A great opportunity to hear from a leading expert on #olderpeople and #COVIDー19 Dr David Nabarro

Let's make sure that keeping our distance from people brings us closer #together. PHYSICAL DISTANCING, not social distancing! #COVID19 #olderpeople

Remember: be #kind

And what will the next 100 days bring? World brace yourselves if this takes hold in lower income countries...

This story inspired me amidst the gloom

Thank you @MalakaGharib for this profile of our amazing HelpAge International colleague Shah Dedar working hard for older people in Coxs Bazar in #bangladesh COMIC: Looking For A 'Helper' In The Age Of Coronavirus npr.org/sections/goats…

Kudos to Clive Myrie for a poignant piece on #COVID deaths in the London borough of #Newham. Reminds me of the inequality in our society and how those in the poorest communities suffer most #BBCNewsTen

#Outrageous... she only spoke the truth (that we all want to hear)

Never thought I would find myself cheering on Theresa May! #DfIDmerger

Great to have teamed my former Amnesty International colleagues up with @helpage to call out ageist responses to #COVID19. It feels good to #standtogether and say no to #ageism!

Great video from our colleagues at HelpAge International Jordan showing the #ageism older people experience. #IDOP2020 #ExposeAgeism

Today's International Day of Older People comes in a year where #COVID19 has exposed older people around the world to extreme forms of ageism. Check out these videos we have made at HelpAge International to challenge the assumptions we all make about #olderpeople #ExposeAgeism

A big THANK YOU to all our incredible campaigners who are inspiring people around the world to notice & challenge ageism this week. #IDOP2020 Let’s use this energy to continue to #ExposeAgeism for a better life in older age. Will you join us? helpage.org/exposeageism 🎧Bensound.com

Goodbye and thank you @BBCMarkMardell. I will miss you on Fridays and Sundays. BBC News will be the poorer without you.

This says it all... the inequity in vaccine distribution is just plain wrong. This is not a time for vaccine nationalism #PeoplesVaccine

I just joined world leaders, scientists, celebrities and +1m people to call on rich governments to share the recipes and waive the #patents for the life-saving #Covid vaccines, so that more countries can produce them! Sign now and RT for a #PeoplesVaccine fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/pe…

When will the English realise that God Save the Queen is the national anthem of the UK, not of England? Find your own song! Come on Scotland! #EnglandvsScotland #EUROS2020
