@GrazianoCeddia "... alternative knowledge claims [...] are unknown knowns". Had not seen this before. With known knowns, known unknowns, unknown unknowns - a nice 2x2 table is now complete. V cool.

100 days have passed since Fiji saw our first case of #COVID19.
We’d long prepared for that day.
Seeing a world crippled by the pandemic, we were determined to protect Fiji from the same fate.
So today, we mark another milestone: 70 days since we recorded our last new case.

@mendel_random@WHO Review says "Evidence from previous CoVs suggests that false negativity is likely to result from waning of antibody levels." So triangulation (+ precaution, I’d say) supports WHO's position: "there is not enough evidence [...] to guarantee the accuracy of an immunity passport"
Horrible bushfire smoke in Eden NSW. Beaches deserted, inhalers and face masks sold out, roads to Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne cut-off. Staying indoors to minimise exposure to #AirPollution. Explaining to our children #ClimateEmergency
@WHO@takeshi_kasai@Seoul_gov@mevpr@MOFAkr_eng @KoreaCDC Every hour, 400 people in the Western Pacific Region die because of #AirPollution & other environmental factors.
@WHOWPRO’s Asia-Pacific Centre for #Environment & Health in the Western Pacific Region is driving the work on these urgent issues: https://t.co/vNjIgjpuDN
Safe environments are essential to improving equity and wellbeing. Read @WHO_Europe’s new report on environmental health inequalities in Europe here: https://t.co/aNsbnGswc4 #equityinhealth
@WHO@WHOatEU@WHO_Europe_RHN@WHO_Europe_DE@UNECE @UNEnvironmentEu Environmental risk factors account for about 1.4 million deaths per year in the European Region, most of them avoidable. Disadvantaged population subgroups can have 5⃣ times higher exposure levels to environmental risk factors than advantaged subgroups. #EquityinHealth
Environment and health have been improving in Europe, BUT.
