SUMMARY:Zero Covid UK - Covid in Taiwan: How a zero Covid country managed the pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Zero Covid will be hosting Shu-Ti Chiou MD\, PhD\, MSc to find out about how Taiwan has responded to the pandemic.\nClick here to register!  \nShu-Ti is the founder and President of the Health & Sustainable Development Foundation\, and Global Vice President for Capacity Building at the International Union for Health Promotion & Education. Shu-Ti is a prominent public health practitioner\, who played a leading role in Taiwan’s response to SARS. She is now closely involved in Taiwan’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. \nTaiwan has had very low case rates and very few deaths throughout the pandemic. Learning from SARS\, Taiwan decided to prevent community spread of Covid-19 through travel controls\, masking\, tracing and isolation. In May 2021 there was a big spike in cases\, which was successfully stopped. Taiwan is now facing an emerging Omicron outbreak. \nJoin the campaign call to find out more about how Taiwan’s zero Covid strategy has worked\, what political issues it has raised and what we can learn from them here! \n  \n\n\n\n\nVia Economics Observatory \n\nRead more about Covid in Taiwan:\n\nWhat we can learn from Taiwan’s response to the covid-19 epidemic\nHow has Taiwan navigated the pandemic?

SUMMARY:Zero Covid Coalition - Covid-19 has not gone away. Only the restrictions on it have.
DESCRIPTION:The pandemic is not receding\, with hospitalisations and deaths still high. Ignoring Covid-19 is reckless and this negligence must be opposed. \nThere are widespread and false claims that the pandemic is receding. Globally\, new cases are currently well over 3 million per day and around 4 times higher than the previous peak in April 2021. In addition\, this has happened extraordinarily suddenly\, with the surge taking place in the first few part of this year. With a short time lag new daily deaths have also begun to rise. If there is such a thing as a ‘mild’ pandemic\, this is not one of them. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe misinformation and even propaganda about the pandemic receding is clearly wrong. In Britain this is almost all based on the fall in recorded new cases. Yet deaths are still rising and hospitalisations remain stubbornly high. It is not known how much non-reporting there is of people who have had a positive lateral flow test. \nDespite this the government has abandoned its own ‘Plan B’\, PCR tests are largely a thing of the past and people are no longer advised to work from home. It is even reported that the requirement for those infected to self-isolate will be dropped. This is a reckless approach. \nAt our last meeting we reached over 48\,000 people online. Join us for our next meeting\, where will discuss the current phase of the crisis. \nZero Covid UK is part of the Zero Covid coalition convened by the Morning Star and Diane Abbott MP which organises regular online speaker meetings like these.
