COVID cases remain low(ish) in SL, but huge collateral damage. Interventions too early and too extreme? Such a difficult balance. #ICHGNutrition fantastic insight Dr Bunn @WHOSierraLeone

[International Child Health Group @IntChildHealth]

Need to weigh up the benefits of #COVID19 lockdown versus harms done by such measures in Sierra Leone

Major impact on deaths, essential health services, nutrition
