One of the main things we’ve learned in the past months about #COVID19 is that the faster all cases are found, tested, isolated & cared for, the harder we make it for the virus to spread. This principle will save lives & mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic.

Grateful to @Amref_Worldwide for creating scholarships for nurses, midwives and female health workers. 🙌 $500k Keeping the pipeline strong is critical. The need for scholarships is a major barrier to scaling the workforce @Seed_Global @AfricaCDC @_AfricanUnion

Uganda caught its first case of #covid on airport screening. Test results in 3hrs!!! They quarantined the whole plane. #leadership #testkits

So where are we with #COVID19 testing in the U.S.? Nowhere close to where we need to be. The early lack of test kits, and the current limited number of supplies and extraction kits now required the U.S. to take a different approach to coronavirus response than other countries.

Breaking news: Congressman Massie has tested positive for being an asshole. He must be quarantined to prevent the spread of his massive stupidity. He's given new meaning to the term #Masshole . (Finally, something the president and I can agree on!)

Here’s a truly frightening thought: imagine a global pandemic with no global leadership... We need to trust in science, and unify now more than ever before. @DrTedros @DrSenait @doctorsoumya

It was great to virtually join the @WHO #ATACH global meeting session on collaborating across sectors to advance climate + health implementation.  Sectors must work together so we are not only investing in health, but also in the *fundamental underpinnings of our survival.* 🌍🌱

Acclaimed experts @JohnKerry and @VBKerry told us what's happening at the U.N. summit on climate change #COP26 . In the half-hour @GreaterBoston interview, the father-daughter duo each lent their expertise — and delighted at their worlds colliding.

yes, response to #covid19 failure. We’ve been lied to, misled, left unprepared. We don't have tests, know who’s infected, have nat’l plan or leadership, #ppe . We do know we’re vulnerable, united in this challenge. We know actions matter. #flattenthecurve
