Here they are, fully explicated and updated -- Types of HIV Papers.

Note the following:
- @xkcdComic is brilliant
- shout outs to @SeretIDirini and @DrJLi
- a truly great video from @emmerpope, who's probably wondering what she's doing in an ID blog

@AFTVMedia I divide the next 13 games into 2 groups.

West Ham, Tottenham, Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea: 7 of 15 points needed. 6 not bad

Leicester, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Brighton, Everton, Leeds, Southampton: Need 18 of 24.

If 73 points not enough for Top 4 tip ur cap!

I'm currently reading my 5th or 6th article today that includes in it some form of looking back on the pandemic and its lessons. *Every* *single* *one* includes a variation of one or more of the following from scientists, public health agency heads, journalists, etc.:

Idiotic tweets like this can transmit misinformation just as easily as anti-vaxxers.

The whole problem is that vaccines are by far the most effective intervention, so if you're an [insert pejorative term] who's not willing to accept vaccination, it's hard to see how you'd accept other interventions (e.g. lockdown) that have a much worse cost-benefit ratio.

Outstanding summary of #B1617 Indian variant(s).

UK centric, but data worth contemplating for NAmerica. US mRNA vaccination rate going to put us in a decent position. But, just like p1, this remains a significant risk for parts of the States with inadequate vaccination

Florida seems to be positioning itself as the cultural haven for this new political view. If Dems don't address this blindspot sooner than later and gets framed by GOP as the "party that's telling us how to talk, how to think, how to live", watch out for Desantis 2024 prez ticket

[Meredith Clement @mer_clement]

Well done!! General approach of #NOLA during the pandemic, for both testing and vaccinating: enhance access, meet people where they are. Thanks for exceptional leadership, @nolahealthdept @AvegnoJennifer 👏👏👏
