Quantifying what we have witnessed among Ukrainian kids inside & outside of Ukraine. We visited one of the many "child friendly spaces" @SavetheChildren has helped set up inside Ukraine. (Here, the activity involved dreaming big, creating miracles in their hands.) @NBCNews Image Inside #Ukraine, @SavetheChildren is training staff to safeguard and responsibly support traumatized kids. We recently went to Ivankiv, where kids had survived 5 wks of occupation at the beginning of the war. It’s been a long 8 months since then. @NBCNews

This morning on the @TODAYshow, our team caught up with @chefjoseandres in #Beirut (only wish I’d been there too!) Tune in around 7:50am. @WCKitchen We also introduce you to one of @WCKitchen’s partners on the ground: Aline Kamakian, of Mayrig & Batchig. Seriously injured along with at least 25 of her employees, they were back in the kitchen the day after the blast. 🇱🇧 @TODAYshow

Researchers, scientists, public health experts told me the same thing: we can't just sit around waiting for vaccines. (Yes, multiple!) There are 165+ vaccines in development. (Great!) There will likely be vaccines brought to market. But maybe not. So, how do we live with a virus? Experts say we need to invest in better, faster testing, better contact tracing, better public health measures. Better therapies will come too. All of this will make it livable. There is no scenario, no one vaccine where we go straight to "normal." Bottom line: IT'S A LONG ROAD.
