Dear Georgia watchers and defenders of freedom worldwide, help us spread the word about Mzia Amaglobeli, a female journalist, who's on the 17th day of her hunger strike, surviving only on water. Her act of defiance is a refusal to accept the agenda of a Russian regime 🧵1/
🇬🇪 The consequences of U.S. sanctions on Bidzina Ivanishvili under Executive Order 14024 (not the Magnitsky Act) will be devastating.

During @thekillers' concert at #BlackSeaArena, some audience members left in protest.
In response to the frustration after the band brought a 🇷🇺citizen on stage, the lead singer, @BrandonFlowers, asked "Aren't we all brothers and sisters?" causing the protest.

It's both sad and infuriating when one of your favorite bands shows complete ignorance and disrespect while visiting your country. Was it that hard to do minimal research before visiting? Bye bye @thekillers

Day 485 of my 3 day war. Russia is invading Russia to free Russia from those who invaded Russia to free Russia from those who invaded Russia.
I remain a master strategist.
Don't wonder what will happen if Russia collapses. It already did! Years ago. It's not a state, it's a mafia front with factions fighting each other for money, resources, and power.

In an observational cohort study from Georgia, Davit Baliashvili and colleagues explore whether patients with tuberculosis receive complete and timely treatment for hepatitis C. https://t.co/JQbqkR04YP @dato_bala@Russellkempker@Fogarty_NIH@Emory_TB_Center@EmoryEPI
Our findings highlight the importance of improving integration and linkage to hepatitis C diagnostic and treatment services among patients with TB.
Existing large-scale public health programs for both TB and hepatitis C create a unique opportunity for integrated care
Loss to follow-up (LTFU) from hepatitis C care was more common among patients with TB, with 20% of patients with a positive antibody test not undergoing viremia testing and 43% of patients with viremia not starting treatment for hepatitis C (vs 14% and 19% in gen pop).
