      1. @JAMA_current is hosting a livestream Maurizio Cecconi, head of anesthesiology & ICU at Humanitas Research Hospital in Lombardy, Italy. They got their first #Covid19 case Feb. 20. Cases quickly started coming in the days after that. "5-10-14, it was going up exponentially."

      2. Cecconi said right now the region has about 700-800 patients in intensive care beds right now with #Covid19. Most of these are mechanically ventilated. But in addition to the severely ill, will see a lot of patients coming into hospital — have to handle that surge too.

      3. Some data from the Lombardy #Covid19 outbreak — like elsewhere, almost no deaths under age 50.pic.twitter.com/AQxtz4PztC

          4. Cecconi says that while they are seeing children infected with #Covid19, they aren't seeing seriously ill kids. Said the median age of people in intensive care is 65. Older, more frail, more other health conditions people have, worse the outcomes.

          6. The #JAMALive session on #Covid19 with Dr. Maurizio Cecconi from Lombardy is on YouTube. Believe it will be archived there.https://youtu.be/TKS1pahoPRU

          7. Cecconi seems to suggest that Lombardy hospitals have not had to triage ICU beds among #Covid19 patients, meaning they aren't choosing which patients to try to save. Says they decided to provide an ICU bed to everyone who needs it, & have ramped up massively. #JAMALive

          8. Cecconi says plans are underway to try to further ramp up ICU beds for #Covid19, but the region needs the government & public to help slow spread of the virus. We could be on our knees very soon if we see more patients coming through." But "We're not giving up." #JAMALive

          9. Cecconi urges other hospitals that haven't yet had #Covid19 cases: "Don't underestimate this. This is not a normal flu. This is serious. Get ready." Says if governments mandate that people stay home, they need to do that to stop spread of the virus. #JAMALive

          10. Cecconi says they're not using ECMO for a lot of patients. Need to relisten, but sounds like most don't need it for #Covid19. #JAMALive

          11. This #JAMALive session is a real service to the medical profession. 37 minutes — if you work in a hospital, if you're trying to prep a hospital for #Covid19, you want to watch this.https://youtu.be/TKS1pahoPRU

          What about this info about permanent lung damage, or even as in Hong Kong, liver and kidney as well? Is this only for those that get severely ill?

          Interested in this as well. Also why asthma does not show up (frequently?) in the dangerous comorbidities. Lot's of people got that.
