    Need to change language - we need physical distancing NOT social distancing - we actually need to increase our social cooperation #COVIDー19

    "The situation is catastrophic," says @WHO chief @DrTedros about the conflict in #Ethiopia. "The blockade on communications, including on journalists being able to report from #Tigray, means it remains a forgotten crisis – out of sight, and out of mind."

    Could we stop using the term NPI (non pharmaceutical interventions) and call it what it is : public health measures. That would give the clear message that we need to strengthen #publichealth institutions #COVID19

    This should NOT be possible at a World Health Assembly. Could there be some rules or recommendations? #manels #WHA76

    Health experts estimate it will cost some $20bn to vaccinate everyone on earth, equivalent to roughly two hours of global output. This is the best bargain in the world. Let us hope the world can recognise it. #COVIDー19 #vaccines

    This is not new at all and can’t be resolved by attacking the @WHO secretariat. It has been @UN policy for decades and agreed by member states including the USA through “accepted ambiguity”. Membership of Taiwan is not for the secretariat to resolve but politically by states.

    World Health Organization Asst Dir General doing everything possible to avoid taking a question on Taiwan. Cannot upset the PRC. Worth watching growing influence of authoritarianism in action.

    Thanks for all the congratulations- it was a very special moment indeed. Thinking of my first time ⁦@WHO⁩ as a very young consultant in Copenhagen. The subject? Women’s health! So much still remains to be done! And great to see #healthpromotion so prominent again!
