    This new guidance set out by the Department of Health and Social Care covers a variety of scenarios relating to care homes, staff, and providers who care for people in their own homes to ensure older people and those with pre-existing conditions and care needs who receive support are best protected. Elderly people and those with underlying health conditions are much more likely to develop serious complications. Anyone who is suspected of having COVID-19, with a new continuous cough or high temperature, should not visit care homes or people receiving home care, and should self-isolate at home. People receiving care will be isolated in their rooms if they have symptoms of coronavirus. To ensure they can continue to receive the care they require, care staff will use protective equipment to minimise the risk of transmission.  Building on existing strong local relationships, the NHS will work with care providers where necessary to make sure people have the best possible care and remain in the community. GPs have been asked to look at the possibilities of offering digital appointments to provide advice and guidance to patients and potentially their families. Councils have been told to map out all care and support plans to prioritise people who are at the highest risk and contact all registered providers in their local area to facilitate plans for mutual aid.

    Dr Gordon Caldwell, a consultant physician, questions whether he should be ventilated if gets the coronavirus. Gordon is a 64 year old in good health. But in his blog he asks us to consider whether this would be a wise action and whether more harm than good would come from ventilating him. The process of ventilation may be the most important and dangerous fomite for the current generation of healthcare staff, but by jumping to “do it all” and “have a go” we may be shooting the human race in the foot; however well intentioned the motivation. Read Gordon's full blog in the attachment below.

    In this article, Dr David Nabarro and John Atkinson discuss the routes out of the coronavirus lockdown. Quality information is at a premium. Decisions will be based on data about the spread of the virus disaggregated by locality. Numbers of people becoming infected will need to be factored into decisions. The goal is to understand the extent of transmission and whether the rate of increase in people infected is starting to reduce.  The sequence for easing a lockdown will vary from place to place. Decision-makers will be considering multiple factors when deciding how best to do this. Here they explore the questions decision-makers will be asking and indicate some of the factors they might consider.

    The impact of COVID-19 on communities of colour in the US is dramatically and disproportionately affecting African-Americans most of all. The reasons are complex, with underlying health conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes) acting as one contributing factor. Yet, these health problems, public health experts say, largely reflect the history and ongoing realities of racism in the US that have created barriers to accessing quality health care and the conditions that can lead to better health.

    The impact of the virus that causes COVID-19 could hardly be more disparate. While billions are stuck at home and restricted by social-distancing guidelines, millions of people must still put themselves and their families at risk by continuing to go to work. Millions are coping with the requirement of effectively working from home, but millions more have lost their jobs and don’t know how they will pay for housing or food. And for those who contract the virus, its effects span from nothing at all to death. Derek Feeley discusses these inequities in an article for the Institute of Healthcare Improvement.
