I thank the State of #Kuwait, which today is becoming one of the largest donors supporting the #coronavirus fight, giving $60M. @WHO’s #COVID19 Solidarity Response Fund has now raised over $127M from over 219 000 individuals and organizations. Together! https://t.co/mRCMYYtASW
Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation will donate additional urgent equipment including 800 ventilators, 300,000 sets of protective gowns and 300,000 face shields to hospitals in Europe. #OneWorldOneFight
COVID-19 exploded 89 days ago. Total cases crossed 700,000 today.

No signs of slowdown on a global scale. Don’t trivialize it.

We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong.
