CoronaVirus in Bangladesh - Updates & Discussion

[UKBengali]

We don't know.

The US is woefully unprepared at the federal level.

Local authorities are variable in terms of their preparation.

Where I am there are no confirmed cases but IMO we are UNDERTESTING.

I do know family members who are taking care of positive patients elsewhere in the US.

Don't count on higher temps slowing things down.

Right now the best thing is to socially distance and assume you have it in order to slow the spread.

Also, younger people need to take this seriously and buy in to the social distancing.

I work on the front lines and we have already had suspected cases but nothing confirmed as of yet.

This will change.

Also @Nilgiri F=CK YOU.

We know that warmer temperatures by themselves do not slow down the rate of spreading of the virus as Australia is still warm and it has spread like wildfire.

BD has both warm and dry conditions(Australia is very humid) for next two months and I have read that is the precise conditions that viruses do not like - let us hope this is right as BD is full of retards that have mass 25,000 people congregations and families packing beaches while the government just lets them!

Looks like the only thing that may save BD now is the weather as the country and people are acting like this pandemic does not exist!

Listen don't count on the weather.

The best thing people can do is to stay away from each other, wash hands, dont touch face etc...

Temp and humidity may degrade the envelope theoretically but we don't know by how much or if it all.

Assume the worst with this.

Most people are morons unfortunately.

Also, be careful in the UK, they seem to be going the herd immunity route.

As for UK, the death rate has gone over 100 and it is going up exponentially and finally the government is taking some serious action.

Schools will be closed from this Friday for an indeterminate time and they may even "lock-down" the capital London as that seems to be the epicentre of the outbreak.

Government already advising people to wash hands, don't touch face and avoid public places like bars, restaurants and cinemas. A lot of these places decided to close anyway as they have lost all their customers. Roads are not busy during rush hour as a lot of people are either stopped working or working from home.

The "herd immunity" approach has been abandoned after a computer simulation said 250,000 will die and overwhelm the health service.

I think the plan now is to suppress it and wait it out till a vaccine is developed.

Stay safe inshAllah bro.

 

[UKBengali]

Stay safe inshAllah bro.

And you too.

Has that Orange Orangutan finally decided to treat
Corona as the deadly threat it is?

 

[Avicenna]

And you too.

Has that Orange-Utan finally decided to treat
Corona as the deadly threat it is?

He is such a putz and has been exposed as such.

Now trying to change his tune but too little too late.

 

[LuCiFeR_DeCoY]

Dude, they specifically mentioned not to come to the hospital with the disease, it will infect others... call in hotlines and they’ll come for you. 2k in quarantine. 10 in isolation, 3 recovered
What more do you want?

What more do I want? probably a little care, treatment, sincerity from the regime government! It too much to ask from a authoritative government, I guess.
They aren't taking any call. If someone contact them they say they don't have testing ability as they only test patients who came from abroad.

The news says Family of the patients said she died from corona virus, I will take their words over Hasina's authoritative regime.

 

[LuCiFeR_DeCoY]

Sheik Hasina's authoritarian and incompetent regime hiding it...

No Hospital is admitting patient with pneumonia in Bangladesh, Government says they dont have the capacity to check Corona Virus
Sad News coming out from social media,

My very close girlfriend's father passed away this morning.
When he was admitted to the hospital with Uncle's pneumonia, all the privateers returned him (because they were convinced that Uncle Corona was infected and no test kit was in the hospital. He did not get enough protection from the government to go to such a patient) and the government did not approve. Hospitals for patients will not be admitted without IEDCR test report. Uncle's ambulance, taken from the street to the house, leads to a further decline in Uncle's physical condition. Uncle needed ICU support then Immidate. Noshin's older sister and daughter-in-law did not get any help despite being a doctor themselves. In the meantime, many attempts were made to contact the IEDCR, but no response was available as they were not testing the sample which was not contacted by the expatriate Bangladeshis. They are trying to test those who have come from outside the country.
After a lot of effort, my brother-in-law Dulabhai (Shimul Bhaiya) contacted the IEDCR and arranged for a sample to be taken at noon yesterday. In the meantime Uncle's condition worsens. Today, around 8am, Noshin's call was received, weeping like crazy and saying that my father was dying for a test report today. I had nothing to do except to sound helpless. Shimul bhaiya apran tries to get the report by noon today but before that all is over.
Now we are sitting in the hope of reporting that if we die without treatment, the path to death will not be difficult.
Whether or not Corona is responsible for Uncle's death is just waiting to be known.

Has the ability to cope with Corona, nothing to worry about: PM

Stating that Bangladesh has adequate capacity to deal with coronavirus, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that there is nothing to worry about.

The Prime Minister said this while inaugurating an International Women's Day event at Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the capital on Sunday.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, "Insha Allah, we have sufficient capacity (to fight coronavirus) and we will take appropriate measures." There is nothing to worry about. '

The Prime Minister also said that the government was monitoring the situation for 24 hours. Wherever problems arise, appropriate action will be taken immediately. However, all must be clean and adhere to the directives of the Ministry of Health.

Sheikh Hasina said, “The Ministry of Health is giving coronavirus guidance every day. I would urge all to adhere to those instructions. '

Calling for awareness among all about coronavirus, the Prime Minister said that due to coronavirus, various countries around the world are going through economic problems.

The first virus was detected in Wuhan, China, in late December. As of Saturday, coronavirus infection has spread in 12 countries and regions. Millions of people have been affected. About three and a half thousand people died.

In less than two-and-a-half months, Bangladesh has been identified in half of the world's infections, but Bangladesh is out of the list. The government's Institute of Pathology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) said six samples were tested in the country. No one has been identified yet. 4 people are in isolation and quarantine in different hospitals. Some of them came from the affected countries.

Bangladesh has taken all preparations to prevent the risk of Corona virus

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given urgent directives at a special meeting to prevent the new corona virus (20-NCOV). She made this special meeting at her office after the regular meeting of the Cabinet on February 8, with 20 ministers and officials. After the meeting, Cabinet Secretary Khandaker Anwarul Islam briefed the journalists. There, she said, the Prime Minister has instructed that somehow the Corona virus should be prevented.

The government's National Institute of Pathology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) says 5 samples have been tested so far. However, no coronary virus was found in any of them. As a result, Bangladesh is free from this new Corona virus. Although they still say the new coronary virus test method is limited in the country. Nevertheless, Bangladesh has all the preparations to prevent COVID-19. Of course, this is raising concerns again on Sunday (February 8th) when news of a migrant Bangladeshi being infected with the virus for the first time in Singapore.

The Health Department says some systems have been developed to get the results of the Corona test faster, and they will arrive in Bangladesh soon. Many officials, who are unwilling to give the name of the health department, say that two to three countries in the developed world who have figured out laboratory test procedures will be coming to our country within a few days. Then the test results will not be sent anywhere else to be completely sure. We are sure that the World Health Organization will comply. Because, our lab is recognized by the World Health Organization. The official claimed that Bangladesh had informed the World Health Organization of some requirements for the Rapid Test. But they have not yet arrived in the country. I will get them in the next few days.

On the question of whether Bangladesh is ready to face the risk of coronas, Director General of the Department of Health Dr. "I think we are ready," Abul Kalam Azad told the Bangla Tribune. Because, the corona virus will be like China in Bangladesh. All countries on earth are now preparing. They have 'sealed' areas that are at risk in China. Although they had a shortage of preparations in the beginning, it is now strong. Those who are at risk or under attack in China cannot get out. At the same time, when people are going to other countries all over the world, they are getting screened there before they leave the country, but there is also protection. Again, if anyone wants to come to Bangladesh in such a situation (after being attacked), then we have a strategy to identify them.

He said if anyone looks suspicious, he will be kept in quarantine. The test will be done if needed, as it is now. If someone is infected then the disease will not be spread. That is why we have all kinds of capability and readiness.

The IEDCR, on the other hand, says there is nothing to worry about Corona. There are many types of accounting. So there is no need to go to the doctor if there is fever, cough or cough. IEDCR director Dr. Mirzadi Sabrina Flora said many returning from China are concerned about the possibility of the Corona virus infection. They are going to different hospitals for diagnosis. But the fact is, not all provinces of China have been infected with the Corona virus at the same time. There is nothing to worry about if the concerned passengers arrive the day before the Corona virus is infected from other parts of China, including Wuhan. If it has been 5 days since coming from there, then there is nothing to worry about. If any signs are seen of anyone before they arrive from China, they will only need to contact the IEDCR hotline.

"We hope the Corona virus won't spread in Bangladesh," she said. If there are too many cases, there will be no need for further examination. Because it's a common flu. There is no special treatment. And its testing methods are not only available in Bangladesh, but around the world.

IEDCR Chief Scientific Officer Dr. ASM Alamgir said that after collecting samples for corona detection, the results have to wait for 4 hours. And after a few days, all kinds of Rapid Test facilities will be coming to the country. The results of the sample test will be known within 24 hours, not just for 1 hour.

She told the Bangla Tribune, "We have enough re-agents to detect the new corona virus."

We are ready, even if corona come they is nothing to worry about

Dhaka:Health and Family Welfare Minister Zahid Malek has said that there is nothing to fear if the corona virus come in Bangladesh. We are already doing all sorts of preparations.

The Health Minister said this after the inter-ministerial meeting titled 'Health sector initiatives on Corona virus and latest situation in Dengue' in the Secretariat on Tuesday (March 7th).
The health minister said the Corona virus has spread to more than 4 countries in the world. Beginning in China, there were about 3,000 people affected and nearly three thousand dead. Already spread to many countries. People from various European Union countries, South Korea, Iran and Italy have been infected with the corona virus.
'We think the corona virus has come to the country around us. Can't say for sure that Bangladesh will not come. We are almost always ready, and the preparation is increasing. Even though the Corona virus come, there is nothing to fear. We are already doing all sorts of preparations. We have discussions with the Prime Minister all the time, we have informed him about all the issues and have taken action.
Regarding the preparations to prevent the spread of the Corona virus through those coming from overseas, the Health Minister said, "We have instructed that - if anyone comes from any country, especially all the countries or areas most affected, he will be screened and he will be in self quarantine." In Dhaka city, we have isolation ward on top floor of hospitals in each district.
“Kuwait-Friendly Hospital and Breastfeeding Hospital are being prepared specially in Dhaka. An ICU of 20 beds is being done at the Breastfeeding Hospital, where the critical patient will be kept. The National Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) will collect patient samples and report them quickly.
Regarding the preparations for preventing coronas outside Dhaka, the minister said that there will be ICU in district level hospitals and medical college hospitals, there will be trained people. God forbid, if the patient is more visible then we have marked schools, colleges, community centers outside the hospital to keep the victims. The local committees will keep them fixed.
Regarding the training of the doctors and nurses of the hospital, the minister said, I have arranged to provide enough gowns, masks, gloves for them and I am collecting them regularly and giving them to all hospitals.
Director General of the Department of Health Abul Kalam Azad said, "We trained primarily in every institution and brought civil surgeons." I have been training every day at a video conference to train at the local level. When a catastrophe occurs, you cannot wait for training. Treatment should be done with guidelines and basic knowledge.
Regarding the preparation for confronting Corona, the Health Minister added, "We have thought that anyone who comes from abroad will meet with the civil surgeon and tell him where he came from." So that no one is missed. I have told various embassies and foreign ministries to pay special attention to those coming from Italy, Korea and Iran. There has been cancellation of an Arival Visa. They will also have to bring their medical certificate.

The booklet and guidelines have been prepared for the coroner's medical procedure, the minister said, adding that we will run awareness campaigns in Corona through various notices in local newspapers, cable networks only.
Meanwhile, the minister said that around 100,000 people from abroad have been screened, adding that we have examined more than 100 patients.

It was informed at the meeting that two more committees were formed at district and upazila level, including a national committee headed by the Health Minister, to prevent the Corona virus. The committee will meet regularly to address any situation, he said.
The minister said private hospitals like government hospitals have also been directed to create isolation wards. We have one billion people outside. Those who work abroad should not come from abroad or move abroad at this time without being urgent. We do not want Bangladesh to be attacked.
The meeting was attended by top ministries and departments and top health officials.

“Kuwait-Friendly Hospital and Breastfeeding Hospital are being prepared specially in Dhaka. An ICU of 20 beds is being done at the Breastfeeding Hospital, where the critical patient will be kept. The National Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) will collect patient samples and report them quickly.
Regarding the preparations for preventing coronas outside Dhaka, the minister said that there will be ICU in district level hospitals and medical college hospitals, there will be trained people. God forbid, if the patient is more visible then we have marked schools, colleges, community centers outside the hospital to keep the victims. The local committees will keep them fixed.
Regarding the training of the doctors and nurses of the hospital, the minister said, I have arranged to provide enough gowns, masks, gloves for them and I am collecting them regularly and giving them to all hospitals.
Director General of the Department of Health Abul Kalam Azad said, "We trained primarily in every institution and brought civil surgeons." I have been training every day at a video conference to train at the local level. When a catastrophe occurs, you cannot wait for training. Treatment should be done with guidelines and basic knowledge.
Regarding the preparation for confronting Corona, the Health Minister added, "We have thought that anyone who comes from abroad will meet with the civil surgeon and tell him where he came from." So that no one is missed. I have told various embassies and foreign ministries to pay special attention to those coming from Italy, Korea and Iran. There has been cancellation of an Arival Visa. They will also have to bring their medical certificate.

The booklet and guidelines have been prepared for the coroner's medical procedure, the minister said, adding that we will run awareness campaigns in Corona through various notices in local newspapers, cable networks only.
Meanwhile, the minister said that around 100,000 people from abroad have been screened, adding that we have examined more than 100 patients.

It was informed at the meeting that two more committees were formed at district and upazila level, including a national committee headed by the Health Minister, to prevent the Corona virus. The committee will meet regularly to address any situation, he said.
The minister said private hospitals like government hospitals have also been directed to create isolation wards. We have one billion people outside. Those who work abroad should not come from abroad or move abroad at this time without being urgent. We do not want Bangladesh to be attacked.
The meeting was attended by top ministries and departments and top health officials.
