Perhaps the most difficult aspect of C-19 is the struggle to live in this new world of distancing and isolation. It’s important to remember then, that we are in this together, as a movement and a species. There is a humility in the way Covid unites us all – regardless of country, creed or colour.

Humans of XR
Lesley Morrison, Doctors for XR “We are only as safe as our most vulnerable. The poor suffer most in both crises and we urgently need to address
health and social inequalities. Global challenges need systemic change.
Neither Covid nor climate pay attention to borders, the world is a small place, and we’re all interconnected. This is the basis of planetary health.
Prevention is better than cure.
The role and crucial importance of scientific expertise needs to be, and has been, recognised. The cynicism and disregard for scientific expertise promoted by populist politicians has hopefully lost credibility. People are learning to trust and to value health and science professionals.”
