The World Health Organization have warned against “vaccine nationalism”, saying that wealthier countries that develop coronavirus treatments cannot expect to remain safe if poor nations remain exposed.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (right) told the Aspen Security Forum in the United States, via video-link from the WHO’s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland: “Vaccine nationalism is not good, it will not help us.
For the world to recover faster, it has to recover together, because it’s a globalised world: the economies are intertwined. Part of the world or a few countries cannot be a safe haven and recover”.
The US should pay heed – but we all know that the advice will fall on deaf ears because Donald Trump couldn’t care less.
A Japanese animator who got fed up with his eyeglasses fogging up while he wears a mask “used his noodle” to come up with a way to embrace the problem.
The way forward suddenly became clear when Takahiro Shibata fashioned coronavirus protective gear that looks like a bowl of ramen. In 3D, of course.
