Something worth celebrating this #WorldMalariaDay: Global efforts to end malaria have saved nearly 600,000 lives and prevented almost 100 million cases each year compared to 2000 levels. Many of the most vulnerable are children & pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa. #endmalaria

As we work on tackling #COVID19, we can't afford to lose ground on the gains we have made against other diseases like malaria.
On #WorldMalariaDay I join @WHO's call for maintained malaria prevention & treatment services during the #coronavirus crisis to save lives.

Conflicting data! This paper estimates 10,400 excess deaths in Denmark. Using the EuroMOMO algorithm we estimate 5,100 excess deaths and only 3,500 excess deaths when we include periods with mortality below the expected number (due to the restrictions).

Extreme weather events & rising sea levels particularly threaten landlocked developing countries & small island states - many lack the infrastructure to address the #ClimateCrisis. @WHO is committed to help them build a safe, clean & healthy environment for all. #ClimateAction

I kept seeing alarming-seeming claims about how dreadful things have got in Denmark since the end of Covid restrictions there, with talk of a huge rise in hospitalisations and deaths, so I thought I'd look into it. Short version: it's not really happening inews.co.uk/news/science/why…
