This is a phenomenal statement from @ADPHUK
One disheartening thing about some of the scientific communications during the pandemic has been a painfully narrow view
None of that here
A holistic, considered and progressive approach to management of the pandemic

First, focus on a combination strategy
Stop focussing on silver bullets or game changers and start getting the basics right. Promote good public health messages. Support test/trace/isolate.
Complex problems don't have simple one stop solutions

Second, win HEARTS and MINDS
Foster trust, goodwill and collaboration (hint; this is NOT achieved by punishment, shaming and fearmongering, no matter how many ❤️🔁 it gets)
**Protect communities**

Third, provide RESOURCES
We are asking monumental things of individuals, businesses and public services
Funding now is an upfront investment which will pay off massively in the medium to long term. We must provide what is needed

I'll finish by saying the relentless focus *just* on transmission of the virus has been to the detriment of much of the scientific/academic communication during this pandemic
Public health is so much more than epidemiology
We need more public health
