I would welcome a handbook like this for individual or family use at home if hospitals become overwelmed and can no longer accommodate even seriously ill patients. The featured handbook looks very useful, but it's written for medical professionals in a hospital setting. I'm thinking about a handbook with instructions on how to do life critical procedures as best as possible with the resources one might have at home .…

as best as possible with the resources one might have at home.

It said to use paper towels instead of towels to dry your hands. I almost never use towels to dry my hands. If you use paper towels, flush them down the toilet.

Looks like the handbook was funded by Jack Ma and Alibaba. There's also an online forum setup for doctors https://covid-19.alibabacloud.com/

Props to Jack. This, along with his donation of a million masks and half million testing kits, shows selfless entrepreneurship.

Why does everyone want to reduce the fever with pills? The immune system works best when there is a fever and if you suppress it you are just trading long term complications for short term relief. In the Covid-19 case it would IMO be much better to drink lots of fluids and just let the fever run its course. I'm not a doctor so you shouldn't listen to me, listen to the awesome Dr Campbell instead, https://www.youtube.…

Most of the proximate-causes of death from COVID-19 come from the immune system in overdrive killing healthy cells in addition to infected ones. Not sure you want a stronger immune system in that case; you probably want to reduce inflammation directly.

It's probably wise to take survivorship bias into account here. Also, I think the focus is on the wrong data point. Wouldn't it be better to look at hospitals with the best/fastest recovery rate? Or look at hospitals with the highest fatality rates to understand what specifically is causing that?
