*Ten priority actions* • *1* Origins: track down the origins of the virus in an open, scientific, and unbiased way not influenced by geopolitical agendas • *2* Non-pharmaceutical interventions: suppress the epidemic through the proven package of non-pharmaceutical interventions, as accomplished by several countries including several in the Asia-Pacific region • *3* Science-based policy making: base policy making on objective scientific evidence and stop politicians and others in positions of power from subverting clinical trials and other scientific protocols • *4* Timely and consistent data: collect and publish timely and internationally consistent data on the state of the pandemic, including humanitarian and economic consequences • *5* Justice in access to tools to fight COVID-19: ensure universal access to the tools to fight COVID-19, including test kits, therapeutics, and prospective vaccines • *6* Emergency financing: secure access of developing countries to financing from international sources, especially from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank • *7* Protect vulnerable groups: direct urgent protection towards vulnerable groups, including older people, people in poverty and hunger, women who are vulnerable, children, people with chronic diseases and disabilities, the homeless, migrants, refugees, Indigenous Peoples, and ethnic and racial minorities • *8* Long-term financial reform: prepare for a deep restructuring of global finances, including debt relief, new forms of international financing, and reform of monetary arrangements • *9* Green and resilient recovery: economic recovery will be based on public-investment-led growth in green, digital, and inclusive technologies, based on the Sustainable Development Goals • *10* Global peace and cooperation: support UN institutions and the UN Charter, resisting any attempts at a new cold war Is that all? [2020-11-23 13:59:02] [Kristian Andersen] I find #10 to be very important - "Global peace and cooperation". Get on it Peter. [2020-11-23 15:12:16] [Eddie Holmes] A new cold war sounds fun. I love a good spy film. [2020-11-23 15:59:09] [Robert Garry] Grover Cleveland served twice non-consecutively as the 22nd and 24th president, from 1885-1889 and 1893-1897. Trump is bound to run again unless he ends up in prison (I'd say orange suit for the orange idiot is 100% on merit, but 50/50 in reality). IF he runs again and IF he get's re-elected a cold ward will indeed be fun compared to what else will come. [2020-11-23 16:02:56] [Eddie Holmes] Does appear to be plan: poison the well now for Biden and then come back as the saviour in '24. Jesus. [2020-11-23 16:29:01] [Kristian Andersen] IF he runs again, America has bigger issues to deal with than Trump.

Just a fragment and a press release. Classic PREDICT.
