NEW WHO guidance on disability during #COVID19. Populations with #disability may be impacted more significantly by #coronavirus. This can be mitigated if simple actions & protective measures are taken
👉 bit.ly/33ZDtKo Disability considerations during the COVID-19 outbreak.
People with #disability may be at greater risk of contracting #COVID19 because:
• Physical barriers to use basic hygiene facilities
• Need to touch things
• Difficulty in enacting social distancing
• Barriers to accessing public health & #coronavirus information People with disability may be at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 because:<br /> • Physical barriers to use basic hygiene facilities<br /> • Need to touch things<br /> • Difficulty in enacting social distancing<br /> • Barriers to accessing public health and coronavirus information

MY OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF UGANDA ON MEDIA CURFEW

I would like to use this chance to thank the government's effort in trying to control the spread of Covid-19 at a time Uganda has 45 confirmed cases, by the time of writing this. There will surely be more cases.
MY OPEN LETTER TO THGovernment has put in place many measures to flatten the Covid-19 spread, so to speak. These include the partial lockdown, including the ban on private and public transport.
These measures are in good faith and we appreciate; life first despite some of the early forgivable mistakes as admitted by Your Excellency in your last address.

Your Excellency, Ministry of Health officials, the UPDF police, and other security agencies have done a tremendous

World War II led to creation of UN, IMF, World Bank & present world order. 2008 financial crisis changed financial regulation. 9/11 led to global war on terror,heightened government surveillance & tighter airport security.

My predictions on how #COVIDー19 will change the world:
The future of interaction is online. Instead of asking “why are we doing this online?”, the new question will be “why are we doing this in person?”. People will ask if meetings should simply have been emails. This is affect work, meeting, conferences, religious worship etc
Internet as a right. Government and individuals will start to see internet as a necessary infrastructure. Since outbreak started, schools & work have moved online. People without internet are at a disadvantage. Internet will become as important a right as healthcare and security.

As we navigate unprecedented times, we must take unprecedented action to help our residents & our economy now & in the future. That’s why I am launching an Economic Support & Recovery Task Force to help protect Toronto’s economic success in the wake of the #COVIDー19 pandemic.
The Task Force will identify immediate and longer-term economic recovery strategies for residents and businesses, with a focus on supporting those segments of the economy that are most strongly impacted by #COVIDー19, such as tourism, hospitality and entertainment.
The focus of the Task Force will be on quickly determining what current supports and stimulus work needs to be done. The City will be working with industry partners to identify actions to support businesses, workers, and residents in responding to the economic impact of COVID-19.

I haven't said much here for almost a week (some RTs & key notes, but little else). I didn't want to write 'til I had spoken to @TOPublicHealth & the Raptors doctors. Let me start by saying...as a part of the Raptors travel party, I was tested for #COVIDー19 on Thurs AM (1 of 17)
I started quarantining myself on Wednesday night, as a precaution, when the Rudy Gobert news broke. By Thursdsy A.M., after my swab test, I was at home in isolation. And I've been holed-up in my bedroom since...while my wife & kid have full run of the rest of the house. (2)
I haven't left my room in 4 days. Luckily, I have an ensuite bathroom, 🤣. But I haven't been outside or left this 10x10 space in 96 hrs. I haven't hugged my wife or played w/ my kid. I'm having Skype or WhatsApp video calls w/ my family while we're all in the house together! (3)

So those running our governments can be held accountable in the future for their reckless prioritising of profit over public interest re: #COVIDー19 I want to start a discussion about what action should have been taken to prevent the spread of this virus.
Bringing in people who have commented on this. @GreenRupertRead @GeorgeMonbiot @GretaThunberg @ExtinctionR @RogerHallamCS21

Below I will list some of the obvious action I think should have happened to stop the spread of #COVIDー19.
1) To me the most obvious immediate action should have been an international moratorium on international travel and flying until the situation had been brought under control in China. At least a structure for this should have been put in place.
