Should we be concerned about #coronavirus? Short answer, Yes. I have written a systematic set of answers to vital questions facing @WHO, China, US, & the world. Reading links is really boring, but I do urge you to have a look at today's @Health_Affairs

We all know Trump Admin abandoned any pretense of US global health leadership. We knew he gutted @CDCgov & White House resources & experienced leaders. Now, @Laurie_Garrett offers a definitive acct of how US is not prepared for this or future outbreaks

As we fight Ebola in DRC, #coronavirus in China & globally, we remember Pete Salama, 1st head of @WHO's Health Emergencies Program. He led by example, a life devoted to public service, human health & justice. He still inspires.

Anti-Chinese sentiment is unconscionable. Epidemics bring out worst in humankind, spurred by fear of "the other" #coronarovirus doesn't have a nationality; it's a pathogen threatening us all. Let's come together as a shared humanity to fight disease, inequity, discrim, & stigma

What about Chinese students returning to classes in US. Or journalists reporting in China. These US quarantines & travel restrictions are against @WHO recs. US should be global health leaders, keep calm, & rely on sound evidence. Those days are gone!

When did @CDCgov last use fed #quarantaine power? Answer: Rarely, even for smallpox, polio, SARS, Ebola, MERS. Andrew Speaker quarantined re MDR TB. Fact is, ph powers reside in states. w/ Ebola, @CDCgov handed cases to states. During 1918 Flu, mass quarantines, but at city level

* @CDCgov just said, legally quarantining evacuees in Calif 14 days. It's a reasonable evidence-based precaution. Incubation #WuhanCoronovirus 2-14 days; prudent ph measure. But CDC shd have tried volun coop: As a social contract for evac, citizens agree to act for common good.

Calling 2019-nCoV a PHEIC fulfills the legal criteria established in the International Health Regulations. Now it is time to come together as a common humanity to create a Global Action Plan to address this great global health threat.

* @WHO declares global emerg for #coronavirus, deeply diplomatic lang, praising China @DrTedros right to declare PHEIC. China's been more transparent but responded late & #quarantined >50 mil people. No time to lose. Convene hi-level multi-disc cte. We need Global Action Plan now

We do need > knowledge of #coronavirus & we should consider reforming #IHR. But that can't delay calling a PHEIC & launching a robust global action plan to contain the spread in China & globally

Legal criteria for #PHEIC fully met. Time to declare global emergency. No time to lose for robust @WHO Global Action Plan to fight global spread of #coronavirus Key elements: vaccine devel, surv & ph, meeting social needs. Must defend human rights and facilitate safe int'l travel

Today, @WHO decides whether #WuhanCoronavirus is a PHEIC. Self-evidently, this is a global emergency. @DrTedros should declare a PHEIC. Vital for @WHO to uphold essential values of #IHR: public health, human rights & int'l trade. That applies to ALL countries, including China.

Outbreaks like 2019-nCoV are challenges that transcend borders. It will require international cooperation, information sharing, and planning from the international community if we wish to manage the disease. Out just now in @JAMA_current

Public health interventions must respect human rights and dignity. We saw during Ebola in West Africa that restrictive orders led to violence and public mistrust that risked amplifying the spread of Ebola. We must learn from those lessons. bit.ly/3aVxmtC

It is better to act decisively now rather than wait to see how the 2019-nCoV outbreak unfolds globally. New in @JAMA_current with @alexandraphelan and @RebeccaKatz5 on challenges presented by the growing outbreak. bit.ly/3aVxmtC

* @tedros wants intermediate emerg level to afford @WHO flexibility. How would this work legally? Renegotiating #IHR would be vast job, taking years w/ 196 states parties. What criteria would we use? What powers would result? In meantime, #coronaravirus spreads. No time to lose
