25 Mar Global Health Expert & TED Talker on COVID-19!
A close friend sent us this story by Karen Frances Eng from Zora.medium.com featuring global health expert Alanna Shaikh. Her perspective is fact-based, clear-eyed and no-nonsense. And yes, climate change is a big factor in the Age of Corona. A must-read.
Listen to Shaikh’s TED Talk here. It has already garnered over 5 million views. For good reason.
Alanna Shaikh
As humanity steps into the reality of life with Covid-19, we’re all searching for calm, expert voices to guide us in making sensible decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.

She offered a realistic yet somehow reassuring big-picture perspective that has already garnered more than 5 million views. I’m well acquainted with Shaikh’s comforting pragmatism and thoughtful intelligence because she also happens to be a colleague, friend, and fellow mother.
