Best hour of my week! Just recorded with Prof. Peter Piot @LSHTM Viral podcast - we did a deep dive into epidemiology of covid generally, vaccines & more specifics on rollout in low income countries & how the #B16172 variant could affect future #Africa outloook AND #VaccinEquity

[Amy Thomas @amyvthomas]

@yodifiji @LSHTM You both had very moving and powerful insights. Thank you for speaking with us, it was a pleasure!

[Amy Thomas @amyvthomas]

We started LSHTM Viral to discuss the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic. A year later we are back with a different set of questions...exploring vaccines and the route back to normality.

Check out the first episode with @rozeggo and John Edmunds.

On #WorldEnvironmentDay why not check out our recent blogs, dedicated to environmental issues, including food systems and planetary health by @franbharris & @amyvthomas @LSHTM_Planet and the seemingly sci-fi world of geoengineering by @alanacullen6

Thinking about what we mean by sustainability is a good place to start. Carbon emissions, water use, machinery used, plastic packaging, food waste, biodiversity loss & human health...

[Centre on Climate Change & Planetary Health, LSHTM @LSHTM_Planet]

We must create food systems that provide healthy food to everyone today and in future generations, without exploiting human or planetary resources - but how?

This is why the government is not closing schools - yet #COVID19

[London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine @LSHTM]

"It's not a measure you want to take lightly."

The UK government announced yesterday that there will not yet be school closures during the #COVID19 outbreak.

Jimmy Whitworth & @rozeggo explain the rationale for this decision 👇 @WPPHealth
