ವಿಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಮೇಸ್ತ್ರಿಗಳ ಕರೆಸಿಕೊಂಡ ಬಿಲ್ಡರ್! - ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕಟ್ಟಡ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರ ಕೊರತೆ ಕಾರಣ
Quote:
ಕೆಲವು ದಿನಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ ಕೋಲ್ಕೊತಾ ದಿಂದ ವಿಮಾನ ಮೂಲಕ ಐವರು ಮೇಸ್ತ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕರೆತರಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಟಿಕೆಟ್ ವೆಚ್ಚ ತಲಾ 7,500 ರೂ.ಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಲ್ಡರ್ ಭರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನಿಯಮದಂತೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕ್ವಾರಂಟೈನ್ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಅದರ ವೆಚ್ಚವನ್ನೂ ಬಿಲ್ಡರ್ ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಹಲವು ಕಟ್ಟಡಗಳು ಮುಕ್ತಾಯ ಹಂತಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಅವುಗಳ ಮೇಲ್ವಿಚಾರಣೆ ವಹಿಸಿದ್ದ ಮೇಸ್ತ್ರಿಗಳೇ ಪೂರ್ಣಗೊಳಿಸಲು ಅಗತ್ಯವಿದ್ದು, ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ತುರ್ತಾಗಿ ಕರೆತರಲಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಬಿಲ್ಡರ್ ಕಡೆಯ ಮೂಲಗಳು ತಿಳಿಸಿವೆ.

Don’t stop testing samples despite strain on health staff, says U.T. Khader

“I find fewer officers on the field,” he said, pointing out that there was too much burden on the two teams involved in the collection of throat swabs in the city.

Asking people not to be frightened if they test positive, Mr. Khader said most of them would recover after getting treatment in 15 days at the hospital. He asked the State government to arrange isolation facilities for asymptomatic positive persons who do not have space in their homes to follow home isolation.
Now, home isolation for asymptomatic patients

Who all are providing teleconsultancy services to home isolated people? - Karnataka private hospitals jump in with home isolation packages for COVID-19 patients

I wish local TV/Radio channels, news media popularize practices to be followed for home treatment. Interviews with already recovered people who have undergone treatment at home are very useful (does not matter whether Indian or foreign). I think a few of gadgets like electric kettle, steam inhalers (vaporizers), pulse oximeter 2 are a must - My Covid-19 Experience | How I fought with Corona Virus || Neelima Gupta - but better if doctors are interviewed. People should also be trained on how to dispose hazardous waste.

Whether any locally made steam inhalers available in Mangaluru?

Number of samples collected per day has to go up. Otherwise what is the use of having five laboratories? What is the cost per test?

Corona testing, treatment covered under Ayushman Bharat scheme' - DC

"Beneficiaries with BPL ration cards are also eligible for free treatment up to Rs 5 lac under the scheme. People with APL cards will be reimbursed up to 30 per cent of the treatment cost of the government package rate not exceeding Rs 1.5 lac per year. They can obtain treatment after they furnish their ration cards and Aadhaar cards.
Does this mean if we assume a BPL cut off of ₹27,000 per annum than a family with annual income ₹26,999 will get ₹5.0 lakhs but a family with annual income ₹27,001 will get ₹1.5 lakhs only.

Some improvement is number of samples collected and also number of samples tested on 07-07-2020. But again back to inertia again.

Any startup working on full automation of testing lab?

Whether this type of dashboard is available for rest of Tulunadu like Kasaragod - Kerala Dashboard? Look at the map showing all hot spots. Displaying additional details like 'lockdown starting day', 'how many days the area was under lockdown', 'how many people are infected' etc when you click on a hotspot is also useful. Of course all other details like active, death, recovered, samples collected also can be displayed.

Compared to Kerala portal Karnataka's Silicon City portal looks so dull - COVID-19 INFORMATION PORTAL, COVID-19 Karnataka War Room.

Kerala's internal transmission is just 11.89% of total cases - Spread of COVID-19 in Kerala.

Why DK created this useless website Dakshina Kannada District COVID-19 Dashboard if unable to update it daily? What was the date of last update?

When we visit a private hospital the persons sitting at reception ask so many questions on symptoms and other things, fine. But why should they ask questions like whether you are staying in a sealed down area, quarantines in neighbourhood etc? Can't they just note down our address and find through an online software app (using artificial intelligence?) about those details in the age of unknown neighbourhood? That would be useful to everyone to help themselves from unneccessarily catching the virus. I came to know that in many other countries the government even publish picture of quarantinees to create awareness.

I think asymptomatic secondary/tertiary contacts & returnees can be pool tested if not others. Has anyone come up with optimized testing strategy algorithm depending upon type of contacts, type of symptoms and number of samples of different types? What type of algorithm is useful for searching positive cases in a pool which is tested positive (also what should be optimum pool size under existing circumstances)?
