hi Shiva!

Morning Cynthia - It’s coming through really clearly for me. I think the issue may be at your end, can you plug into headphones or a speaker of some kind?

Volume is good here in Snohomish, WA USA! Hi Cindy in Lusaka!!!!

Hi Cynthia, its very clear to me as well.

any comments or questions you would like to share during the session please do so in the chat box here and will get to them during the last ten mins our time together

Audio and visual is very clear here in Southern California

Earbuds totally helped thanks!!

Hi Cynthia

So many names of colleagues and friends here. So sorry not to join earlier to say hello to everyone properly, one of the drawbacks of a virtual conference, we can’t hug in the room beforehand!

THE SLIDE OF THE EFFECT ON tb NOW AND ONGOING - discussed to quickly for me to understand and it seems like an important point for me to go to my moc's with/write lte

I hear you, Aaron! Virtual hugs all around!!

ok Sandra we will dig a bit deeper into that during the q&a. I will share a few resources that might be helpful here as well

Indeed! Virtual hugs to everyone!!!!!

Hi everyone!

there are lots of resources and info on the impact on TB programs here: http://www.stoptb.org/covid19.asp

A suggestion: Could the speakers rename themselves to include their twitter handles? I want to call out their smart remarks more widely!

Or maybe put them in the chat?

great idea Aaron! I will suggest verbally in a moment

thanks Cindy!

Hi everyone, David's slides are above! You can download from the chat, we will also update the online agenda.

please start raising your hands and I will come to you next!

One of my colleagues at RESULTS UK had written a blog for us on Covid-19 and TB. Once this call is over, do take a look here: https://www.results.org.uk/blog/devastating-effect-covid%E2%80%9319-pandemic-tb-response-minimum-5-years-progress-lost-and-6-million (I just tweeted this too.)

That blog is by Rachael Hore, she’s brilliant.
