I agree.

“Le Luxembourg est dès la première heure un des grands supporters de l’initiative du @CivilSocietyWCA et de @UNAIDS. Ce n’est qu’à travers un dialogue, une collaboration technique et politique que nous atteindrons des résultats adéquats.” -Thomas Barbancey, Ambassade @luxembourg

Principle 2 of the universal values promoted by the @UN is the need to leave no one behind. It is a principle of humanism. The representative of #Luxembourg reminds us of the importance of ensuring quality care for all. #DeDakaraPraia #civilsociety #healthinwca

Politics will always contextualize public health, but the political process should not drive public health decision making.

In case it needs to be said, there are very few places in Ontario (or the world) where MDs can be effective in their jobs without partnership from allied health professionals.

Any strategy for #COVID19 that doesn't even mention equity is only a strategy to keep protecting rich people.

#COVID19 is a scary time. Fear turns to anger in a heartbeat and it's natural to vent. Before we blame choices for driving infections, check if socioeconomic inequities predict infections locally as is often the case. If they do, let's start with blaming and fixing the system.

Just so we're clear: One can be both anti-pandemic and anti-zero #COVID. While I don't advertise, I have been face-to-face with this virus in clinical settings since March. It's from that experience seeing such inequities, I know this response to be misguided in many places.

Public Health Practice Gems #COVID19 has increased the general interest in public health. So I thought it worthwhile to provide some framing for folks new to this field. The goal is to provide an overview of public health: 1) Principles 2) Intervention Strategies 3) Actors

Viruses have never respected borders. We can "close" ports of entry, but viruses find a way through. #Senegal and the #Gambia are presenting us with a model of collaboration with shared goals of minimizing public harm. A great model for more countries! seneweb.com/news/Sante/covid…

This is real. In many high burden, countries we are observing serious disruptions of #HIV prevention, testing and treatment services. In fighting #COVID19, the world can't afford to drop the ball on #HIV or other diseases. Stay the course!
“It is vital that countries urgently make plans to mitigate the possibility & impacts of higher costs & reduced availability of antiretroviral medicines,” says @Winnie_Byanyima. A UNAIDS study shows how the production & distribution of medicines have been impacted by #COVID19.

#COVID19 is not influenza, but both are lipid-enveloped RNA viruses with similar distribution of burden suggesting shared determinants of transmission. Forecasting & intervention-development may be able to better use decades of influenza research medrxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… @mishrash

Forecasting models for #COVID19 across #Africa should integrate historical trends for continental and intercontinental #heterogeneity in respiratory pathogens as transmission dynamics for #COVID appear to be equally heterogenous. @SanteEnda @ITPCglobal @RefilweMafuya
