Who is Dr. Harlem Brundtland? Compared to her does the WHO today flunk, and even Dr Fauci, Dr Redfield fall short
05/20/2020
Dr. Harlem Brundtland was head of the WHo during the SARS crisis which originated in China in 2003. Her swift action included questioning China's suppression of the openness of its scientific and medical community at the time, alerting the world to take action to control the epidemic. The U.S. clearly brings up Dr. Brundtland as the model that was not followed in its letter to the WHO of May 18, 2020. Dr. Redfield, head U.S. CDC was alerted by Dr. Gao Fu head of China's CDC and its medical scientific community on Dec. 31, 2019, and through Dr. Redfield the American medical scientific community including Dr. Fauci, in an early warning of what was to happen. Dr Brundtland is a three time prime minister of Norway starting with the first term in 1981 and ending with the third term in 1996. She was head of the Labor Party and had a distinguished record including her work in climate change, sustainable development and other issues. The WHO earned much respect under her leadership of the organization.

"Total" contact tracing's key role in controlling the coronavirus pandemic
05/26/2020
The case of Germany, South Korea, Kerala state in India, Taiwan, show it works to limit spread and helps reopening. Britain after some errors is back to contact tracing as the No. 1 mission, India depends on contact tracing to limit clusters and close them off. France and the U.S. are fumbling with the use of apps and discussions on privacy, where Germany moved ahead with only the phone and no app, low tech as in Kerala, but good health systems which the state has invested in. Britain and France, and the U.S. suffered from neglect of their health systems during the years when tech was "cool" and money got misallocated away from essential public services.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
