Dr David Walcott, a Jamaican entrepreneur and doctor recently founded and convened Shapers Against CoVID an international task force of more than 250 young people from across some 60 countries across the globe to drive action against COVID-19.

“We’ve been doing everything from sharing knowledge to resourcing governments to building ICU [intensive care unit] machines and ventilators”, Walcott told the Jamaica Observer.

Walcott, a Jamaican Rhodes scholar from 2011, said he issued a global call to young, successful people in his network around the world and, within 24 hours, had convened a group of more than 250 young individuals in over 60 countries.

This was achieved about two weeks before the World Health Organization (WHO ) had declared a pandemic.
