What to do
- Wash your hands (not compulsively, but often with proper procedures (what you see in every restraunt bathrrom etc) )
- Social Distancing (~1 meter gap between people in public)
- Cover Sneezez/Coughs
- Go to local medical facilities if sick
- Reduce non essential travel and/or do it via alternate means (Don't fly if able, etc)
- Self quarentine if you have recently traveled to an at risk area, or have com into contact with an infected person
- Follow CDC and other Official information
- Follow local efforts such as limits on work and meetings etc
- Consult medical professionals before doing anything
- Hydroxychloroquine - malaria meds that prevent this virus
- Tamiflu - antiviral
What NOT to do
- DON"T PANIC AND/OR HOARD FOOD/SUPPLIES
- Ignore guidlines etc (ie hold parties, refuse to quarentine... )
At Risk Groups
- Infants and young children
- Elderly
- Immunocomprimised (Due to disease or medication: ie un-medicated HIV, immunosuppresants, chemotherapy etc
- People with little acces to medical care (due to region and local infastructure etc)
- Most other people have low lethality rates ( single digit percentages untill 80+ years of age )
- Main concern for people not in these groups is to not make yourself a vector, you will get sick, and it will be bad like flu ( IF INFECTED ) but the real concern is infecting one of those groups
Working Doc by Colby
- Map of USA cases by Johns Hopkins - [1]
- Korea and Italy are testing everyone
- Key actions: increase ventillator parts, and open source testing procedures
- Open source protocols
- Confirmed cases is 5000 in the USA.
- Vaccine development -
- USA has 1/8 the estimated number of ventillators needed -
- Early 1918 Pandemic - flue - took a rest over summer and then 5% died. Immunity was developed. In second part, virus mutated to become more deadly.
- Vaccine companies - Wichita KS company UV C
- Live attenuated vaccine vs deactivated vaccine
- Rational vaccines -
Data
- 6000 hospitals in the USA [2]
- 2 million potential cases
Genetics
- Sequencing - it's an RNA based virus, more susceptible to mutation
- There is a gene map of where these live worldwide
Next Step
- Links to original sources - Good Resource for building masks
- Guide on - how to collaborate
- OSE guide on 3D protected
- Do not include prescription medications
- M95 masks, self-manufactured ventillators, 3D printers, printed parts
- Fundraise to build 3D printers - and ventillators
- Stock up on parts - for making a ton of ventillator parts
- https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/D3D_Pro
- Volunteers to print out tons of parts and produce a 3D printer for any hospital
- Donation to produce a boatload of printers.
- Funding - get someone full time on researching a list of arganizations providing support for covid work

- An intresting article on the use of 3D Printed Venthilator Valves when the supply of the Proper ones ran out in an Italian Hospital (probably not as safe/tested/reliable etc, so not saying MEDICAL TECH HAS NO USE, but it is intresting to see 3D Printing filling a need of such a critical resource and "getting the job done". Also it was all external so it thus had far less requirements (no need for biocompatability/autoclavable etc)
