The whole world wants a vaccine, but countries will naturally try to secure a supply for themselves first.

.@WHO is launching a new #WearAMask challenge!.By wearing a mask, you are sending a message of solidarity and protecting other people, especially those most vulnerable to #COVID19. Take a photo or a video of yourself wearing a mask, share it and nominate friends to do the same ⬇️

Way beyond acceptable - @GlobalHealthAct we have a clear policy of rejecting field studies that do not include national scientists and institutions. Time this became normal in scientific publishing.
This is outrageous - an RCT cutting off water to tenants in Nairobi "slums" to see if it induces their landlords to pay the utility bill. And reading the paper just makes it worse. (1/9).

Yes, agree the "at a glance" situation is bad. But it would be interesting to develop a conceptual framework of factors that might be important to consider (or not) for assessing diversity/representation in #globalhealth boards, panels, etc. Here's a shopping list:.
@PeterByass @GlobalHealthBMJ I agree that our quick and dirty grab does not capture equity in all its spectrum. But if the macro is so bad - i guess it is time to start getting our global health order first. As there is progress we will improve on the metric.
