TB can make diabetes worse, and the opposite is true. HIV/AIDS increases the chances of TB. As does substance abuse and poverty. TB currently kills over one million people per year.

You should never care what negative people think of you. If you like yourself that matters more than if they like you. What I find frustrating would not be a personal attack, but the mechanics of an attack. How people insult without understanding how illogical or silly their comments can be.

Did the US government budget simulator online. You can try it. I doubled CDC's funding in the hopes we can improve health and less sickness saves people more cash than any increase in health subsidies. Increased the Food and Drug Admin's funding by 3 billion. Increased social security by $1000 p/m

If you are the head of a peace organisation at a university and new conflicts are occurring, and existing ones continue (or get worse) does that have to reflect badly on your organisation? Is peacemaking not the fundamental point of the work? Do we have far less ambitious goals for peace groups?

My campaign to get actress Hong Chau to become a World Health Organization Ambassador continues. Why, because she is one of my fav actresses and because we have a bunch of diseases that could have been and should have been eradicated by now.

The cause of stopping hunger is a tough one. We have to eat daily so the support needs to be there daily. And with conflict, funding cuts, etc we can’t even guarantee we can feed people today.

How much should we donate to charity
10% or to the point if we gave more we would be as poor as the people we are helping? if it‘s right to give is It bad not to? Whatever the answers, hopefully it’s not to give nothing or anything above zero is good enough. Too much suffering for that to be right.

Can we stop the not in my backyard that stops affordable housing? More modular homes that are cheaper {but require less workers}? Would donations to Habitat for Humanity help much? Is not being able to afford to own, but rent that bad? Better than living on a bench. Increasing rent assistance?
