I’m struggling with how best to stress how fragile the global situation is, so I’ll be blunt:
Each week >2.6 million cases and >53,000 deaths are reported to @WHO
Reported, meaning that there are many others.
Stop and think about that.

There are also increasing trends in deaths in @WHOAFRO, @WHOEMRO, @WHO_Europe & @WHOWPRO.
Every death is a person—a parent, a grandparent, a son, a daughter, a friend—people who are loved, cherished, treasured.
The loss is unbearable. These losses are preventable.
The situation is getting worse, not better. There are >20 countries with exponential growth in cases right now…. in all regions of the world. This is not theoretical. This is happening right now. There are too many countries that are struggling to regain control over COVID-19.
We have tools, we have a global plan. We don’t have consistent policies globally—based on data and regular analyses—that are targeted, agile, time bound; that support people in keeping themselves & others safe.
Use of PHSM does not mean “lockdown”. It means having policies in place to lower risks every day. Surveillance, testing, supported health workers, training, adequate PPE, O2, 
, 
, avoid 3Cs, improved ventilation, vaccination (for those lucky enough to be offered one), etc.
We don’t have equitable distribution of tests, of treatments, of PPE, of vaccines… this is inexcusable bc this is fixable. There are solutions, partners, financing to solve this problem…but the world is not collectively doing enough to address this.

Remind governments of article 12 ICESCR. Free community spread is not a solution, it's a crime. Let unvaccinated people get infected is against humanity.
