If every country does what Italy is doing it will help avert widening social and health inequities. Do what France is doing and we will kill people over and above the virus effects. Austerity kills. Public investment saves lives. @MelissaSweetDr @ellyhowse #coronavirusaus
Italy suspended all mortgages payments and passed a $28 billion recovery plan to support their healthcare system, families and businesses. France is delaying business taxes and social security payments.

LOVE this! 👏 Well done #Mooroopna Park Primary School for leading the way. With the majority of kids’ diets being consumed at school, we need more models like this! Note the school also saw academic performance benefits. #auspol #springst @VicHealth

We will have more to say about housing and other social determinants of health in our Ten Year on Report #Marmot2020 to be published on 25 Feb.
More than 86,000 households in temporary accommodation. We know what that does to children’s lives.
