" Des jours affreusement tristes, j'ai passé loin de toi. Ne me laissez jamais sans nouvelles. C'est le pain de mon cœur. Oh Consuelo, je reviendrai bientôt vous dessiner partout des petits Princes... Consuelo je vous aime, Antoine "
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Lettre à Consuelo
I quite possibly watched every single conversation with #FranLebowitz out there, this one by far is the best, absolute delight. Asking good questions is an art.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.
The cruise ship hantavirus outbreak worries me for two reasons:
1. The absence of a clear, trusted public health voice from the US.
2. The temptation to reassure or alarm prematurely while the investigation is still evolving. @NEJM

Makary is out. Now the US has no CDC Director, No FDA Commissioner, and no Surgeon General. And the NIH Director who is also defacto acting CDC Director never trained in Medicine. During this hantavirus outbreak the US needs steady public health leadership and a authoritative voice to the American people. There currently is no one to fill that role.
«Я мальцом еще определял, кто фронтовик, а кто крыса. Первые награды не носили, пили молча 8-го и 9-го… А крысы по школам в орденах, и про подвиги свои в газетах. Сейчас редко где фронтовика встретишь». Василий Шукшин (1929-1974).
