A university lecturer battling COVID-19 collapsed while teaching a class on Zoom, and was later found dead by her husband.
She reportedly wrote on Twitter: “I have been more than four weeks, and the symptoms do not go away.”Following her death, the UADE described her as a “passionate and dedicated teacher” and a “great” person.
A recording of the Zoom class was later posted online, attracting criticism on social media with people saying it was in bad taste.Some have directed their criticism at the university. “As a former student and graduate of UADE I would love to read that they are taking action on the matter about the dissemination of the video of the class where the teacher breaks down,” one person wrote under the UADE statement on Facebook.
“Beyond the subject of the video, which is what I talk about the most, are they going to take care of the fact that they let a teacher with positive COVID for a month teach and not rest?” Another wrote. “I did not know her but I am a teacher and as a colleague I hope they put their cards on the table, expel the person who exposed the video and lose everything approved so far,” wrote another.Argentina currently has more than 470,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, with 9800 deaths.

Studies show hydroxychloroquine cuts 'virus mortality in half in high risk groups' | Sky News AustraliaYale University Professor Harvey Risch says all studies that examine the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine on high risk population groups show the drug is “uniformly beneficial” in treating COVID-19. \n\n“What clinicians have found around the world is that a class of people called high-risk people are the ones who need to be treated,” he said. \n\n“These are people generally over aged 60 or who have chronic conditions like diabetes, or obesity, or heart disease, high blood pressure or are immuno-compromised.\n\n“These are people that need to be treated and the studies that look at them and them only show that hydroxychloroquine cuts the risk of hospitalisation and mortality by at least 50 per cent.'\n\nMr Risch said there are no published studies that show the drug is not beneficial for those people.\n\n“There are plenty of other studies that show other things but the problem is they are not looking a the right people.\n\n“All of the pushback that is against this drug has been on the basis of blurring the distinction as to who needs the drugs and who needs to be treated.'\n\nImage: AP
