus,

one of the big mysteries surrounding the disease

is where this virus originated.

While the evidence overwhelming points to wildlife,

reporter Emily Kwong with NPR's Short Wave podcast

explains how tracing the origins of a disease like COVID-19

could take years.

A User's Guide To Masks:

What's Best At Protecting Others (And Yourself)

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/07/01/

surgical masks

vs

respirator masks / N95 masks        USA

N95 and other respirator masks

are far superior to surgical or cloth masks

in protecting essential medical workers

against the coronavirus.

(...)

N95 masks

offered 96 percent protection,

the analysis found,

while the figure for surgical masks

was 77 percent.

(...)

The new analysis also suggests

that covering the eyes

with face shields, goggles and glasses

may provide additional safeguards

for health care workers and people

in the community.

The report is among the first to lay out

evidence specific to coronaviruses,

rather than extrapolating from data

on other respiratory viruses.

The coronavirus is thought to spread

primarily through droplets expelled

when an infected person coughs, sneezes,

sings, talks or even breathes.

Some infections may also be caused

by people touching a contaminated surface

and then their mouth, nose or eyes.

Study after study has indicated

that the virus can also spread via tiny droplets

less than 5 microns, called aerosols.

(A micron equals one millionth of a meter.)

But the W.H.O. has so far

not acknowledged this risk

and has not backed

the universal use of masks.

“There’s this fear around saying airborne

— but that’s what it is,” Dr. MacIntyre said.

A recent review in the journal Science

took direct aim

at the W.H.O.’s reluctance on this issue,

saying the organization’s recommendations

for physical distancing and hand washing

were based on studies “carried out in the 1930s.”

The C.D.C. did not recommend masks

till April 3.

Even now, its guidance says surgical masks

offer enough protection for health care workers

unless they are involved

in procedures that produce aerosols.

The C.D.C. initially

recommended N95 masks

for all health care personnel.

Dr. MacIntyre said the agency

later downgraded its recommendations

because of a shortage of N95 masks

and personal protective equipment.

“Guidelines should be based on evidence,

not on supplies,” she said.

“It’s like telling an army,

‘Oh sorry, we’ve run out of guns,

just take these bows and arrows

and face the enemy.’”

She noted that N95 masks

were inexpensive to produce

and that other countries, including Australia,

had repurposed

existing manufacturing facilities

to make the masks.
