@WHO coordinates international technical networks, which have been working together for decades on various pathogens, across a range of technical areas, from outbreaks to pandemics.
These networks are expanded & strengthened all the time.

Thanks @mrigankshail for this video summarizing “how we science”
Science is a process
Its been an incredible & heartbreaking year for #Science #Solutions #Solidarity
Hang in there, we will get through this
