We all have a role to play in stopping the spread of harmful misinformation online, which can result in people being left uninformed, unprotected & vulnerable.

Before you share content online, pause to verify facts by asking basic questions. https://t.co/qFqoh7loX2

Forests are vital to people and the environment.

What’s going on in Hanoi? During Tet with way less traffic as well.

[Anthony Costello @globalhlthtwit]

We were forced into prolonged national lockdowns. Hugely damaging to livelihoods, the economy and mental health. None of the Asian states had national lockdowns, only local ones. Their economies had ten times less damage. (3)

[Anthony Costello @globalhlthtwit]

Our leaders/advisers said you cannot suppress this virus. China and Vietnam did. Then they said these countries will inevitably face a huge second wave. They haven't - just smaller outbreaks that they jump on with good public health implemented by people on the ground. (2)

[Anthony Costello @globalhlthtwit]

The story so far. About the failure of public health. Not masks. Look at the death rates in China (pop 1.4bn), Vietnam (100m), USA (340m) and UK (68m). Yes, you cannot see the death curves in the first two because they are so low. (1)

Authorities in #Vietnam reportedly dismantle an #organizedcrime ring operating in several cities, seizing large 127 kg shipment of apparent ecstasy from the #Netherlands concealed in containers of baby formula - forensics and source yet to be confirmed

[John W. @johnwSEAP]

Authorities in #Cambodia seize modest 70kg haul of ecstasy, heroin & meth destined to #VietNam - important to keep an eye out for possible shift in production as #organizedcrime in #GoldenTriangle look to hedge against risks associated w/ growing uncertainty amidst #MyanmarCoup

The British Royal Navy and Royal Marines have tested out a jet suit developed by the company Gravity Industries. Gravity says its suit can fly up to 80 mph and climb to 12,000 feet in the air. https://t.co/J6N3KZEczN

🦇🌏We share this planet with some incredible creatures. Yet so many are endangered. Like the Kolar-leaf nosed bat & pangolin. 2 fantastic films in our opening show of the new series of @ajearthrise by filmmakers @thuytranle @trangbui257 @malaikavaz https://t.co/vhGKnIj05j

[Amanda Burrell @planetmands]

Pangolins rock! They've been living on earth for over 45 million films but for how much longer? Check out this lovely film on these extraordinary, critically endangered creatures by @thuytranle and @trangbui257

[Neha Tara @NehaTaraMehta]

Nearly 90 tonnes of #pangolin scales seized globally between 2016-20 were linked to #Vietnam according to @TRAFFIC_WLTrade.
Watch this @AJEarthrise @AJEnglish film by @thuytranle @trangbui257 on how
@SVWpage is racing against time to save this mammal. https://t.co/2eS5U25Jdi

[Neha Tara @NehaTaraMehta]

The #pangolin is one of the world’s most trafficked wild mammals. Watch how @SVWpage in #Vietnam is working to save these shy, scaly animals in this @AJEarthrise film by @thuytranle @trangbui257.

Ecstasy from #Cambodia, this time #VietNam with 1000s of packs of unidentified powdered drugs and 1000 bottles liquid drug. No surprise after synthetic drug capacities discovered, including some that take sophistication @jdouglasSEA @raithelhuber,
