Tonight, Jewish New Yorkers mark the start of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. It is the peak of the Yamim Noraim, the Days of Awe, and an opportunity for profound reflection.
 
For those fasting — tzom kal, may your fast be easy and meaningful. 
 
And to all who observe, G'mar chatimah tovah. May you be sealed in the Book of Life for a good year to come.

@gilead.com "justifies excluding countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Argentina by classifying them as 'upper middle-income countries'. HIV advocates dispute this justification, partly because people in these countries played a key role in clinical trials to test these medications."

This is an important read right now.
Where one is born and the passport one carries are simply the luck of the draw. The people in the DRC and Uganda weathering the onslaught of a deadly disease; with no licensed vaccine, in a conflict zone, with their treatment centers on fire and their borders effectively sealed, did not choose this. They are playing the cards they were dealt. They are doing it with remarkable resilience and skill. And they are doing it while keeping the rest of us safer than our current policies deserve.

The least we can do in return is to see them as human and then to act accordingly.
