Some evidence: drinking #water access estimated from UN @JMPWASH household data sources and from @WaterPointData water point inventories correlate. The 1st is people's use of water points, the second is the density of people around water points. Why? osf.io/kjry2/

Creation of complex rules (with # of people, households, exceptions) varying by tiers has created a perverse system where people look for loopholes. Instead, focus on why this virus is risky, what we can all do to avoid getting it & passing it on & the underlying science.

It was announced that water will be traded on the Wall Street futures market, a favourable space to promote speculative financial strategies. In response, I call on everyone to start a global debate on the values of water for #WorldWaterDay (22 Mar 2021) #water2me ⬇️⬇️⬇️
