@jonmarsk Indeed, @jonmarsk, we do not know the true scale of COVID-19 mortality and it will take time, much more and better quality data, and careful research to better clarify #COVID-19’s overall mortality impact. #poptwitter (1/11)
@jonmarsk N.B. demographers r still studying the nature + extent of the 1918 flu pandemic. Death reg today, whilst still incomplete & deficient in many countries, is better than 100 yrs ago. But the wide range + uncertainty assoc. w/ 1918 flu pandemic deaths shld give us much pause. (2/11)
@jonmarsk First - we need to remind ourselves that #COVID-19 related mortality is multi-faceted, as described by @AndrewNoymer, entailing direct-direct deaths, direct-indirect deaths, and indirect deaths. And we also need to think about competing risks. #poptwitter #epitwitter (3/11)

.@fercgb of @Refugees also notes the close relationship between discriminatory nationality laws (particularly on basis of gender) and barriers to legal identity. #CRVS #ID4D @UN_LIEG @PopDevUNFPA @IDRC_CRDI @OpenDataWatch @Data2X @PopDevUNFPA Image
Key achievement of global action plan to end #statelessness: over 30 @UN states have made pledges to conduct studies or include additional questions in #2020Census round on nationality/statelessness #BecauseEverybodyCounts @unhcr @PopDevUNFPA @fercgb @PetraNahmias Image
Statelessness in #Zimbabwe = multidimensional problem: deriving from colonial legacies, regional migratory patterns & inconsistencies + gaps in legal protections. Hence @ZimStats has pledged to include questions in 2022 census to identify stateless persons @unhcr @PopDevUNFPA ImageImageImageImage

Even as HIV/AIDS-related deaths have reached lowest level of this century, new @UNAIDS report unaids.org/sites/default/… notes that we're NOT on track to reach 2020 global goals for reducing #HIV deaths.
We believe reductions in mortality cannot be taken for granted with treatment scale-up. Deaths must be tracked at the subnational, and program-level in order to ensure program performance. This is especially impt as we implement @WHO advanced HIV care guidelines and #diff care
To do this, we must step up efforts to trace lost patients and document true outcomes, including causes of death, and track new indicators for death. Investments in #CRVS (Civil registration and vital statistics) and networked information systems are also on the critical path
