become silent about things that matter.

Stunning. @realdonaldtrump saying that believes "hydroxychloroquine could have a very positive impact in the early stages". Encouraging frontline medical people to use it for prevention & saying that it's safe because he took it.

This is just not true & extremely dangerous.

[Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity @GWFellow]

Thank you to #AFHEVirtual2020 keynote speakers Dr. Paul Farmer @PIH & Prof @agnesbinagwaho @ughe_org for furthering #healthequity & promoting constructive conversations around global issues of inequities and empowering/inspiring our fellows to fight & advocate for #healthequity!

BREAKING: @realdonaldtrump just announcing US will stop providing funding for @WHO.

During the worst pandemic we have seen in our lifetimes, we need international collaboration more than ever.

Can we please stop pointing fingers & focus on what US needs to do? #covid19

[Dr. Peter A Singer, OC @PeterASinger]

I think i will just retweet this today.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Just as health is not just the absence of disease, public health is not the absence of outbreaks. This is why we need universal health coverage — time to commit for #HealthForAll

[Sahle-Work Zewde @SahleWorkZewde]

Our global priority is to save lives.@WHO under @DrTedros effective leadership,are delivering on their mandate at a time we need them most. Let’s give them the space. @covid19 is killing many. We must support & protect the most vulnerable. Now is not the time for blame game.

[Leana Wen, M.D. @DrLeanaWen]

Joining @MSNBC this hour to speak about how this is not the time to send mixed messages on social distancing measures. We’ve had 8000 new #covid19 cases since yesterday. More than 500 people have died in the US. Planning needs to be guided by public health—not politics.

[Leana Wen, M.D. @DrLeanaWen]

This is terrifying. If anyone needs another call to action to #stayhome, please look ag this. #covid19

[Leana Wen, M.D. @DrLeanaWen]

Watching @WhiteHouse presser #covid19.
1)Messaging needs to be crystal clear: #StayHome to #FlattentheCurve.
2)Be clear exactly when tests are going to be available.
3)Our leaders need to model social distancing. Please switch to virtual briefing + stand 6-feet apart.

https://t.co/vUeCoHI5b3 reports that docs think that #SDOH is important for their patients but most feel it's not their job. FULL STOP. If social mission isn't in their mindset, we're stuck. Docs need to put their shoulders into #healthequity @BeyondFlexner @MichaelMarmot https://t.co/dOkQQ6u92H
