"What Are We Waiting For?"

This morning I saw this tweet from the excellent Maria Van Kerkhove. Here's an excerpt:

"We are not yet living with #COVID19 responsibly. Not even close.

Short🧵

↗️People are dying unnecessarily
↗️Millions infected each week
↗️Billions not fully vaccinated
↗️Lives & livelihoods suffering
↘️Dismantling systems needed to end the global emergency & fight the next one."

-- and --

"What keeps me up at night is the complacency, people suffering, death, the dismantling of surveillance, testing, sequencing, workforce…

Pandemic preparedness should be happening now… while we are fighting the current pandemic. Invest now. What are we waiting for?"
