@deanbphillips El argumento es ilógico y puramente político. En cuanto a las encuestas … son preocupantes pero existe el punto de vista q dice q mucha gente no está enganchado todavía, está simplemente vagamente insatisfecha, y por tanto apoya al q no esta en el poder.

@Delta Delta has been a leader in on-plane safety. You need to rise to the same level in your clubs. The challenge is different but can be met.

[David Tschirley @davetsch]

encouraging everyone to wear masks wen moving around and when not eating or drinking - thank you for that. However, not one person that I saw put their mask on. I decided to leave the club and politely noted the reason to an employee at the desk as I was leaving.

[David Tschirley @davetsch]

@Delta I think Delta owes it to its customers to take a far more proactive approach to mask use in clubs. I came into the MSP club and noticed that many people - perhaps 15%-20% - were not eating or drinking anything and were also not wearing masks. I heard the announcement

Happy to have participated in the AfDB’s brainstorming session yesterday on #COVID and food systems. See my thoughts here on data and knowledge gaps that we must - and can - fill if we are to effectively confront the pandemic in https://t.co/wA650Bs1oH

Some of us @MSUAFRE are developing an inventory of practical approaches being implemented globally to support functioning food system & physical marketplaces during #COVID19. If you know of such approaches, we would love to hear from you. More info here:

@shaunamdowns @AnnaWHerforth @jessfanzo Very nice paper. Should bring much needed conceptual clarity to applied work. Thank you for considering individual factors while not confusing them with the necessarily external food environment!

[David Tschirley @davetsch]

What we don’t have is any handle on IFRs for Low income countries with much younger age structure but higher co-morbidities. Given near impossibility of social distancing for so many, we desperately need this data. Is anyone generating credible IFR estimates for LICs?

[David Tschirley @davetsch]

We’re now getting a clearer idea of infection fatality rates from #COVID19 in the US, most suggesting levels 10-20 times higher than seasonal flu. https://t.co/zw0LoRReyC. The importance of intelligent, data-driven gradual opening is clear.

Thanks for having me on @NBCNightlyNews. Check out the segment where I discuss what these meat plant closures could mean for consumers https://t.co/Kp6TgDjoUQ via @nbcnews

Kudos to @MSUAFRE and @foodsecuritylab colleagues @dlortega @SawedaTasie and Tom Reardon for informed and high profile commentary in major news outlets regarding #COVID19

Science editorial on short-term and long-term needs to deal with global pandemics and achieve the #SDGs. "A more responsible, more sharing, more caring, more inclusive, and fairer society is required if we are to survive in the Anthropocene." https://t.co/ipPaC3bWo8

[David Tschirley @davetsch]

Absolutely.

@loumartinez707 @l_haddad @maredia @foodsecuritylab @TitusAwokuse @jessfanzo Please Lourdes could you send what you have by email? Totally agree that if traders understand the problem they will find ways to adapt. This is crucial, as planners cannot do this themselves. Calling out @fk_yeb in case he can provide info on this.

[David Tschirley @davetsch]

Africans get 3/4 of their food from informal markets. Perfect settings for virus transmission. Administered food distribution can replace only a tiny fraction of their volumes @foodsecuritylab @TitusAwokuse @maredia @jessfanzo @l_haddad

[David Tschirley @davetsch]

How do we keep these markets working while mitigating #covid-19? We have little time to figure this out

[David Tschirley @davetsch]

@robkowa @l_haddad Hugely important issue @l_haddad. World has not grappled with this yet. See also MSU’s @foodsecuritylab thinking on this issue here: https://t.co/xpGoUD3cpm
