#DavosSafe showed us the collective approach to infectious disease is CRITICAL to managing spread. Individual responsibility was not expected. What was offered was organised, structural support for control and ‘no test, no play. Sounds Covid smart, right. #CovidIsNotOver

@LaTrioli @samanthamaiden I disagree. I think it’s faux analysis. The precautionary principle is epidemiology 101. In the face of a novel virus it’s prudent. Biological plausability is also epi 101, children are vectors. O epidemiologist ever said SHOULD return. Hence the emotion possibly all the authors
