.@UNHumanRights, @UNmigration , @Refugees and WHO: the health and rights of refugees, migrants and stateless persons must be protected in #COVID19 response 👇 bit.ly/2wUAEOD
In the face of the #COVID19 crisis, we are all vulnerable. The #coronavirus has shown that it does not discriminate - but many refugees, those forcibly displaced, stateless persons and migrants are at greater risk. bit.ly/2wUAEOD
3/4 of the 🌍’s refugees & many migrants are hosted in developing regions where health systems are already overwhelmed & under-capacitated, & live in:
-overcrowded camps
-settlements
-make-shift shelters
-reception centers
where they lack access to health services, clean 🚰 & 🚽.

#COVIDー19 crisis response is another area where the performance of Prime Minister #ImranKhan's cabinet is inadequate & late resulting in a rapid surge in #coronavirus cases+infections. His TV address was unimpressive. @ImranKhanPTI can learn from @realDonaldTrump & @NYGovCuomo.
Unlike #USA+#Europe, #Pakistan is right next door to two epicenters of #COVIDー19 spread: #China & #Iran. China was initially late but later took impressive steps to contain the spread, incl quarantining #Pakistani citizens. Unlike Iran where Pk citizens visited in large numbrs.
What steps did PM #ImranKhan take for a #CoronaFreePakistan when it was obvious #Pakistan faced #COVIDー19 spread threat from #Iran; & when it became obvious that almost every neighbor incl #Iraq+#Turkey+#Gulf traced 1st cases to Iran & when #Tehran failed to warn neighbors?

#COVIDー19 22 March 2020|

IMPORTANT THREAD.

Part 1

There’s important data coming out of Italy on confirmed cases & deaths due to COVID. This should be treated as an Indicator & Warning by all of us. Please watch & share. (Birds chirping in the background for moral support!)
2. #COVID19 Part 2

Reliable data source:

Coronavirus.jhu.edu
3. #COVIDー19 Part 3

Government policy & guidance needs to rapidly turn into a proactive stance to reassure us, the public, that there is a plan. What happens when, and it will happen, we get zero confirmed no new cases?

It was never about the weather.
It was a ploy to take over the oceans, in more ways than the criminal elite already have stolen

Long thread of 23/
As violence increases and tension gets volatile in the #Ebola epidemic, those following it should learn who is fighting, what they are fighting for, and where their funding & arms come from. Here's a good start: [MORE]

 Burundi, a single-party state with fragmented opposition, revised its Constitution in 2018 allowing only 2% of the population access to the new text. B will hold natl elections in 2020, & tension/repression is high. Armed grps have invaded from #DRC killing villagers.
3/
 Burundi is protected by China & Russia: "Two permanent members of the security council have explicitly asked the UNSC to withdraw Burundi from the agenda of the security council because the situation in the country is not a threat to peace and international security."

#Ebola thread: Sorry this is so late; another disease demanded my attention. And the news here is so routinely awful I barely know where to start. This outbreak is really, really not going well.
Here's what I see:
2. @MinSanteRDC reports +14 cases today. This reporting week is 2 days old & there have already been 22 #Ebola cases. They also report 10 deaths, 7 of them community deaths. The people who looked after those dying patients will be cases themselves in the next week or 2. Fact.
3. So the outbreak totals are now 1168 cases & 741 deaths. After the West African outbreak (admitted still far, far bigger) I naively thought the world would never let an #Ebola outbreak get big again.
I was wrong.
