“Herd immunity” in the absence of a vaccine or treatment is a fancy way of saying govt does nothing, virus sweeps through, great for those who make it, mourn those who don’t, & hope health services don’t collapse in the process. And 🤞 immunity lasts.

Debate starting in countries that effectively contained coronavirus whether measures taken were excessive given low case numbers & small death toll. Typical in public health —> something is prevented from happening bc of response & then get blamed after for overreacting.

I had prepared a checklist for ensuring non-tokenistic diversity in events and panels for @womeninGH and I hope to see it adopted more and more! We need different experiences and view points to solve global issues! #intersectionalitymatters

Take a step back & look at what's happening outside of US/UK. Read about any of these countries: Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Greece, Denmark, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Norway, Senegal, Ghana, Kerala in India, Slovakia.

WHY MALE ALLIES MATTER: Our #BoD @Arush_Lal talks about Women's Leadership and Men's Health as a syngersitic issue. We need to challenge our mindset in the gender community and it begins by seeing gender as everyone's business #GenderUHC @womeninGH @WomenDeliver @IntlWomen

A question to the US government. You have an embassy in Beijing and 5 Consulates, including one in Wuhan. I am sure you have far superior intelligence gathering techniques than WHO. You are demanding that China/WHO be investigated for what they knew and when about the pandemic.

I am still waiting for the headline “122 countries support a united and coordinated response to #covid19 and call for universal, timely and equitable access for vaccines” #COVID__19 @WHO #politvirus

It’s good to get hate mail from supporters of President Trump’s disastrous approach to COVID-19. Please keep it coming. He has betrayed his country, his people, and the scientists and health workers who have tried their best to overcome his embarrassing indifference.

Nurses and health workers - 70% women are putting their lives at risk —an estimated 1000 have lost their lives, many remain uncounted, unrecognized & even uncompensated . We must #RememberHealthHeroes AND #InvestinHealthWorkers , #PPE #SupportNursesandMidwives #WHA73

I wept in my car as I drove through London this evening. So many people out & about. I’d just finished a 12hr day (ICU Dr) on a Covid ICU. Patients fighting for their lives. One sadly died. The UK lockdown is a joke. Is >30,000 deaths not enough?! #extendlockdown

Releasing lockdown without public health infrastructure in place (test, trace, isolate & surveillance) makes lockdown pointless so far. Everyone agrees we need to get out of lockdown ASAP, focus needs to be on how time being used to replace lockdown with package of interventions.

The UK has today committed £1.65 billion to @gavi, ahead of the Global Vaccine Summit on 4 June. This will help to make a #COVID19 vaccine available for all, and ensure other immunisations continue so kids around the world won’t die of measles and other diseases amid the crisis.
