As we fight Ebola in DRC,
#coronavirus in China & globally, we remember Pete Salama, 1st head of@WHO's Health Emergencies Program. He led by example, a life devoted to public service, human health & justice.

Anti-Chinese sentiment is unconscionable. Epidemics bring out worst in humankind, spurred by fear of "the other"
#coronarovirus doesn't have a nationality; it's a pathogen threatening us all. Let's come together as a shared humanity to fight disease, inequity, discrim, & stigmaThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
What about Chinese students returning to classes in US. Or journalists reporting in China. These US quarantines & travel restrictions are against
@WHO recs. US should be global health leaders, keep calm, & rely on sound evidence. Those days are gone!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

When did
@CDCgov last use fed#quarantaine power? Answer: Rarely, even for smallpox, polio, SARS, Ebola, MERS. Andrew Speaker quarantined re MDR TB. Fact is, ph powers reside in states. w/ Ebola,@CDCgov handed cases to states. During 1918 Flu, mass quarantines, but at city levelThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.

@CDCgov just said, legally quarantining evacuees in Calif 14 days. It's a reasonable evidence-based precaution. Incubation#WuhanCoronovirus 2-14 days; prudent ph measure. But CDC shd have tried volun coop: As a social contract for evac, citizens agree to act for common good.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Calling 2019-nCoV a PHEIC fulfills the legal criteria established in the International Health Regulations. Now it is time to come together as a common humanity to create a Global Action Plan to address this great global health threat.

@WHO declares global emerg for#coronavirus, deeply diplomatic lang, praising China@DrTedros right to declare PHEIC. China's been more transparent but responded late &#quarantined >50 mil people.

We do need > knowledge of

Today,
@WHO decides whether#WuhanCoronavirus is a PHEIC. Self-evidently, this is a global emergency.@DrTedros should declare a PHEIC. Vital for@WHO to uphold essential values of#IHR: public health, human rights & int'l trade. That applies to ALL countries, including China.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.

Outbreaks like 2019-nCoV are challenges that transcend borders. It will require international cooperation, information sharing, and planning from the international community if we wish to manage the disease. Out just now in

Public health interventions must respect human rights and dignity. We saw during Ebola in West Africa that restrictive orders led to violence and public mistrust that risked amplifying the spread of Ebola. We must learn from those lessons.https://bit.ly/3aVxmtC

@tedros wants intermediate emerg level to afford@WHO flexibility. How would this work legally? Renegotiating#IHR would be vast job, taking years w/ 196 states parties. What criteria would we use? What powers would result? In meantime,#coronaravirus spreads. No time to loseThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
