Africa: Inquiry Says Covid Lockdowns Could Have Been Avoided - They're Right: [The Conversation Africa] The UK was one of the most locked down countries in the world during the COVID pandemic, but this was not inevitable - it was a failure of public health policy. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TPS1Kq #COVID19 #PandemicResponse #PublicHealth #Lockdown #UK

Africa: Surviving the Next Pandemic Could Depend On Where You Live: [UN News] A new global report warns that inequality is increasing the world's vulnerability to pandemics, making them more deadly, more costly and longer lasting - and where you live, could determine how badly impacted you are. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TP3T6X #PandemicResponse #GlobalInequality #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #Africa
