Hate Can’t Kill a Virus, Please Be Kind to Others

May 21, 2020

The coronavirus pandemic is definitely a bad thing. Sadly, people can make bad things even worse than they already are. U.N.

Not Just Dance Moves: TikTok, Snapchat and other teen faves are essential spaces for social connection and self expression

May 21, 2020

TikTok isn’t only useful for practical health information—although doctors and nurses have been showing off some killer moves over the past few weeks, and reaching teenagers who might otherwise be missed by the UK government’s lacking communication strategy. It is also providing a sense of community, something that is more and more important as the possibility of lockdown looms longer, and digital spaces shift from being a secondary aspect of our social lives, to being a an essential space for maintaining social connections. For teenagers, this is particularly important.

Covid-19 in low-income countries – we need rapid learning about effective handwashing initiatives

May 20, 2020

Frequent and proper handwashing with soap is one of the most important measures that can be used to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus, along with physical distancing, avoiding touching one’s face (eyes, nose and mouth) and practising good respiratory hygiene. However, like physical distancing measures, frequent handwashing with soap and water is next to impossible for huge swathes of the global population.

LSE: Responses to COVID-19 must focus on communities and not just past epidemics

May 20, 2020

In the current global pandemic, there is a lot that can be learned from past epidemics. What is poignantly missing, however, is acknowledgement of local perspectives to disease outbreak and response. Jeremy Allouche and Dienedort Wandji argue we need to better understand how individuals and local communities in Africa, and beyond, have learnt and developed social, cultural and institutional mechanisms to deal with protracted crises.
