The ministry’s annoucement said: “Teaching extra classes is banned in the period of fighting against Covid-19 infections. The ministry will take action against offenders.”

I think this deserves a separate thread. This isn’t really directly related to the coronavirus.

ACE will be starting the next term with on-line classes starting on Wednesday. No official notice of shut down yet.

I found it interesting that the prosecutor was able to write his own search warrant on the scene and then further write his own arrest warrant, also on location.

Could a lawyer (or wanna be one) enlighten me on the Cambodian legal code? I always thought that judges had to write orders for searches and arrest warrants? Or at least had to sign and approve them.

An extract. Looks very promising.

Abstract

We need an effective treatment to cure COVID-19 patients and to decrease the virus carriage duration. In 80 in-patients receiving a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin we noted a clinical improvement in all but one 86 year-old patient who died, and one 74 year-old patient still in intensive care unit. A rapid fall of nasopharyngeal viral load tested by qPCR was noted, with 83% negative at Day7, and 93% at Day8. Virus cultures from patient respiratory samples were negative in 97.5% patients at Day5. This allowed patients to rapidly de discharge from highly contagious wards with a mean length of stay of five days. We believe other teams should urgently evaluate this cost-effective therapeutic strategy, to both avoid the spread of the disease and treat patients as soon as possible before severe respiratory irreversible complications take hold.

Length of stay in the ID ward
Of the 65 patients who were discharged from the ID ward during the study period, the mean time from initiation to discharge was 4.1 days with a mean length of stay of 4.6 days.
