As she wrote in 2013, 'For now, in law outside of wartime, it is not a crime to cause mass destruction or loss of ecosystems. Our world has normalised... ecocide'." p.24.

"Like laws for crimes against peace, an ecocide law would trace its roots to wartime atrocities, in this case the annihilation of forests in South-East Asia, first by the UK's Royal Air Force during the guerrilla war known as the Malayan Emergency and later by the US Air Force in the Vietnam war. In 1970, the destruction inspired Arthur Galston, a plant biologist at Yale University whose PhD had led to development of agent orange, to coin the word 'ecocide'." p.24.

"The difficulties with assessing public health policies in terms of the standard model of paternalism are often under-recognised and under-explored. Given the lack of attention paid to these issues, perhaps we should not be overly pessimistic that progress is possible. When it comes to public health policy and practice, we should avoid trying to take a pre-made theory and simply applying it. Instead, we should carefully reflect on the case of public health to help us improve our theorising about the nature and ethical significance of paternalism in general." p.11.

"I return to my hotel room in central Wuhan to find a package from the local government waiting for me. They have sent foreign journalists two large bottles of hand sanitiser, 20 masks and a 55-page comic book dedicated to sanitation. In one cartoon, a grinning bottle of ethyl alcohol reminds readers to wipe down their phones up to four times a day. But the main item in the care package is a hastily bound white booklet with a cover that reads simply: The Chinese Way. ... But the omissions in the document are often more telling than the official timeline itself. The Chinese Way makes no mention of Dr Li Wenliang, the national hero of the epidemic. On December 30, Li raised an early alarm when his hospital in Wuhan began seeing patients with a Sars-like strain of pneumonia."

"What should I do?"	Glove Awareness: RCN
What can we do?	What must I/we do?

On the 15th April in London I attended the 3rd RIPEN workshop (Re-envisioning Infection Practice Ecologies in Nursing) I learned a lot from listening to colleagues far closer day-to-day - night-to-night to the sharp end of infection control and protective measures. Of particular interest was discussion on hand-washing and the circumstances, frequency and numbers of dressing packs that are used and the constant search for evidence-based practice.

Actually without taking anything from those people at the infection coal-face, can I take back that reference to "far closer"?

Take it back, because this really matters to us ALL.
