“My dream school is Duke University. And for me to have to wake up and wonder if I’m going to survive to live or not, that’s just sad; no child should live through that.” Raymon Curry, a 16-year-old protestor, speaks to @NBC_VC’s @QuashieIdun.

People keep worrying we’ll run out of food. We won’t. Farmers basically live a life of social distancing every day, so as long as the trucks keep trucking and the ships keep shipping, you’ll be able to eat. #covid19UK @BBCCountryfile @1GarethWynJones @SoilAssociation

I’m no epidemiologist and no public health expert. I do believe passionately in science and also in #Factfulness. This man is the global authority on the spread of disease. If you are a leader (in any capacity) watch this. If you are not, watch it too.
