I agree. I feel better having watched it. It comes across as very transparent, and the info is coming direct from the people with the scientific or epidemiological background, rather a mangled version from a politician to a journalist.
If they don't know the answer they say that. Which I find refreshing and reassuring.
The cooperation between countries sounds good. They are helping Iran and the Chinese experience is helpful.
They say some Chinese provinces have gone from a few cases, to cluster, to full on overload, then back to single traceable cases.
They said the different stages are not progressive, you can be mitigating, researching and containing all at the same time.
He emphasized that the outbreak in each country is different and so measures will need to be tailored to the situation. They are saying that social distancing is not needed when community transmission is not established.
He said that the social distancing will defend on acceptance in the country and that will vary according to local factors.
There are issues with PPE which they are addressing, and with drugs.
The serological studies are being done in 25 countries, data to be shared to inform on infection rates and milder cases.
Def worth a watch.
