Shopping for the handicapped and seniors / Organisation: Local Whatsapp group for neighbourhood
« Last post by JoDa on March 21, 2020, 11:25:58 pm »Is it possible to create local whatsapp groups to organize help? Is there experience from other countries? If one street/neighbourhood organize themselves in a whatsapp chat the help (e.g. doing groceries) is close and fast. People maybe know each other and trust each other more easily. (People might hesitate to give 50 Dinars to a complete stranger to do their groceries and come back with food and change)
I know an example from the Netherlands where the government encouraged a similar system named 'buurtpreventie' = 'neigbourhood vigilance'. Mainly intended for theft or crime prevention but I think this could be quite a simple approach. If one person starts a group, distributes her/his number on paper in letterboxes in the area it could be set up in a day. If you have some phone numbers from neighbours you could even start a cascade system with everyone inviting neighbours they know so people can stay home in the first place.

Alternatives to surgical/FFP1/FFP2 masks / Re: Review of the existing of prototypes
« Last post by Feryel on March 21, 2020, 11:18:36 pm »The conclusion of the article is that wearing those DIY masks are better than nothing. But, we don’t want to arrive to the “better than nothing” part, I know we can do something better!
Also, the best way to use masks is that infected people wear it.

General information on hardware / [Biology] Does the IgG and IgM rapid test work?
« Last post by Feryel on March 21, 2020, 11:08:36 pm »I saw many articles claiming that some tests can make the diagnosis of COVID-19. Through a finger-prick test and the markers IgG/IgM, they can make the diagnosis in 15 minutes.
Is it really working and efficient?
Like this one: https://www.alphabiolabs.co.uk/workplace-testing-services/coronavirus-testing-kit/
Some of them are scams btw

Alternatives to surgical/FFP1/FFP2 masks / Re: Review of the existing of prototypes
« Last post by JoDa on March 21, 2020, 11:07:20 pm »Hi!
This document gives an overview of DIY approaches for facial masks.
The smartairfilters post is based on research done at cambridge university. The conclusion by researchers is: DIY-masks only as a last resort thing, the best masks with kitchen towel or cotton shirt as fabric can only filter 50% of germs, simple surgical masks filter 80% of germs.
Be aware that the masks do not give you a full protection, they only decrease likelihood of infection. If you use your 'felt protection' with the mask to be more risk prone they won't be of any help!

General information on hardware / Which medical hardware will be needed?
« Last post by JoDa on March 21, 2020, 10:28:03 pm »This document gives an overview over Covid-19 disease: which treatment is most common and which hardware is needed in the hospitals. It also covers respirators, oxygenation and protective equipment like masks and their DIY-approaches.

Source is the 'Open Source COVID19 Medical Supplies' Facebook group but they seem to have quite some medical experts. Information seems credible to me and was forwarded to me by a professor of a university clinic.
Liability (copyright and health risks for patients) is also briefly covered, but mainly US-law.

About this Forum / {MEGA THREAD} COVID-19 in Tunisia
« Last post by Feryel on March 21, 2020, 07:48:07 pm »Hi everyone,
We are all living a strange period. COVID-19 is a real threat worldwide and all around the world people are joining their knowledge to build great things and to find solutions quickly.
We are facing many problems: protections are out of stock, people are not taking this thread seriously, others are stuck at home without food. We have to help each other and if we do it all together, we'll be able to find many solutions.
In Tunisia, we are currently living on the ascending curve, you know the graph that we saw in China, in Italy and in France? we are right in the beginning of the ascending curve.
Now is our last chance to find solutions before the pick of the crisis, and we are lucky enough to be a week ahead Italy and France, we have to take advantage of it, and share all our knowledge on the same platform.
In conclusion, the main goal of this forum is to help each other, to share ideas, data and our knowledge to fight this COVID-19 and help people.
