Pandemics don't respect walls

[MS NOW @MSNOWNews]

“President Trump might like to believe that we can just build a wall around this country, but pandemics don’t respect walls.” — Fmr. US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power

I know this is hard.

I wish I could say this will be over soon, but I can’t.

We must make decisions based on the science and the data.

Human lives are at stake.

[Bill Gates @BillGates]

Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.

PSA on #COVID

1) Do not listen to advice from politicians and bankers on when it’s safe to stop social distancing. They have vested interests. Listen to real experts, and infection control professionals. #COVID @PSampathkumarMD @dan_diekema @CarlosdelRio7 @dr_dmorgan

I admit that I’ve never done the background research but this very topic has been coming to mind lately. I’m not a big “hugger” but there are those times when only a good hug will do. #ash17 reflections #lci @Carolinas https://t.co/4oQVs00Cgn
