This is a photo of @WHO’s Health Security Council discussing #2019nCoV today. We're moving fast on:
-providing diagnostic tools
-mobilizing resources for the global response
-preparing the technical mission to 🇨🇳
.@WHO is working with:
-clinical networks for #2019nCoV acute respiratory disease patient care
-modelling networks for updated transmission estimates
-laboratory networks for molecular testing & equipping laboratories for rapid detection
.@WHO is also working with our infection, prevention and control (IPC) network to provide clear messages for #healthworkers in line with our IPC guidance; and with countries on implementing early epidemiology investigations.
.@WHO is reaching out to countries who aren’t consistently sharing surveillance information as required under International Health Regulations & asking them to improve the balance between current containment measures & protecting the flow of travel & trade

I have decided to reconvene the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee on the new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) tomorrow to advise me on whether the current outbreak constitutes a public health emergency of international concern.
Most of the 6000+ new #coronavirus cases are in #China – just 1%, or 68 cases, have been recorded to date in 15 other countries. But some person-to-person transmission in 3 countries outside of 🇨🇳 has been recorded. This potential for further global spread is why I called the EC
The vast majority of new #coronavirus cases have been recorded in #China. Most cases reported outside are in people with a travel history from 🇨🇳, or have been in contact with people who have been there. But there are some signs of person-to-person transmission outside 🇨🇳.

I am on my way to Beijing, 🇨🇳 to meet with the Government & health experts supporting the #coronavirus response. My @WHO colleagues & I would like to understand the latest developments & strengthen our partnership with 🇨🇳 in providing further protection against the outbreak.
We are working 24/7 to support 🇨🇳 & its people during this difficult time & remain in close contact with affected countries, with our regional & country offices deeply involved. @WHO is updating all countries on the situation & providing specific guidance on what to do to respond
Building on experience and systems already in place for related pathogens, @WHO has activated global networks of experts, quickly developed advice for countries everywhere, and is working with them to activate their response systems. #coronavirus

I am not declaring the new #coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern today. The Emergency Committee was divided over whether the outbreak represents a PHEIC. This is an emergency in China, but it has not yet become a global health emergency.
This should not be taken as a sign that @WHO does not think the situation is serious. WHO is following this new #coronavirus outbreak every minute of every day, at country, regional and global level. I will not hesitate to reconvene the committee at a moment’s notice if needed.
I thank the Government of #China for its cooperation and transparency. The government has been successful in isolating and sequencing the virus very quickly, and has shared that genetic sequence with @WHO and the international community. #coronavirus

[THREAD] China Coronavirus Outbreak
A deadly virus is spreading from Asia, affecting hundreds of people and resulting in dozens of deaths, in what may become a gloabal health epidemic. This thread contains news about the outbreak.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus #WarWatch
On Dec 30, 2019, Chinese authorities confirmed cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A team of national experts was sent to carry out detection tests. Patients at a local seafood market were put in quarantine.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus
Liu Youning, a professor of epidemiology and respiratory medicine, told the Global Times that the #coronavirus found in #Wuhan appears to be far less serious than the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (#SARS) or the Middle East respiratory syndrome (#MERS).

However, it shifts the focus back to the old narrative that Kenyans are somehow responsible for the current insecurity, and that if we "got out of Somalia", the "Banditry" would stop. It also very subtly blames the 'Somali Muslim'.
#AlShabaab #AlshabaabAttacks #NorthernKenya
For over 56 years, those in the North Eastern Territories have been held hostage by the same idiotic thinking pushed by KEGovernment & Media (apologies @DennisOkari) that is OWNED by our political leaders..
It is insanity! In this thread, the historical background of #AlShabaab
@DennisOkari ..from where we last left off. Scroll down or search the other Threads by looking for [#AlShabba] and [#FireWalkers] .
But first, a recap....

Thanks Michael, let's take a look at this, what is the problem with the UN's "Sustainable Development" Goals?
First of all, much like the UN's Security Council structure, the "Sustainable Development" Goals are a way of maintaining the violent rule of the Global North over the Global South:
UN SD Goals 1-6 seem acceptable in principle. The problems really begin with the assumptions of SDG 7: Affordable & "Clean" Energy. Problem: there is no such thing as "Clean" Energy. It's about reducing energy use in the Global North not exporting corporate energy to the GS.

You are worried about #facebook and #FaceApp, but use #Microsoft #Office every day? Time to be concerned! Did you know that Microsoft is processing lots of data about you without telling you about it? 1/n #GDPR #ePrivacy
Through its software and operating system, #Microsoft collects and stores personal data about user behavior, so-called #diagnostic data, on a large scale. Microsoft collects this data in various ways: 2/n
via system-generated logs of events on its servers and via the telemetry client in Windows 10, in Office 365 ProPlus, and in the mobile Office apps. These telemetry clients collect diagnostic data on your device and send this information to Microsoft's servers in the US. 3/n

The U.S. Senate passed a major defense, labor, #health & education funding bill today on a bipartisan 85-7 vote. Pluses in health #research, health #workforce, other initiatives now to reconcile w/House which hasn't moved its bill yet.. /1 @CardinalWaypt senate.gov/legislative/LI…
Can Congress get #health funding done before the new FY19 begins Oct. 1? Maybe. Holdover temporary funding then finish the work in a post-election lame duck session? Depends. /2 @CardinalWaypt
This is more certain: 2019 work for 2020 #health spending will be much more difficult. The new Congress elected this November will get this ticket after the 2yr Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 $$$ expires,, w/big deficits in view. /3 @CardinalWaypt cbo.gov/publication/53…
