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: How to make activated charcoal masks - Are they effective/ useful?
  • Guide on - how to collaborate
  • OSE guide on 3D protected
  • Do not include prescription medications
  • M95 masks, self-manufactured ventilators, 3D printers, printed parts
  • Fundraise to build 3D printers - and ventilators
  • Stock up on parts - for making a ton of ventilator 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 organizations providing support for covid work
