Pathogens that can cause catastrophic harms will continue to emerge. After the 3 years the world has suffered, political leaders have a clear choice:  it’s time for bold, cohesive reforms to ensure a world protected from pandemic threats. @HelenClarkNZ & @MaEllenSirleaf on the end of the COVID-19 global emergency. bit.ly/3nBG1N5 #LastPandemic

It’s scarcely believable that 80 PER CENT of acutely malnourished kids get NO HELP. But it’s true. Here is a plan to turn that round. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Although multilateral agencies eventually committed billions to help low- and middle-income countries during the pandemic, it is clear that more stopgap financing was needed early on, note @DMiliband @ElizabethRadin and Christopher Eleftheriades. bit.ly/3gcgd3H

Since the #G7 last met in August 2019, COVID has resulted in 3.5 million deaths and economic losses projected to reach $22 trillion by 2025. Now, there's an opportunity at this week's summit to find solutions for the broken pandemic financing system. project-syndicate.org/commen…

Among the key failures during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic was the slow mobilization of financing for pandemic response, note @DMiliband @ElizabethRadin and Christopher Eleftheriades of @RESCUE_Airbel. bit.ly/3w8GtBr

Very welcome support from ⁦@FT⁩ for the proposals of the ⁦@TheIndPanel⁩. We need pandemic prep and response to be on the desk of PMs and Presidents before next pandemic not after. Need stronger and more independent @WHO. If not now then when? on.ft.com/2Sgu5Al

More investment in US state and local public health is a really good lesson to draw from this pandemic. Great to see Biden administration offer states $7.4 billion to recruit & hire public health workers to respond to Covid-19 and future health crises bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

“The failure to invest in social protection has widened inequalities, causing the most vulnerable in our societies to suffer the most from the health & social costs of this pandemic and led to the death of more than 3.25 million individuals thus far.”@MaEllenSirleaf #LastPandemic

Our latest poll. Most support #ShelterInPlace orders.
NEW POLL: Despite some protests of state responses to #COVID19, 80% of the public say strict #ShelterInPlace orders are worth it to limit the virus’s spread. This includes: 61% of Republicans 84% of independents 94% of Democrats More from @KFF: kff.org/global-health-policy…

Exactly: “The solution then is to amend and update the International Health Regulations rather than pillory WHO for adhering to them.”
Hey, it's Friday night, so let's get a little wonky in exploring just how off-base Trump and Pompeo's attacks on @WHO are. Bottom line up front: they're attacking WHO for failing to do things that WHO...has no authority to do.

Pleasure talking Covid 19 response (and zombies) with CFR term members today!
Insightful and entertaining discussion today w Gideon Rose, @maxbrooksauthor & @ElizabethRadin regarding COVID19. (Max referenced his zombie works, metaphorical respresentation & fast versus slow zombies. The US didn’t focus on the slow zombie - COVID19 - and those get you!)

I'm seeing a lot of people uncritically retweeting this report that implies China hid ~40k COVID deaths in Wuhan. If there's reason to be wary of China's official figures (and there is!), there's also ample reason to as/more wary of this number. 🧵
