Thanks @countthedead for sharing - it has been fun working on these Covid parodies with @garykapelus - he’s done an amazing job of alternative public health messaging and archiving our experience for future generations.
Honored to be on #Kyrgyzstan technical mission of @WorldBank#Primaryhealthcare#qualityimprovement project advising on how to collect data efficiently & create reports for front-line staff on how to optimize care. Enjoyed seeing local innovations to improve lifestyle counselling

My neighbour @garykapelus is a prolific #Covidparody writer & I would often perform them for our daily community singalongs on our street during pandemic lockdown #1 in 2020. See Gary’s interview this morning on Canadian Jewish News @TheCJN@ebessner
