In January I got very sick (flu like illness but much worse), no sleep for 2 days and almost checked myself into the ED. Had no idea what it was. Today I checked my #COVID19 Antibody status......IgG+ Only (sign of past infection). Mixed emotions🙄. Will retest tomorrow.

Does anyone know why we cant get thousands of "Covid-19 IgM Antibody Rapid Test Kits" from other countries (SK or China) and use it here? Is there any FDA regulation around this?

Not everybody can stay home, and we owe a big debt of gratitude to health professionals, transit and airport workers, first responders, and everyone keeping our communities going. Leaders have to step up to support people whose lives and livelihoods take a hit in the weeks ahead.

In 1923, researchers who discovered insulin sold the patent for $1 so it would be available to all. But drug companies hijacked this lifesaving medicine and now charge over $300 a vial. Let’s be clear about this: Big Pharma’s greed is literally killing people in this country.

I convened a small group in Bellagio to assess what more can be done to accelerate the uptake of innovation to fight drug resistant TB. Exciting progress, but coordinated action and innovative finance provide opportunities for increased impact. bit.ly/2OKSewv

We’re in a special moment in our nation’s history. It is clear that a dagger is pointed at the ideals that have made this country great. We cannot allow ourselves to be divided by anger or hate or fear. Make sure you’re counted. Vote November 6th.
