COVID-19 is forcing entire countries into lock down, killing thousands of people and devastating the global economy. The virus is so easily transmitted it is possible that approximately 60% of all people in the world could become infected without radical containment measures.There is no easy answer but I would like to offer some thoughts based on the Situation going.

First is the concept of “social distancing”. While it is imperative that we break the chain of transmission by keeping physical distance from each other, never have we all needed connection so much. 

Second, the commitment to innovation for COVID-19 diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics is humbling and a true global effort. But we absolutely must keep it like that: innovation from every corner of the world, for the whole world. Infectious diseases leave no room for partisan agendas, and these essential innovations must be accessible to all as global goods or we will not be victorious.

Third, this unparalleled global effort to tackle an infectious disease must leave a positive and lasting legacy. Not just of successfully overcoming COVID-19, but of stronger health systems that are able to provide health for all. This should be a legacy of true political commitment to real investment in epidemic preparedness that can improve outcomes for people with any disease.
