On June 5th, 1981, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control first reported on what would become known as HIV/AIDS. This June 5th, a Friday, ACT UP New York will be marking the 45th anniversary of the AIDS epidemic with a candlelight vigil and march, starting at the NYC AIDS Memorial. Save the date.

What (else) could possibly go wrong?

Oh oh.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Bhattacharya needs to read advice from International Hantavirus Society: “human-to-human transmission of ANDV should ... no longer be regarded as... unproven”. They caution against “overly categorical statements that transmission can occur only after clear symptom onset." zenodo.org/records/2007...

1. #CDC issued its 1st alert to health providers & public health depts on the cruise ship #hantavirus outbreak overnight. I got it at 12:45 am ET This should have happened days ago. CDC's communications are tightly controlled by HHS in this administration. This isn't the way CDC normally functions.

Just a reminder that humans can still create and spread incredible beauty and joy.
