World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Feb 5 that a $675 million preparedness & response plan covering had been initiated to protect states with weaker health systems to prevent the spread of #coronavirus

I found this on a social media group and thought it was profound and worth sharing.

A friend of mine got a bad boda accident today, when her SafeBoda was knocked by another careless regular boda. She fell off & hit her head on the tarmac... but she was wearing a HELMET! She's home recovering from bruises, yet we could have had a much worse story. #wearhelmets
