The case for empowering public health systems to tackle current and future pandemics.

Ed Yong never disappoints.

🚨Here's my new piece about our great challenge—control this pandemic while ALSO averting the next. For centuries, the US has been stuck in a Sisyphean cycle of panic & neglect. It can break that loop, but the window of opportunity is already closing. 1/

In Focus: Crop Diversification

#CropDiversification, the practice of adding new crops/cropping systems to a particular farm, is vital for reinforcing agriculture. It can lead to more sustainable production, develop value-chains for minor crops, & provide socio-economic benefits.

In Focus: Rare Diseases

The term ‘rare disease’ characterizes conditions that affect a small percentage of the population. But as a group, they are anything but rare. It is estimated that at any given time, 263-446M people in the world & 72-96M in India have a rare disease.

A #pandemic like #COVID19 calls for us to be cooperative. The uniform distribution of vaccines globally will help revive economies and livelihoods affected by the pandemic. All countries need to work together to vaccinate people, especially #healthcare workers.
