    We don’t need a big brother style “virus detection network” to spy on us; we need better health care institutions, public health measures, medical bills, medical infrastructure and an overhaul if the health care system.

    Khm.. WHO detect system is working well, we did not have ebola or other pandemics of 3rd world countries because of WHO system. The major problem with current pandemic is China. It wasn’t able to hold the pandemic and didn’t allow anti-virus experts from world. It’s like a Chernobyl, but Soviet Union admitted its mistake and revealed the truth, but China didn’t

In a part of the United States with more than 17,000 years of human history, cultural preservation advocate Tracie Revis is working to turn the Ocmulgee Mounds into Georgia’s first national park and preserve. This park would be co-managed by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, bringing the tribal voice back to an area they were forcibly removed from 200 years ago. Revis explores the complex feelings of caring for this land and shows how it’s fostering healing in return.

Hundreds of millions of migrant workers travel within their countries to seek out means of survival — often leaving behind all they know for months or even years. Many face poverty and exploitation, and they need a robust social safety net to protect them, says migrant advocate and 2023 Audacious Project grantee Ashif Shaikh. He shares how his grassroots organization Migrants Resilience Collaborative is making life-changing benefits like social security and health care accessible to those who need them while also amplifying migrant voices — paving the way towards a world that supports the workers actually building it. (This ambitious idea is a part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)
